Description

The USDA Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), published in November 2000, meticulously analyzed the consequences of prohibiting road construction, reconstruction, and timber harvesting on approximately 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System. This comprehensive USDA Forest Service FEIS Volume 2 document laid the groundwork for the 2001 Roadless Rule, which sought to establish enduring protection for these undeveloped regions. The rule emphasized ecological sustainability, water quality, and the preservation of wildlife habitats. In 3 volumes.
