to the regulations found in 36 CFR 228 which requires minimizing the impacts
of surface disturbance on the land.

(4) This operation complies with the Angeles National Forest Land and Resource
Management Plan, Pg. 3-20, and Pg. 4-40.

(5) After reviewing the Environmental Impact Statement, I find that no
significant impacts were identified on any of the resources for the proposed
action. Mitigation measures were incorporated into the final plan of operation
that is found in Appendix C. That plan of operation is made part of this
decision.

(6) I found that the project did not affect any unique characteristics of the
geographic area, as defined in 40 CFR 1508.27.

(7) After reviewing the public concerns, I found that the mitigation measures
that are made part of the decision will adequately reduce the impacts
associated with the concerns brought forward by the public.

Based on the information contained in the Final EIS, I have determined that
the project will not have a significant impact on the environment.
