Brad Burmark promised to share R5's Environmental Aspects/Impacts and more. In the meantime several of us have opined that there is likely a shared list of probable aspects and potential impacts that we might all draw from in working toward "Significance" and other matters..
Here is a start, cobbled together from stuff from R1 including FS Manual titles, activities, and impacts. Errors of transcription, or out-of-dateness, etc. are mine along. These are no doubt very preliminary stabs at what we might want. That's why I called it a start. (These might compliment Burmark's or might save Brad some work if these are similar in content and format.) Note: R1 tiers from FSM codes/titles to activities, impacts, etc. I'd like to craft a link to the spreadsheet but I don't yet know where it is, other than attached to an email.
Is this a right track to begin on? What vision of "Purpose and Scope of EMS," "Environmental Policy." "Objectives and Targets," "Operational Controls," etc. need we have in mind as we grapple with "activities, products and services,"environmental aspects," "environmental impacts," and other stuff from ISO 140001? [pdf - ISO 41001 - available to FS Intranet users only] How do we begin? I'm struggling.
