SNFPA Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
January 2004
Record of Decision
IV. Application of Decision
Application to Land and Resource Management Plans
This decision amends existing national forest land and resource management plans by establishing:
- Management direction and goals;
- Land Allocations
- Desired future conditions expected over the next 50 to 100 years;
- Standards and guidelines to be used in designing and implementing future management actions;
- A strategy for inventory, monitoring, and research to support adaptive management.
This management direction is described in the ROD, Appendix A, and is incorporated into the existing land and resource management plans for the Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, Tahoe, Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sequoia, Sierra, and Inyo National Forests of California, and that portion of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest that is in the Sierra Nevada. This ROD replaces, in its entirety, the SNFPA ROD of January 2001.
This decision does not change the capable, available and suitable (CAS) lands determination made in forest plans. This decision does not schedule any regulated timber harvest from these lands. Scheduling of regulated timber harvest and its associated Allowable Sale Quantity (ASQ) will be addressed as part of forest plan revisions. The schedule for forest plan revision is available on the web at http://fsweb.wo.fs.fed.us/em/nfma/index2.htm.
