Abstract:
EA proposes to remove a portion of recently blown down trees
within 50 and 100 year-old stands in AMA (Adaptive Management Area) and RR (Riparian Reserve)
LUAs (Land Use Allocations) within the NCRAMA (North Coast Range Adaptive Management
Area). The project proposes to remove a portion of these trees to reduce the risk of the population
build-up in bark beetles, and the resulting infestation of adjacent healthy trees, as well as reduce the
likelihood of fire killing the remaining live trees by meeting a need to reduce high surface fuel
loadings. FONSI finds no environmental impact statement is needed.
