What is the meaning of the phrase in the SEIS “covered under existing laws, regulations, etc”?
In Appendix A: Standards and Guidelines Alternatives S1 and S2: is a table comparing the Standards and Guidelines for the 2 alternatives. For some of the standards and guidelines included in S1 (designated with an “x”), the S2 column states, “Covered by existing law, regulation, or direction”. Keeping with the philosophy to reduce redundancy of management direction, these standards and guidelines were not included in the standards and guidelines for the SEIS ROD 2004. The intent is that Forests will follow the direction under its base authority. An example is in SEIS Volume 1 Appendix A: page 339. The standard and guideline included in S1, “Ensure identified beneficial uses for the water body are adequately protected…” is not included in S2 because it is already included in Forest Service Best Management Practices direction in “Investigating Water quality in Pacific Southwest Region: Best Management Practices Evaluation Program” (USDA-FS, PSW Region 1992).
