Klamath National Forest

Environmental Analyses

National Environmental Policy Act
NEPA provides direction for analyzing environmental effects for proposed actions. The Forest Service Manual and Handbook provide additional direction.

SOPA REPORTS (Schedule of Proposed Actions)

The SOPA provides information on activities being proposed by the Klamath National Forest, the planning status, and who to contact for more specific information so you may participate. To be included on the mailing list for a particular project, you must notify the project contact for that project.

The SOPA has a new look, as the format is being standardized for all National Forests in the nation as part of an initiative to improve Web delivery of government information. The SOPA is updated four times a year in early January, April, July, and October.

When a planning activity such as scoping or completing a decision are projected to occur within a given month, the estimated date shows as the first day of the month for that project. Some types of actions are ongoing with projects being generated and completed throughout the year as the need arises; these are indicated with "ongoing" in the description, and a scoping start date of 10/01/2003. Because the SOPA is electronically generated, Ukonom District is once again included on the Klamath National Forest SOPA, although it is still being administered by the Six Rivers National Forest.

For general information or if you wish to be added or removed from the SOPA mailing list, please contact Lynda Karns at (530) 841-4469. Thank you for your interest in the Klamath National Forest.
