Fire Management Plan Environmental Assessment
Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area » Fire Management Plan Environmental Assessment » Document List
Lake Roosevelt NRA announces that the Draft Fire Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (FMPEA) is available for public review and comment. The purpose of the Lake Roosevelt NRA Draft FMPEA is to supplement the existing EA by adding project areas for hazard fuel reduction and to revise the operating guidelines for project implementation expanding the use of mechanical methods and the continued use of prescribed fire to accomplish park management objectives.
Several issues were identified during the scoping process. The issues this plan addresses include potentially controversial issues such as possible impacts to adjacent lands, smoke management, and advance notification of adjoining landowners.
The Draft FMPEA involves analysis of two alternatives: the No Action Alternative, and the Proposed Action Alternative.
The public comment period is open from February 21, 2005 through March 27, 2005. The National Park Service encourages the public to access the document online through the PEPC(Planning Environment and Public Comment) website http://parkplanning.nps.gov/.
