As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and
natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the
environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation.
The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all our people.
The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under
U.S. administration.

Environmental Impact Statement on

and Old-Growth Forest-Related Species Within

this Final SEIS Tiers to and Supplements
This appendix describes the Final SEIS for the Northwest Forest Plan (USDA, USDI 1994a). It
provides the analysis for the Northwest Forest Plan and served as the basis for the Record of
Decision for Amendments to Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management planning documents
within the range of the northern spotted owl.
The Northwest Forest Plan FSEIS is a multi-volume document. Volume 1 consists of a summary
and three chapters: Chapter 1-Purpose and Need, Chapter 2-Alternatives, and Chapter 3&4-
Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences, as well as the glossary, distribution list,
and list of preparers. Volume 2 has 9 appendices (A-I), as follows:
A - Forest Ecosystem Management: An Ecological, Economic, and Social Assessment
(Report of the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team)
B - Additional Information on Standards and Guidelines
C - Letters of Direction
D - Related Direction and Activities
E - Implementation Structure
F - Response to Public Comments
G - Final Biological Opinion
H - Scientific Analysis Team (SAT) Report
I - Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
Appendix J consists of separately bound technical information documents. Appendix J2,
separately bound, contains Results of Additional Species Analysis, upon which much of the
analysis in this Survey and Manage SEIS is based.
