Grangeville, ID: What control will be implemented on private land impact that will impact public land direction?
We now have a better understanding of the relationships among activities on private lands and public lands because the Scientific Assessment studied all lands in the project area regardless of ownership. This understanding will help Forest Service and BLM managers make reasoned decisions on Federally administered lands. However, no control can or will be imposed on private lands as a result of this project, whether or not private lands are having impacts on public land management. Chapter 4 of the Draft EISs addresses the likely effects resulting from each alternative, plus the cumulative effects of activities that may occur on private or other non-Federal lands. The role that management of other lands may have on species and ecosystems in the project area was addressed by the Science Integration Team in the Evaluation of Alternatives.
