Wenatchee, WA: How does this plan affect the Northwest Forest Plan for Eastside National Forests?
The planning area for the Eastside EIS overlaps with the easternmost area addressed in the Record of Decision for the Northwest Forest Plan. Map 1-3 in the Eastside Draft EIS shows this overlap. Should conflicts arise between objectives and standards resulting from the ICBEMP and the direction provided by the Northwest Forest Plan, the decisions of Northwest Forest Plan would take precedence. However, we believe that the two plans are complementary to and compatible with each other and we do not anticipate much conflict in direction. 6. Pocatello, ID: Boundaries as outlined in the Columbia River Basin exclude similar conditions in other areas (i.e. Bear River/Bonneville cutthroat country in Southeast Idaho) that should or could be approached and managed similarly to alternatives in the EIS. Is this a possibility and would/could benefits from such an approach be included in monitoring and outcomes for the UCRB? Answer: Management decisions from the ICBEMP project can and will apply only
