SOPA ARCHIVES

The Forest Service publishes its Schedule of Proposed Actions (called "SOPA" for short) four times per year in January, April, July, and October. It is designed to notify the public about upcoming projects that are planned for the Los Padres National Forest.

For each project, the SOPA gives the location, a short description of the proposal, its status, opportunities for public comment, and the name of the particular official in charge of the project. The SOPA includes everything from major activities like oil drilling, construction of off-road vehicle routes, authorization of livestock grazing, and logging, to beneficial projects like the removal of small defunct dams and the eradication of invasive weeds, to small projects like campsite repairs and road maintenance.

The format of the SOPA has changed over the years. Earlier versions of the SOPA (1999 and before) were called the Environmental Newsletter. At one point, it was published every other month, but now is published quarterly.

All SOPAs for the Los Padres National Forest are listed below in reverse chronological order, beginning with the most recent.
