The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
Forest Plan Revision: The Manti–La Sal National Forest is revising its 1986 Forest Plan pursuant to the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219). To view documents go to- https://usfs-public.box.com/s/il2qej8ewipw1uuizdmqn1099ht64y3q
​​The Manti-La Sal National Forest is proposing to use a landscape-scale prescribed fire approach to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfires, increase resilience of existing vegetation groups, and improve ecological function in native vegetation communities and wildlife habitat.
The proposed action would include improvements to existing system components and development of a new water source within the Monticello Ranger District boundaries, and conveyance of water from the new source to the existing city treatment facility.
The Monticello Ranger District, Manti-La Sal National Forest, proposes the Peters Point Fuels Reduction Project. The proposal consists of 1336 acres of treatment units within a 2,786-acre project area to reduce the continuity of vegetative fuels associated with fire hazard.
The objective of the Skyline Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) Project is to reduce the risk and extent of, and increase the resilience to, insect and disease infestation; and to reduce hazardous fuels.
