The Coconino Nat'l Forest Has released the Draft Environmental Assessment for the proposed Lowell Observatory Discovery Telescope at Happy Jack. Lowell Obs picked the site for its stable air and dark sky. The proposal calls for some new construction and also some replacement construction at the site of the shuttered Ranger Station. The package is available for your review and comment on the Coconino Nat'l Forest website. You can submit comments until approximately 12 September to Larry Sears, District Ranger for the Mogollon Rim District, or Carol Holland, Project Leader, at their comments e-mail address, comments-southwestern-coconino@fs.fed.us.
