How will you avoid “analysis paralysis” so that planning is not disrupted and economic and social needs can be supported?
18. Libby, MT: This process looks like it will halt existing planning until required analysis is completed (i.e., watershed studies). What type of planning disruption is expected with implementation? How does this support the economic and/or social needs of people, cultures, and communities and support predictable and sustainable levels of goods and services from BLM and Forest Service lands? 19. Libby, MT: Analysis paralysis will destroy many communities ability to smoothly transition from the current planning regime just as surely as court ordered injunctions do. What, in these documents, addresses this potential “gap” for our families and communities? Answer: The subbasin reviews are intended to take only 2-3 weeks (see Table 3-5, EM-O3). We do not expect this review to significantly delay on-the-ground projects. Ecosystem analysis at the watershed scale (EAWS) is a more intensive process that could take 1-4 months to complete depending on the numbers and kinds of issues (see EM-O4)
