Abstract: To comply with the National Forest Management Act and address changes that have 

occurred over the past 27 years, the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests propose to revise the 

current land management plan (1987 plan). This programmatic final environmental impact 

statement (FEIS) documents analysis of the impacts of four alternatives developed for 

programmatic management of the 2.1 million acres administered by the Apache-Sitgreaves 

National Forests. 

The FEIS documents the analysis of all alternatives and the associated environmental 

consequences at a programmatic level. The preferred alternative (alternative B) analyzed in this 

FEIS and reflected in the accompanying “Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Land Management 

Plan,” would guide all natural resource management activities on the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests. This alternative addresses new information and concerns received since the 1987 plan 

was published, and it meets objectives of Federal laws, regulations, and policies.

Other Forest Service Contributors

Review and input in the development of the proposed plan and FEIS were received from the 

staffs of the Alpine, Black Mesa, Clifton, Lakeside, and Springerville Ranger Districts, 

Supervisor’s Office, and Southwestern Regional Office. Delilah Jaworski, social scientist with 

TEAMS Enterprise Unit, prepared the “Socioeconomic Resource Report.” Tamara Conner, forest 

environmental coordinator, provided NEPA review and oversight.

Consultation and Coordination

The Forest Service consulted the following tribes, Federal, State, and local agencies, groups, and 

individuals during the development of this environmental impact statement:

Tribes

The following nine tribes and one chapter were consulted: White Mountain Apache Tribe, San 

Carlos Apache Tribe, Hopi Nation, Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Zuni, Yavapai-Apache Tribe, Tonto 

Apache Tribe, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe, and the Ramah 

Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

Federal, State, and Local Agencies

Numerous Federal, State, and local agencies have been consulted in the development of the 

proposed plan and this FEIS. Complete mailing lists for the scoping periods are available in the 

“Plan Set of Documents.” Some of the agencies consulted include the following:
