PROJECT PLANNING AND DECISION
MAKING
Project-level planning and decision making involves the analysis of activities designed to achieve the goals, objectives, and desired condition outlined in the Land and Resource Management Plan. Some of these projects require compliance with requirements in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Such activities could include prescribed burning to restore an ecosystem, restoration of an oak-grassland area, development of a nature watch area, renovation of a lake access area, or a commercial timber harvest. Recent NEPA documents for LBL can be accessed through the links below.
