From the USDA Forest Service website –

“Water is one of the most important commodities on Forest Service lands, and the cleanest water flows from healthy, forested watersheds. The most effective way to approach ecological issues is to consider them at a watershed level.” You can read more here.

We must hold the Forest Service accountable for mandating the implementation of policies and procedures outlined on its own website, not simply rubber-stamping the least cost and/or easiest solution for water disposal.
