Gallatin National Forest Plan W FOREST SERVICE Gallatin Forest Plan 1987 as Amended through November 2015 12/01/2015 PREFACE The natural resources and the wildlands environment of the Gallatin National Forest is a national trust that is shared by all people of the United States. These resources are used and valued by many different people, sometimes at odds with each other. The management philosophy of the Gallatin Forest is to respond to these various needs by providing goods and services to local, regional, and national levels. This goal is tempered with the realization that it is not possible to provide all things to all people. The Forest Plan recognizes that there is a limit to the uses to which the land and resources can be put. The importance of recognizing these limitations is to ensure that National Forests can continue to provide for future generations. One of the major overall objectives of the Forest Plan is to recognize and manage for the high quality recreational, vegetative, and wildlife resources found on the Gallatin National Forest. Resources (such as the grizzly bear, migratory elk herds, a range of vegetative types, and the entire spectrum of recreation opportunities) are considered not only as they relate to the Gallatin Forest but also in the larger context. The Plan recognizes the significance of the Greater Yellowstone Area and has been designed to complement the management of the entire Greater Yellowstone Area and coordinate the use and management of the Forest’s resources with the other National Forests, National Parks and agencies involved. This Forest Plan is in compliance with the National Forest Management Act of 1976 (NFMA); the regulations for National Forest Land and Resource Management Planning (36 CFR Part 219); and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), including the Record of Decision for the Environmental Impact Statement covering the Forest Plan.

Purpose of the Forest Plan The Forest Plan guides all natural resource management activities and establishes management standards for the Gallatin National Forest. It describes resource management practices, levels of resource production and management, and the availability and suitability of lands for resource management. B. Management Direction Goals, objectives, standards, schedule of management practices, and monitoring and evaluation requirements comprise the Plan’s management direction. However, the projected outputs, services, and rates of implementation are dependent on the annual budgeting process. C. Relationship to Other Documents Environmental Impact Statement. The Forest Plan is based on the various considerations which have been addressed in the accompanying Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and represents the preferred alternative in that EIS. The planning process and the analysis procedure used in developing the Plan, as well as the other alternatives that were considered, are described or referenced in the EIS. Project level activities will be planned to carry out the management direction in this Plan. National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) requirements will be followed as the site-specific issues and impacts are addressed during project development. Regional Guide. The Regional Guide displays the Northern Region’s portion of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resource Planning Act (RPA) Program by National Forest, provides direction for National Forest plans, and develops standards and guidelines for addressing major issues and management concerns which

Oregon & Washington i Welcome n early 2010, President Obama announced America’s Great Outdoors initiative Ito conserve our cherished lands and encourage Americans to enjoy the outdoors. And in this I’m reminded of William Shakespeare’s quote, “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” Throughout my years of experience, this great notion still rings true. I can attest that Americans have grown closer by the simple virtue of spending time together in nature. And it is on this note that I am thrilled to present our 2009 edition of BLM Facts. Between 96 pages of photos, maps, and detailed facts, I’m very pleased to highlight the diversity of the BLM’s multiple use mission. We serve the public lands by accomplishing what is perhaps the most extensive range of duties by any one agency. BLM foresters use scientific methods to plan for a sustainable growth of trees which also provide a healthy environment while still affording Americans homes, offices, and jobs. Our recreation planners and interpretive specialists present inspirational educational events and breathtaking locations for Americans to visit and create long-lasting memories. Resource specialists care for our special areas protected under the National Landscape Conservation System. Scientists at the BLM complete crucial research using the most current data to ensure we maintain these lands for future generations.

    Final Wilderness Recommendation 2010 Update Grand Canyon National Park Arizona National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior NOTE: This document is a draft update to the park’s 1980 Final Wilderness Recommendation submitted to the Department of Interior in September 1980. The 1980 recommendation has never been forwarded to the president and Congress for legislative action. The 2010 draft update is to reconcile facts on the ground and incorporate modern mapping tools (Geographical Information Systems), but it does not alter the substance of the original recommendation. In 1993, the park also completed an update that served as a resource for the 2010 draft update. The official wilderness recommendation map remains the map #113-40, 047B, submitted to the Department of Interior in 1980. FINAL WILDERNESS RECOMMENDATION 2010 Update GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK ARIZONA THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOMMENDS THAT WILDERNESS OF 1,143,918 ACRES WITHIN GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, ARIZONA, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT, BE DESIGNATED BY AN ACT OF CONGRESS.

  • Maintenance Guidelines for Monument Roads and Primitive Roads Are
    APPENDIX E TRANSPORTATION MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES Ironwood Forest National Monument Travel Management Plan Maintenance guidelines for Monument Roads and Primitive Roads are established to achieve consistency in the way that Monument routes are maintained, and to ensure that only minimal maintenance work is accomplished for the access purposes that the different routes serve as identified in the land use allocations made in the IFNM RMP and the route designations established concurrently. Monument transportation routes provide access for administrative purposes that require access by different types of vehicles depending on the management activities (i.e. special projects, resource surveys, monitoring, law enforcement and emergencies) including sport utility vehicles, off highway vehicles, 4WD trucks, service trucks, wild land fire engines, and transports for construction and maintenance equipment. Monument access routes also provide access for the use, maintenance and operation of existing facilities and improvements under current land use authorizations (i.e. utilities, transportation, communication sites, range improvements, wildlife waters) that need access by different types of vehicles for normal inspection, maintenance, and emergency repairs. The Monument routes also provide access to not-federal land inholdings, including residential areas and ranch headquarters which need access by passenger car and livestock trailer trucks. The routes also provide access for outdoor recreational use by the general public who visit the Monument by variety of motor vehicle types, including passenger car, pick up truck, motor home and various off highway vehicles. The different types of vehicles using Monument routes have differing physical characteristics and performance capabilities, which were considered in developing maintenance guidelines for Monument roads, primitive roads and trails.
