How was economic resiliency factored into the Draft EIS?
Objective HU-O6 in table 3-5 recognizes the special needs of “areas of economic vulnerability” by emphasizing customary economic uses in these areas. The intent is to help sustain these areas through the transition to a less dependent (more resilient) condition. At a minimum, those communities identified as “isolated timber-dependent communities” in Chapter 4 (table 4-58) are targeted. In addition, Chapter 2 of the Draft EISs describes how economic resiliency was determined, and the current economic resiliency conditions. Chapter 4 describes how economic resiliency will be affected by the alternative management strategies and the methodology used to determine resilience. For specific information see UCRB pages 2-195, 3-195, and 4-211; Eastside pages 2-201, 3-203, 4-177.
