Mandy R. Belyea, Depute' County Administrator
Comments on proposedrule to rescindthe RoadlessRule anddraftenvironmentalimpact
statement, RIN 2025-16581.
Dear Chief Schultz:
ShenandoahCounty submits the followingcomments on the U.S. Forest Service'sproposalto rescind
the 2001 RoadlessArea ConservadonRule ("RoadlessRule"). For twenty-fiveyears,the RoadlessRule
has protected the most natural, least developed areas of the national forests that frame Shenandoah
County. These roadless areas provide vital benefits to our communides, including clean drinking water
and outstandingoutdoorrecreadonopportunities thatpowerour local economy. Accordingly,we
strongly urge the Forest Sendee to retain the Roadless Rule.
Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley have a deep, historic connection to the Roadless Ride; it was
originally announced in 1999 from atop Reddish Knob in Augusta County overlooking the Litde River
Roadless Area. With nearly 400,000 roadless acres, Virginia holds more roadless acres than any other
state east of the Mississippi River-nearly 250,000 ofwhich sit in the nearby George Washington
NationalForest (GWNF). ShenandoahCountyis honie to the BigSchlossroadlessareaandthe
Northern Massanutten roadless area.
Shenandoah County has long recognized that clean, safe drinking water is one of the primary benefits
the GWNFprovides to surroundingcommunides. In 2009 and2010,the Countypassedresolutions
calling on the U. S. Forest Service to "aggressively protect drinking water resources" from threatening
managementactivities.1 The RoadlessRuleretains the singlemost effectivewayto safeguard
downstream water supplies and rolling back this rule direcdy contradicts Shenandoah County's longstanding commitment to protecting our water.
1 See attached Shenandoah County, Resolution to the U. S. Forest Service on the George Washington
National Forest Plan, DrinkingWater Resource Managementand Hydraulic FracturingNatural Gas
Mining(Nov. 9, 20W).
LocaUy, the towns of Strasburg and Woodstock rely on surface intakes on the North Fork of the
ShenandoahRiver for municipaldrinkingwater.The BigSchlossroadlessareaprotects streams that feed
into the North Fork, as does the upstream Southern Massanutten roadless area in Page and Rockingham
Counties. In fact, a recent U. S. Forest Service report confirms that smaller towns and rural areas with
smallerupstreamwatershedsare the mostvulnerable to waterqualityimpacts andincreasedwater
treatment costs caused by land-use changes.2
Beyond water security, our roadless areas offer outdoor recreation opportunities for local families and
visitors, which is an important economic driver in our region. They feature world-class resources
alongside a rich heritage ofbackcountry hunting and fishing. CrudaUy, these areas protect vital -wildlife
habitats- sheltering Virginia's premier nadve brook trout streams, which report the largest populadons
south of the Mason-DixonUne.3
Ultimately, the RoadlessRule ensures balanced,responsible forestmanagementwhileleavingthe
majority ofour nationalforests available for other uses. Giventhe Forest Service'sexistingmaintenance
backlogs, it would be fiscally irresponsible to buUd newroads that cannot be maintained, especially at the
expenseoficreplaceablebackcountryareasanddownstreamimpacts.
ShenandoahCounty deeplyvalues anddepends on thesewild spaces.They ensure everyone can
experience solitude and adventure for future generations and protect our cultural heritage. Because they
support our economyandprotect ourwatersupply, we strongly urge the ForestServiceto maintain
current forest management standards and retain the Roadless Rule.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Wewelcome the opportunity to provide addidonal
informationor answeranyquestionsyouniayhave.

impacts, including massive water withdrawals, gas migration from newand abandoned wells, the inability
ofpublictreatment plants to adequatelytreat millions ofgallonsofgas miningwastewater, underground
injection of brine waste water, improper erosion and sediment control, improper cementing and casing of
wells, over-pressurized wells, significantincreases in industrial truck trafficwith subsequent increases in
accidents on rural roads, and other accidents and spills, and
WHEREAS,Congress' 2005 EnergyPolicyAct exempts the hydraulicfracturing drilling processfrom
long-held environmental regulations such as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, the Safe Drinking
Water Act, the Superfund law and other environmental regulations, and
