I guess you can read whatever you want into these stats. Some say few, others say too many. Is 50% a lot? or do you read it as a total so its only 3%? Just depends on which side of the fence you want to argue from.

The GAO looked at 762 planned projects on 4.7 million acres of national forests. Sixty percent of those projects had no environmental studies that could be appealed. Of the remaining 305 projects that could be appealed, 180 were challenged.
 
Since none of the lawsuit happy folks will refute these figures and throw their own spin on them, the figures must mean everyone is happy with them.
Over half of the projects put out by your USFS are objected to, they aren't doing their jobs very well then are they? Might as well privatize the operations and have it run right.
