Road Management Policy

Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck approved a new road management policy on January 4, 2001. A major part of it is an analysis process to be used in making better decisions on road construction, reconstruction, and decommissioning. The San Juan National Forest Forest-Scale Roads Analysis (PDF Format, 4.94 MB, 129 pages) was finalized in July 2006. Check our national site for more information on the road management policy. An example of a timber sale roads analysis is the Dolores Ranger District's Horse Creek Roads Analysis (PDF format, 14 pages, 258 KB).
