Found this document at the NPS AT website:
http://www.nps.gov/appa/parkmgmt/upload/810%20EA%20schedule%20final%2010%2006.doc
and found it very interesting, in particular these items:
Bridge over the Carabassett River: Is it small enough where the trail crosses that ice won't be an issue?
Thundering Falls relo in Killington: Where is this? I can't figure it out on the Maptech maps.
Bromley (Vt.) Land Exchange: Would this move the Trail farther from the ski area?
North Adams Relo: Anyone know what this is referring to?
NE Utilities Relicensing on Housatonic: Anyone know what this is referring to?
Route 17A Crossing Relo: Finally getting rid of this awful crossing?
Walkill River Crossing: Cool! This would create another neat boardwalk and get rid of a roadwalk.
Palmerton Superfund Cleanup: Would this speed up the rebirth of the "dead zone?"
Fort Indiantown Gap expansion: How much of St. Anthony's Wilderness would this eat up?
PA Route 944 crossing: This would be the third road crossing Pennsylvania has built for hikers in recent years. If this state, which is usually pretty lame with roads, can do this, I think the PIPC can pony up for a bridge across the Palisades Parkway.
Expanding rt. 9 at Keys Gap to 4 lanes: is this still a going project?
Various I-81 expansion projects in Southwest Virginia: Man, that's a lot of lanes. :-?
New River Relo: Is this one of the stretches that isn't yet on NPS land?
There also seem to be a lot more proposals to build wind and cell towers near the AT, particularly the one near Harrisburg that would be right next to the Trail.
