Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Hunting, Fishing, and General Recreation: Under Section 4(d)(3), the land taken into trust will remain open to the public for hunting, fishing, and general recreation. This is a positive outcome because it ensures individuals and groups of people can continue to use the land for outdoor activities.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
