Eradication of Non-Native Plants

**Feedback Opportunity Ends August 10**

The Forest Service has developed a plan to control existing infestations of invasive plants. A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) has been issued suggesting three (3) potential courses of action and disclosing the expected environmental consequences of the plan.

The three alternatives analyzed in this DSEIS are:

1. A No-Action Alternative.

2. The Proposed Action, prescribing a combination of herbicides with mechanical, manual, and cultural control methods.

3. An alternative designed in the same manner as the Proposed Action, with an emphasis on reducing the risk of herbicides entering the water.
