Commission of Johnson County supports revocation of roadless regulations established during Clinton's presidency
In a recent vote, the Johnson County Commission has expressed their support for the Trump Administration's initiative to rescind the roadless rules on Federal lands. The decision was made following a request from Commission Chairman, Bill Novotny.
The roadless rules in question are long-standing rules that have been in place since 2001, during the presidency of Bill Clinton. These rules have restricted road construction activities and have potentially impacted approximately 59 million acres of forest lands, which are under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Agriculture.
The roadless rule has not only impeded road construction but has also affected timber production activities. Moreover, according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the roadless rule has also impacted wildfire risk reduction efforts due to its restrictions on forest management activities.
The Trump Administration plans to rescind the 2001 roadless rule, a move that, if successful, would remove these regulations from Federal lands. This decision has raised concerns about the potential increase in wildfire risks, given the restrictions the roadless rule has placed on forest management activities.
The US Department of Agriculture has provided information regarding the extent of the roadless rule's impact on forest lands. The roadless rule's impact on forest lands is quantified as affecting about 59 million acres.
The exact name of the government official who coordinated the repeal of the Roadless Rule under the Trump administration program was Donald Trump himself as President, with the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue playing a key role.
The Johnson County Commissioners' vote shows their support for the Trump Administration's effort to rescind the roadless rules on Federal lands. The impact of this decision on the forest lands and the broader environmental landscape remains to be seen.
