Summary of Public Comments - Managing Recreation Uses in the Upper Segment of the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River Corridor EA Each unique and substantially different comment within a letter was assigned a comment number, subject code, and category code to enable grouping of similar comments for the report described in step 5. The coding structure and coding of each comment letter can be found in the project record. For example, a comment desiring more motorized loop trails to provide for a better recreational experience would be coded as: • Comment Number: 1 (1 st comment coded in the letter) • Subject Code: ALT (Alternatives) • Category Code: 100 Step 3: Form letters were identified and filed in the project record. Regardless of the number of copies received or the number of signatures, one copy of each form letter (identified as the master form letter) was analyzed for unique and substantially different comments and that one letter followed step 2 of this process. The other letters were identified as being associated with this master form letter. Step 4: Each of the more than 1,121 unique and substantive comments that were coded were entered into a database, verbatim. Step 5: Reports were produced from the database that contained the coded comments and a report was generated that grouped similar comments. The IDT, along with the third-party collaboration specialist, then drafted PCs that summarized each group of like-comments. These PCs were reviewed and revised by the IDT, and 100 total PCs for the EA are contained in this report. Step 6: The Forest Supervisor and IDT were provided a report of the PCs to assist them in discussing changes to the EA. In addition, both teams received a report of all 1,121 unique and substantially different comments, as well as the original comment letters. Step 7: After reviewing the PCs and comments, the Forest Supervisor met with the IDT to clarify questions, discuss comments, and direct changes to be made for the EA. In addition, the IDT responded to all the PCs and these responses are included with the associated PCs in this report. 274
