Wildfire Suppression

Funding Transfers Cause Project Cancellations and Delays, Strained Relationships, and Management Disruptions

By: Barry T. Hill,David P. Bixler

In 2003, wildfires burned roughly 4 million acres in the U.S., destroyed over 5,000 structures, took the lives of 30 firefighters, & cost over $1 billion to suppress. The substantial expense of fighting wildfires has exceeded the funds appropriated for wildfire suppression (WS) nearly every year since 1990. To pay for WS costs when the funds appropriated are insufficient, the Forest Service & the Interior Dept. have transferred funds from other programs. This report identifies: the amount of funds transferred & reimbursed for WS since 1999, & the programs from which agencies transferred funds; the effects on programs from which funds were taken; & alternative approaches that could be considered for estimating annual WS costs & funding WS.

BLM and the Forest Service

Land Exchanges Need to Reflect Appropriate Value and Serve the Public Interest

By: Barry T. Hill

Land exchanges -- trading Federal lands for lands that are owned by corporations, individuals, or state or local governments who are willing to trade -- have long been used by the Dept. of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management & the Forest Service as a tool for acquiring nonfederal land & disposing of Federal land. In 1998 each agency announced several initiatives designed to improve its land exchange program. This report determines: the agencies' use of land exchanges since 1989; the extent to which the agencies ensure that their land exchanges meet exchange requirements; & the effect of the agencies' recent efforts to improve the management of their exchange programs.

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers

Scientific Panel's Assessment of Fish and Wildlife Mitigation Guidance

By: Linda Harmon,Barry T. Hill

There are concerns about the possible negative impacts that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (CE) construction of water resources projects may have on fish and wildlife and their habitat. This report: (1) determined the number of CE civil works projects for which the Corps completed less than 50% of mitigation before starting construction, and (2) established a panel of scientific experts to examine this. This report assesses the quality of each program's guidance: (1) for the 5 stages of mitigation; (2) for 5 attributes -- currency, clarity, completeness, breadth, and viability of the natural and man-made systems into the future; and (3) overall, taking into consideration the stages and attributes. Charts and tables.

Federal Lands

Agencies Need to Assess the Impact of Personal Watercraft and Snowmobile Use

By: Barry T. Hill,Jim Wells, Jr.

This report provides information about the extent to which personal watercraft and snowmobiles are used on federal lands, the process by which decisions about their use are made, and the extent of monitoring being done in areas where their use is allowed. It focuses on the four major federal land management agencies, which manage about 95% of all federal lands: the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service, all in the Dept. of the Interior; and the Forest Service in the Dept. of Agriculture. Appendix I describes the report's scope and methodology; appendix II contains agency-by-agency responses to the questionnaire.

Taking The Road Less Traveled

By: Barry Allen Rosenfeld

A young man barely starting out in life is faced with a choice. Marry the beguiling young widow he has just met in an Israeli kibbutz and become the father of her three children or return single to his empty life as a rabbinical student studying to be a Reform rabbi. Although doubting the existence of God, he believes that God is guiding him and he marries the young woman. Thus begins his trip down the road less traveled that will take him back to the States where he experiences the psychedelic 60s, back to Israel where he covers a very hot war while working for NBC television and on to Belize where he becomes a gentleman planter and developer of thousands of acres of bananas and citrus, only to return once again to the States where he confronts a decision that will change his life forever.
