The proposal updates the management goals, objectives, standards, and monitoring requirements for the ten- year planning period beginning when the revised Plan is approved. In addition, the proposal includes new management area prescriptions. Revised management direction is developed for all of the lands and resources on the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests. COMMENTS Reviewers should provide the Forest Service with their comments during the review period of the draft environmental impact statement. The review period begins when EPA publishes the notice of availability of the DEIS in the Federal Register. The comment period will last 90 days beginning the day the Notice of Availability is published in the Federal Register. This will enable the Forest Service to analyze and respond to the comments at one time and use information acquired in the preparation of the final environmental impact statement, thus avoiding undue delay in the decision-making process. Reviewers have an obligation to structure their participation in the National Environmental Policy Act process so that it is meaningful and alerts the agency to the reviewer’s position and contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519,553 (1978). Environmental objections that could have been raised at the draft stage may be waived if not raised until after completion of the Final Environmental Impact Statement. City of Angoon v. Hodel (9th Circuit, 1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334,1338 (E.D. Wis 1980). Comments on the draft environmental impact statement should be specific and should address the adequacy of the statement and the merits of the alternatives discussed (40 CFR 1503.3). Send Comments to: Cary Frost, Forest Plan Revision Team Ozark-St. Francis National Forests 605 W. Main Street Russellville, AR 72801 Comments must be received within 90 days of publishing in the federal register.

  • Forest Esources Arkansas
    United States l Department of Agriculture Forest esources Forest Service Southern Forest Arkansas Experiment Station New Orleans, Louisiana Roy C. Beltz, Daniel F. Bertelson, Joanne L. Faulkner, and Dennis M. May Resource Bulletin SO-169 February 1992 SUMMARY The 1988 Forest Survey of Arkansas revealed new trends in forest resources. After decades of decline, forest area increased 3 percent. Pine plantation acreage increased substantially while acreage in natural pine stands decreased. Softwood inventory was down 5 percent, with growth also declining. Loblolly pine volume exceeded that of shortleaf pine for the first time in Arkansas his- tory. The outlook for hardwood resources is positive. Inventory and growth have increased, and loss of bottomland hardwood acreage appeared to be at a standstill.
