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.

We would authorize the removal and chipping of driftwood and trees from lake outlets and dams to maintain dam and outlet structural integrity and function. To view project documents, copy and paste this link into your internet browser: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/2gc816jpculu70objfhdm6awiphcxowm
