Management Plan Consistency Determinations

Part of the Forest Service's role in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is to review certain projects for consistency with the Management Plan, including projects on National Forest System Lands, projects within the CRGNSA initiated by other federal agencies, and private forest practices within Special Management Areas. If you have a project that requires review for consistency with the Management Plan, please contact Aiden Forsi, CRGNSA NEPA and Land Use Planner (aiden.forsi@usda.gov), to discuss your project and determine your review path.

The Management Plan for the CRGNSA describes the allowable uses and review standards for all development within the National Scenic Area. The Management Plan is developed by the Forest Service and the Columbia River Gorge Commission. For more information, or to download a copy of the Management Plan, please visit the Gorge Commission's website.

The projects listed here are those that the Forest Service is reviewing or has reviewed for consistency with the Management Plan. Projects initiated by the Forest Service that require documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are listed on the "Projects" page. Though many projects require review under NEPA and the Management Plan, they are separate reviews, and review under one process does not imply that a review is necessary or required other the under process.
