| 94-32147 | BlueGrass Bound Ecosystem Management Project; Idaho Panhandle National Forest, Boundary County, ID | Uncategorized Document | Notice is hereby given that the USDA Forest Service is gathering information in order to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for an Ecosystem Management project in the United States portion of the Boundary Creek watershed. The purpose and need for action is to trend or sustain the environment in the BlueGrass Bound project area towards the desired condition. The desired condition is to sustainably support healthy forest and aquatic ecosystems--within the project area as part of the Selkirk Ecosystem and the Idaho Panhandle National Forest. The proposed management activities include watershed, and fisheries and wildlife habitat improvement projects. Prescribed fire, timer harvesting, road closures, road reconstruction and obliteration, limited road construction, fish structures, and wildlife security areas are all being considered to achieve the desired condition. The Forest Service estimates that this proposed action would include 1,007 acres of underburning (including harvest units), 2,088 acres of timber harvesting, 23.8 miles of road obliteration, 10.0 miles of road reconstruction, 130.2 miles of road stabilization, 1.9 miles of new road construction, 1.5 miles of stream rehabilitation, 14.1 miles of revegetation, and 84 instream structures for fish habitat. Most of the proposed timber harvest locations are located on areas with the highest stand treatment needs; low current and potential caribou habitat value; low potential for producing and delivering sediment to streams; and high potential for creating or improving habitat for wildlife species such as flammulated owl, lynx, black-backed and pileated woodpeckers. Part of the proposed action involves harvesting timber from existing roads within the Saddle Mountain Roadless Area (1-154). These proposed actions are being considered together because they represent either connected, similar, or cumulative actions as defined by the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1508.25). | 1994-12-30 | 1994 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/12/30/94-32147/bluegrass-bound-ecosystem-management-project-idaho-panhandle-national-forest-boundary-county-id | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | Notice is hereby given that the USDA Forest Service is gathering information in order to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for an Ecosystem Management project in the United States portion of the Boundary Creek watershed.
