Huckleberry Flats OHV Trail Expansion Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact
(2007-08-31) Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
Announces decision to implement Alternative 1 of project EA, to increase the existing OHV trail system by approximately 30 miles to 63 miles, including a trail segment that will provide an alternative route to a mixed-use road where higher vehicle speeds may occur as well as other connecting segments. A Nonsignificant Forest Plan Amendment is included in the Proposed Action, which would 1) change the designation of the Huckleberry BGEA (Big Game Emphasis Area) from Medium Emphasis to Low Emphasis and 2) change the designation of the adjoining South Christy BGEA from Medium Emphasis to High Emphasis to increase the quantity of habitat management there to compensate for the reduction in the Huckleberry area.
