Abstract
The Superior National Forest is withdrawing its draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Superior National Forest School Trust Land Exchange Project. The Superior National Forest's decision to withdraw the draft EIS is based on several issues that arose with the original exchange. Through consideration of public comments and consultation from local Tribes, a variety of viewpoints on the exchange proposal were considered. These considerations informed a decision by the State of Minnesota to withdraw its request for a land exchange. Because the State of Minnesota has withdrawn their request, the draft EIS is being canceled.
