Coos Bay 2009 and 2010 sample tree falling categorical exclusion documentation
(2008-11-03) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Coos Bay District
The Coos Bay District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to fall, buck and scale sample trees ("sample tree felling") during the 2009 and 2010 calendar year to ensure the accuracy of timber cruises for future forest management actions. Trees would be felled only in areas that have been planned, marked, and cruised for timber harvest. Felled trees would be a subset of the trees designated for removal in the timber harvest area. The proposed action would be implemented on the above listed timber sale projects on the Coos Bay District as a precursor to timber sale contract preparation.

Coos Bay FY 2009 fire line construction categorical exclusion review
(2008-10-11) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Coos Bay District
Categorically excludes fire line construction project in support of slash disposal operations. The topography and terrain often dictate where the location for fire lines is most beneficial. The checkerboard ownership pattern often necessitates that an adjacent landowner locate fire lines on neighboring BLM lands. Fire lines would be strategically located on both BLM and privately owned lands thus maximizing prescribed fire managers opportunities to safely contain and control the prescribed burn. Proper location of fire lines will reduce the chances of an escaped fire and thereby help to reduce potential impacts to watershed resources in the general area of the burn operations. Seasonal restrictions may be required to minimize impacts to T&E species, as outlined in the current Biological Opinion. Fire lines would be cleared of vegetation to a width of eight (8) feet. Within the fire line the fire trail would be cleared to mineral soil to a width of three (3) feet. Water bars would be constructed across all fire trails following the slope guidelines below. Water bars would consist of a six inch deep trench oriented at a 30- to 45-degree angle with respect to the fire line. Water bars would extend approximately six inches beyond the width of the fire trail.

Coos Bay FY 2009 sale of special forest products categorical exclusion review
(2008-10-10) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Coos Bay District

Coos Bay FY 2009 tailhold and guyline requests categorical exclusion review
(2008-10-10) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Coos Bay District
Announces no further analysis is required on project. Use of tailhold and guyline trees to facilitate logging operations is a common occurrence throughout this region. The topography and terrain dictate the location where the use of these trees is most beneficial. The checkerboard ownership pattern often necessitates that an adjacent landowner must utilize trees on neighboring BLM lands. Use of tailholds on BLM will allow the operator to achieve better log suspension thereby reducing impacts to soil and watershed resources in the harvest area. Guyline trees are required for the safe operation of the yarding equipment. This CX pertains to requests from adjacent landowners that are not currently authorized through Reciprocal Right-of-Way Agreements.

King Myrtle environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2008-11-10) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Coos Bay District
The proposed action is to implement silvicultural treatments on approximately 700 acres of BLM administered lands. This action would include thinning of conifer stands in the GFMA, Late-successional Reserves (LSR), and Riparian Reserve (RR) land-use allocations. All of the thinning treatments in this action would yield commercial wood products; however, thinning in the GFMA is termed commercial thinning (CT) while thinning in the LSR and RR is termed density management thinning (DMT) because of differing management objectives.
