A Record of Decision (ROD) is the final step of the NEPA process. The ROD/Approved RMP is a document that states:

·         What the decision is;

·         Identifies the alternatives considered, including the environmentally preferred alternative;

·         Discusses mitigation plans, including any enforcement and monitoring commitments.

·         Discusses factors, including considerations of national policy, that were contemplated when it reached its decision on whether to, and if so how, to proceed with a proposed action. 

This ROD/Approved RMP would not have been possible without the public engagement starting in the spring of 2016 and continuing through the winter 2020.
