Submit new proposals for resource environmental (R/E) modifications to the
Director of Renewable Resources for review before discussion with the purchaser
and before any field work is done (other than that necessary to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA)).
In addition to the requirements in FSM 1950 the EA must contain a statement of
conditions including a critique of the original sale procedures to determine what
caused the nee for an R/E modification.
After review of the EA and coordination with the Director of Planning and Program
Budget, the Director of Renewable Resources must decide whether the proposal
warrants further consideration and recommend to the Regional Forester if an
interdisciplinary team should be appointed to review the proposal on the ground.
The interdisciplinary team must recommend whether or not the modification
proposal should proceed. If the recommendation is against an environmental
modification, the team must provide an alternative solution to the Forest
Supervisor. If the Regional Forester accepts the interdisciplinary team's
recommendation to proceed, the Forest supervisor must complete the field work and
submit the complete modification package to the Director of Renewable Resources
for approval. The appropriate line officers must review and approve the ES as part
of the modification package.
