Item Open Access Ball Park thin project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2008-09-05) Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Approves project implementing timber harvest on 915 acres for a gross estimate of 12.3 million board feet (MMBF) of Forest products. Natural fuels underburning will occur within two units on approximately 49 acres with three acres of reserves within the units.Item Open Access Ball Park thin project environmental assessment(2008-07) Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes to respond to the purpose and need by implementing timber harvest on 915 acres for a gross estimate of 12.3 million board feet (MMBF) of Forest products. Natural fuels underburning will occur within two units on approximately 49 acres with three acres of reserves within the units.Item Open Access Bridge thin project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2008-04-18) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative B of the project EA, to thin 2463 acres, yielding a gross estimate of 47.8 million board feet of wood products that would be sold over 3 years beginning in fiscal year 2008. The objectives would be to restore structural diversity in stem exclusion stands to enhance wildlife habitat, accelerate restoration of late-successional conditions for stands within riparian reserves, provide a sustainable supply of wood in support of the local and regional economy, restore "open oak savannah" stands where they were historically present, restore degraded roads infrastructure, improve the role of fire as a natural disturbance process in the ecosystem, and protect and maintain water quality and reduce hazardous fuel levels in the watershed for commodities in the wildland-urban interfaces.Item Open Access Bridge thin project environmental assessment(2008-03) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Proposes to thin 2463 acres, yielding a gross estimate of 47.8 million board feet of wood products that would be sold over 3 years beginning in fiscal year 2008. The objectives would be to restore structural diversity in stem exclusion stands to enhance wildlife habitat, accelerate restoration of late-successional conditions for stands within riparian reserves, provide a sustainable supply of wood in support of the local and regional economy, restore "open oak savannah" stands where they were historically present, restore degraded roads infrastructure, improve the role of fire as a natural disturbance process in the ecosystem, and protect and maintain water quality and reduce hazardous fuel levels in the watershed for communities in the wildland-urban interfaces.Item Open Access Hartz young stand management decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2005-07-29) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative 4 of project EA, harvesting 706 acres, including 563 acres of thinning and 143 acres of regeneration harvest to be done later. This alternative will reduce the stand diversity index (SDI) levels to 20% to 30% of maximum, with heavy thinning of 513 acres leaving approximately 45 to 65 trees per acre. Some 2050 feet of temporary roads will be built, with 7.76 miles of road closures, and 26.8 miles of reconstruction.Item Open Access Hartz young stand management environmental assessment(2005-04) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Proposes to harvest timber on approximately 706 acres, including commercial thinning on 622 acres and regeneration harvest on 84 acres, with commercial harvest volume estimated at 11.6 million board feet. Includes construction of 2,050 feet of temporary roads, 7.8 miles of road closures, and approximately 29.3 miles of road maintenance to allow better access to harvest areas and to reduce impact to resources.Item Open Access Shadow salvage project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2003-06) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative B of the project EA, because it satisfies the primary purpose and need to salvage commercially windthrown trees and portions of felled hazard trees in a timely manner while they still have economic value.Item Open Access Shadow salvage timber sale environmental assessment(2003-05) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Proposes salvaging about 70 thousand board feet (MBF) of windthrown trees (about 15 log truck loads), felling about 31 hazard trees along the six-mile haul route as part of a timber sale contract intended to mitigate impacts to TE&S species, soils and riparian resources, and minimize noxious weeds. Skyline and ground base equipment would be used to remove the logs.Item Open Access Trailbridge blowdown salvage project decision memo(2007) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement project removing approximately 185 wind-thrown and root sprung trees from 17 acres located along the McKenzie River near a section of the McKenzie River National Recreation Trail above the Trail Bridge Reservoir. The trees, blown down by a December 2006 storm, will be sold at a timber sale and yield approximately 190,000 board feet of merchantable wood products.Item Open Access Trapper project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2003-05) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative B from project EA, using timber harvesting techniques, prescribed fire, and snag creation methods to approximate stand structures resulting from historic high security, stand-replacement fires and partial-stand replacement fires on 155 acres. Approximately 11.4 miles of existing permanent roads would receive maintenance to facilitate access for logging, and about 1 mile would be decommissioned.Item Open Access Trapper project environmental assessment(2003-03) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Proposes to implement portion of recommendations found in the Blue River Landscape Strategy, a recommended landscape management and watershed restoration plan, an administrative study designed to measure effects on the ground, and a series of analyses of landscape effects over time. Includes using timber harvesting techniques, prescribed fire, snag creation methods to approximate stand structures resulting from historic high severity, and stand-replacement fires and partial-stand replacement fires on 155 acres. Approximately 11.4 miles of existing permanent roads would receive maintenance to facilitate access for logging, and about 1 mile would be decommissioned.Item Open Access Two Bee landscape management project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2006-12-07) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative B of the project EA, harvesting timber on 825 acres, yielding approximately 10.8 million board feet (MMBF). Includes moderate partial cutting on 591 acres, moderate partial cutting with multi-story objectives on 121 acres, commercial thinning on 87 acres, and salvage on 19 acres, all to be sold over four years beginning in fiscal year 2007. Would also require 7.5 miles of road closure, decommissioning of .4 miles of open roads, and road maintenance on 21.6 miles of other Forest roads.Item Open Access Two Bee landscape management project environmental assessment(2006-10) McKenzie River Ranger District (Or.)Proposes to harvest timber on 825 acres, yielding approximately 10.8 million board feet (MMBF). Includes moderate partial cutting on 591 acres, moderate partial cutting with multi-story objectives on 121 acres, commercial thinning on 87 acres, and salvage on 26 acres, all to be sold over four years beginning in fiscal year 2007. Would also require 7.5 miles of road closure, decommissioning on .4 miles of open roads, and road maintenance on 21.6 miles of other Forest roads.
