The Idaho Panhandle National Forest has decided to withdraw its earlier plan to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Noxious Weed Treatment Project. Instead, they will conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) to check if significant effects exist that would require an EIS. This change was announced by the Forest Service, part of the USDA, and further information can be obtained from Anjel Tomayko, the Forest Environmental Coordinator.
Simple Explanation
The Idaho Panhandle National Forest has decided not to make a big, detailed study (called an Environmental Impact Statement) about how they will deal with pesky weeds. Instead, they will do a simpler check (called an Environmental Assessment) to see if they need to study the impact more.
