Proposed Forest Plan Amendment for Management of Planned and Unplanned Ignitions
On February 24, 2012 Carson Forest Supervisor, Kendall Clark signed a decision to amend the Carson National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (forest plan). The decision broadens the applications for managing wildland fire on the Carson National Forest by changing the wording in the forest plan to reflect updated National Fire Policy. The wording in chapter C and chapter D of the forest plan will be changed and is summarized in the decision notice. Details of the changes can be found in Appendix A of the environmental assessment. The administrative review process and appeal rights for this decision are described in the decision notice.
