Will new road construction be allowed in currently roadless areas?
The intent is to minimize road-related effects, especially in areas currently classified as having road densities of “none” or “low” (see table 3-5, RM-S15). If Forest Service or BLM units have such an “unroaded” area where they want to do some restoration work that calls for more than the recommended road densities, the standard can be changed to allow some new roads in these areas if EAWS is conducted, if it can be shown that no adverse effects will result, and if the NEPA process is completed, as described in EM-S13.
