As part of carrying out the mission of the USDA Forest Service, agency resource specialists develop proposals which will enhance or maintain resource values on public lands, as well as generate products. In addition, the public may submit proposals for various uses and recreational events. A necessary part of the planning process is environmental analysis and documentation, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and agency direction.
The quarterly Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA) reportcontains a list of projects typically higher in complexity which are published in the SOPA. These proposed projects are currently undergoing environmental review, analysis, and documentation.
