Economic Effects of the Sierra Nevada Framework on the Herger Feinstein Quincy Library Group Forest Recovery Act
The social and economic effects of the Record of Decision for the Sierra Nevada Framework with its restrictive landbase and standards and guidelines can be measured in the $14.4 million swing of four projects that were originally listed as revenue producing Timber Sales under the Fiscal Year 2001 Implementation Plan. The effect of the Sierra Nevada Framework on these projects was to cause them to be offered as non-revenue producing Service Contracts. |
