| 00-14065 | Douglas Project Area Environmental Impact Statement | Notice | The Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to provide a supply of timber for the Tongass National Forest timber sale program, to identify recreation opportunities and to develop a road management plan for the forest roads connected to the City of Kake. The Record of Decision will disclose where, if any, the Forest Service has decided to provide timber harvest units, associated timber harvesting facilities, identify dispersed recreation opportunities and propose any changes to the existing forest road system. The proposed action is to harvest timber on an estimated 1,600 acres and to provide multiple timber sale opportunities for a total of approximately 35 million board feet (mmbf) of timber. Timber harvest will be accomplished using a variety of silvicultural prescriptions and harvest methods to meet the standards and guidelines of the Tongass Forest Plan. This project would include the construction of up to 30 miles of road and may include one new log transfer facility (LTF) within the project area. This project may also include an analysis and decision for a nonsignificant amendment to the Forest Plan to revise the location of small Old Growth Reserve(s) within the project area. Recreational opportunities for enhancement may include dispersed sites for camping, and improved access for hunting and subsistence users. A road management plan will be developed to safely accommodate public traffic. A range of alternatives responsive to significant issues will be developed and will include a no-action alternative. The Douglas project area is approximately 95,500 acres in size and is located in Value Comparison Units 430, 431, 432, 433 and a portion of 429 on Kupreanof Island, Alaska, on the Petersburg Ranger District of the Tongass National Forest. The project area is within an Inventoried Roadless Area (South Kupreanof #214 as identified by the Tongass Land and Resource Management Plan). | 2000-06-06 | 2000 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/06/06/00-14065/douglas-project-area-environmental-impact-statement | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-06-06/pdf/00-14065.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to provide a supply of timber for the Tongass National Forest timber sale program, to identify recreation opportunities and to develop a road management... |
