Jan. 20, 2005. On Dec. 23, 2004, the U.S. Forest
Service released new regulations covering planning and management for all
National Forests under the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). These new
rules totally change how 192,000,000 acres of public land will be managed. This
white paper is the first extensive review of the new regulations and the
environmental management systems (EMS) they require. Included is an in-depth
analysis of ISO 14001, the international standard for the development and
implementation of EMS.
The white paper is available here in Word format (275 KB).
The white paper is available here as a web page.
