Francis Marion National Forest Draft Revised Land Management Plan

Three alternatives for revision of the 1996 Francis Marion National Forest Revised Land and Resource Management Plan (forest plan) are described, compared and analyzed in detail in this draft environmental impact statement (DEIS). Alternative 1 represents no change from the current forest plan. Alternative 2 is the alternative preferred by the Forest Service and is the foundation for the proposed plan. Alternative 3 is a variation of Alternative 2 and considers less prescribed burning near communities and major roads.
