Projects are proposed actions that are analyzed through the National Environmental Policy Act process. The National Environmental Policy Act requires federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of proposed federal actions or projects related to forest management. Depending on whether or not a proposed action could significantly affect the natural environment, either a Categorical Exclusion (CE), an Environmental Assessment (EA), or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prepared. These documents involve analyzing different alternatives to the proposed action and may require public notice and comment. They result in one of the following NEPA decisions: Record of Decision (ROD), Decision Notice (DN), or Decision Memo (DM).
Note: Not all projects may appear on map. See list below for complete list of projects with more information or documentation.
