FSM 2180-Mitigation of Adverse Impact #Directives-3839
The United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service or Agency), is proposing new directives to clarify the Agency’s policy for the mitigation of adverse impacts involving National Forest System lands. The Forest Service has been incorporating mitigation into its decision making for decades, under many different statutory authorities; however, implementation has been inconsistent across the Agency. A national policy for the mitigation of adverse impacts to resources across the National Forest System would improve consistency, transparency, and effectiveness, and result in better overall conservation outcomes.
