Abstract

Consideration of cumulative watershed effects (CWEs) has both political and physical aspects. Regardless of the practical usefulness of present methods of dealing with CWEs, the legal requirement to address them remains. Management of federal land is regulated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. The state of California has passed analogous laws: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Porter-Cologne Act--both of which affect management on private land, primarily through the Forest Practice Regulations that they have fostered
