Lewis and Clark National Forests Plan, Middle Fork Judith and Big Snowies wilderness study report, Montana

Technical Report · Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1982

OSTI ID:5823836

A draft environmental impact statement (EPA No. 820505D) on a proposed land and resources management plan for 1.8 million acres of land in Montana describes the effects of increasing the development of forest resources and dispersed recreational activities and limiting oil and gas leases. The plan would increase employment and expand timber and grazing industries of the area, which would benefit economic growth and productivity. It would assure continuation of the current method for handling oil and gas leases. Negative impacts would result from a decline in forest and primitive camping capacity, a decrease in big game populations and hunting opportunities, and their would be a loss of habitat. The Montana Wilderness Study Act of 1977, Forest Management Act of 1976, and Wilderness Act of 1964 require the impact study.
