Schedule of Proposed Actions

The Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA) informs people of environmental analyses currently in progress or recently completed on the Forest pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act.

SOPA Mailing List

The SOPA contains a list of projects that will begin or are currently undergoing environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The SOPA is updated at least quarterly and is intended to provide early informal notice of projects so that you have the opportunity to become involved in the planning process. The list of projects on the SOPA includes a brief project description, pertinent timelines, and a contact person. Joining this mailing list will result in automatic notifications of the quarterly SOPA report for the Stanislaus National Forest. This mailing list is specific to environmental planning under NEPA.
