Recommendations

We recommend, going forward, that Forest Service Region 6 use the numerical point scoring specified by the Washington Office when prioritizing eligible projects.

We recommend that Forest Service Region 6 strengthen its LRT project selection process, going forward, to formally document the information reviewed and decisions made when determining LRT project eligibility and scoring, to allow for independent review.

We recommend that Forest Service Region 6 establish controls to confirm that, going forward, all tasks within an LRT project are eligible before approving the project and funding allocation.

We recommend that Forest Service Region 6 review the two projects and recover any of the $632,427 allocated LRT funding that was spent on ineligible tasks or provide confirmation that no LRT funding was spent on ineligible tasks.
