Role of Foresters in the Areawide Waste Treatment Management Planning Process

Abstract

The Areawide Waste Treatment Management Planning Process (Section 208, PL 92-500) is expected to affect forest land management, including silvicultural practices, costs, and policy. Foresters need to understand and become involved in the 208 planning process, to receive training in available pollution control technology, and to press for research in cost-effective methods for minimizing water quality impacts and in methods to predict impacts of proposed management.
