Support streamlined environmental review for forest treatment and salvage

McClintock supports reforms to speed forest-treatment and timber-salvage work on federal lands. The 2015 Resilient Federal Forests Act, which he supported, would create categorical exclusions from NEPA for those operations and limit environmental studies for salvage sales to 90 days. He argues that faster review would help remove fire-killed timber before it loses value and allow damaged land to be restored.

Context: The passage describes the 2015 bill as having passed the House and awaiting Senate action at that time; it does not establish the bill’s later status.

In their own words

It sets a 90-day time limit on environmental studies for salvage sales
