Bill overview
This bill, the Wildfire Prevention and Drought Mitigation Act of 2021, aims to streamline environmental reviews for certain forest management activities. It establishes a categorical exclusion, meaning environmental assessments and impact statements aren't required, for activities focused on protecting water sources, improving watershed health, restoring snowpack, or adapting to drought conditions. These activities are limited to a maximum of 10,000 acres, but can extend up to 30,000 acres if located in areas experiencing severe or exceptional drought.
