Developers of the proposed 10,000-person Village at Wolf Creek, project opponents and the U.S. Forest Service agreed Tuesday that foresters will redo their environmental impact statement.
Environmental groups sued the agency in April 2006 over its authorization of two access roads across public lands to billionaire Red McCombs’ acreage adjoining the small ski area atop Wolf Creek Pass in southwestern Colorado.
U.S. District Judge John Kane issued a preliminary injunction Oct. 4, 2007, to halt the development until he ruled on the adequacy of the EIS.
Rather than wait, the parties agreed Tuesday to a new EIS. Ryan Bidwell of Colorado Wild called it “a tremendous victory for the environment.”
