Forest Practices Application Review System (FPARS)
The Forest Practices Application Review System (FPARS) streamlines the processing of Forest Practices Applications and improves the public's ability to review proposed forest activities. The Forest Practices Application Review System replaced the Department of Natural Resources Mapping Application Planning System - MAPS.
The Forest Practices Application Review System makes use of the Internet, document imaging and management technology, interactive geographic information system technology, and the Oracle database system to provide for collection of Forest Practices Application information, distribution of Forest Practices Applications for regulatory and public review, risk assessment of proposed Forest Practices Application activities, and archiving of Forest Practices Applications.
