US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. 1993. Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on management of habitat for late-successional and old-growth forest related species within the range of the northern spotted owl. US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management
From document abstract: "Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management propose to adopt coordinated ecosystem management direction for the lands they administer within the range of the northern spotted owl. This Supplemental Environmental Impact statement (SEIS) presents as altematives the options developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team and presented in their report Forest Ecosystem Management: An Ecological, Economic, and Social Assessment. Each altemative identifies land allocations and management direction that provides for a range of protection of old-growth forests on lands administered by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The preferred alternative is Alternative 9.... The Record of Decision for this SEIS will supersede the management direction contained in existing Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management plans for specific resources and areas that are identified in this SEIS." Document contains information on issue and land management of lands within the habitat of the federally listed northern spotted owl issue throughout the northwest including Olympic National Park, WA. The actions recommended by the report affect federal land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service, some of which borders Olympic National Park. Also, some of the owl data used for the report was gathered in Olympic National Park.
