B. Questions and Answers:

Question:

1. Does the Forest Service have a preferred approach to NEPA over the life of the project? For example, will the NEPA analysis be site-specific for each of the three planning units (Onion WUI, N/S Mill, and Little

Twin WUI).

2. Also, what is the anticipated level of NEPA (for example: Programmatic EIS and then site-specific

EA’s) or some other approach?

Answer:

Please refer to Section L and M for NEPA team and experience requirements. Appendix A is written specifically to allow for any NEPA documentation that is legally sufficient. Therefore, it is at the discretion of the Prime Contractor to complete a single EIS, multiple EAs, or any combination of these, along with CEs.
