This page provides a list of projects that have either recently been completed or that are currently underway that legally require the Umpqua National Forest to run through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process before proceeding. This process includes a scientific analysis of proposed actions in an effort to make the best decisions concerning land management.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. Projects requiring NEPA also provide specific opportunities for public review and comment. Learn more about NEPA and how you can participate in the NEPA process.
Note: Not all projects may appear on the map. See the list below for a more complete list.

Umpqua National Forest
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.
This project seeks to provide research opportunities, promote forest structural diversity, develop a more resilient landscape, and improve watershed health. It proposes thinning, prescribed burning, fuel breaks, and transportation system changes.
Treat approximately 10,054 acres to restore and maintain late seral forest conditions to support species that rely on those habitats and to improve the water quality of the project area and subwatersheds. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/r1enoh45v1h9oo472yxjsumgi5sr7dde
This project is to authorize a special use permit for the use of a small tract of Forest Service land by an adjacent landowner. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/8qgptlpe2r8qn9t1k8opu65fwfox1d3r
Expand & approve treatment of invasive plants & weeds to be responsive to changing conditions across Forest. Increase herbicide &treatment options, enable early detection rapid response (EDRR) & set implementation plan protocol. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/3ayhnmj2wzxze6ulx033b1q2yhn686y0
