<br />00~S21 <br /> <br />Summary of the Draft <br />Environmental Impact Statement <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />This is a summary of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that <br />accompanies the White River National Forest Proposed Revised Land and Resource <br />Management Plan (Forest Plan). This summary presents the major findings of the <br />analysis that went into building the DE IS. <br /> <br />In addition to the DEIS, the revised Forest Plan also includes the following: <br />. a packet of maps that illustrate much of the data and results found in the revised <br />Forest Plan and the DEIS <br />. a book of appendices that supports the material presented in the DEIS. <br /> <br />All of this information is available to you at your local Forest Service office or public <br />library. We realize, however, that this amount of information can be overwhelming. <br /> <br />It is our hope that this summary will help you see what we did, why we did it, and where <br />we go from here. Our goal is to provide you with information that will help generate <br />written comments on the draft documents. These comments will help us focus and <br />improve the final version of the documents. <br /> <br />This summary contains the following information: <br /> <br />. an overview of the White River National Forest and Forest Plan <br />. publ ic involvement process <br />. brief descriptions of the revision topics <br />. themes of the forest management alternatives <br />. land allocations for each forest management alternative <br />. probable effects that each alternative will have on the Forest <br />. how you can comment on the draft documents. <br /> <br />Return to Welcome I <br />
