Environmental Assessment of the Effects of the 2007 Management Guidelines for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker on Army Installations
Abstract
This environmental assessment provides an analysis of the environmental and socioeconomic effects of the 2007 "Management Guidelines for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (RCW) on Army Installations." This action is a Department of Army initiative to meet conservation requirements for the RCW on Army lands while accomplishing the Army's primary mission of training and preparing troops for military conflict. This environmental assessment is programmatic in nature and does not provide analysis of site-specific environmental and socioeconomic effects. Installations will prepare installation Endangered Species Management Components (ESMCs) of their Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMPs) in accordance with the preferred alternative and Chapter 11, AR 200-3. Installation ESMCs and future project-level activities associated with the preferred alternative on Army installations will require disclosure of site-specific effects in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and other applicable laws as required.
