Title	Utah Fire Amendment: environmental assessment
Description	This environmental assessment considers the effects of a proposed new plan for fire management in the six National Forests in Utah (Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-La Sal, Uinta, Wasatch-Cache). This digital copy was made from the print report generously lent to us by University of Utah's Marriott Library via Interlibrary Loan.
Abstract	Landscape assessments for the six National Forests in Utah have identified many ecosystems in conditions that threaten their long-term resiliency, integrity, and sustainability. The assessments clearly show that fire is needed in these ecosystems at scales and frequencies much greater than originally analyzed in existing forest plans. New information concerning fire management has been developed in recent years, and fire management policies at the national level have changed. In 1998, the forest supervisors of the six National Forests in Utah (Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-La Sal, Uinta, Wasatch-Cache) agreed that these changes needed to be incorporated in forest plan direction for fire management (both use and suppression of fire). They decided to work together to develop consistent direction for the six forest plans The Forest Supervisors signed the project initiation letter for the Utah Fire Amendment analysis in June 1998. The interdisciplinary team developed a draft purpose and need and proposed action, and issued it for public comments and suggestions in October 1998. The team has considered the comments received and developed alternatives to the proposed action based on the issues raised. The interdisciplinary team wrote this environmental assessment to disclose the impacts of two action alternatives and the no-action altemative. Chapter 2 discusses public involvement, issues and other concerns with the proposed action, and how the issues and concerns were addressed. Three alternatives are analyzed in detail, including no action. Also described are five alternatives that were considered, but not given detailed study. The chapter ends with a comparative synopsis of alternatives based on the environmental consequences disclosed in Chapter 3. This chapter describes the affected environment and the environmental consequences. The affected environment describes the existing conditions of the project area that may or may not be affected by implementation of the alternatives considered in detail, described in Chapter 2. For each resource topic, the legal and administrative framework is presented followed by a brief description of the affected environment. The environmental consequences section discloses probable programmatic direct, indirect, and cumulative effects that could result from future use of the management direction in each alternative.
