Item Open Access Upper Grande Ronde mine tailings restoration project environmental assessment(2009-01) Wallowa-Whitman National Forest (Agency : U.S.)The Upper Grande Ronde Mine Tailings Restoration Project would remove and/or redistribute mine tailings as far away from the wetted edge of the upper Grande Ronde River as possible. A total of 18 sites would have mine tailings removed or redistributed for an approximate total of 46,964 yards. All of these sites are located within the floodplain of the upper Grande Ronde River (approx. 2.5 stream miles) and East Fork Grande Ronde River (approx. 25 mile). Wood would be placed within the entire 4.7 miles of the upper Grande Ronde River. Two roads and two dispersed sites would be obliterated. Six other dispersed sites would continue to provide recreation, but would have defined access points through strategic boulder placement. Seeding and planting would occur through out the entire project area.Item Open Access Sugar vegetation management project environmental assessment(2008-11) Wallowa-Whitman National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes several alternatives for project initiating tree thinning, fuel reduction, and rehabilitation work, including placing large wood into Five Points Creek.Item Open Access Bald Angel vegetation management decision notice/FONSI(2007-02-22) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative 3 of the project EA, emphasizing retention of critical high quality cover and connective corridor areas to provide cover and connectivity habitat while other overstocked stands are treated to accelerate development of long-term landscape cover and large structure needs.Item Open Access Bald Angel vegetation management decision notice/FONSI(2007-02-22) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement Alternative 3 of the project EA, emphasizing retention of critical high quality cover and connective corridor areas to provide cover and connectivity habitat while other overstocked stands are treated to accelerate development of long-term landscape cover and large structure needs.Item Open Access Bald Angel vegetation management project environmental assessment(2006-12) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Evaluates actions to restore and enhance ecosystems, and reduce fire danger by fuels and density reduction treatments. Includes prescribed burning, precommercial and commercial timber thinning, and road closures.Item Open Access Bald Angel vegetation management project environmental assessment(2006-12) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Evaluates actions to restore and enhance ecosystems, and reduce fire danger by fuels and density reduction treatments.

Emily II fuels reduction project environmental assessment and decision notice/FONSI(2006-04-06) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Environmental assessment reviews proposed activities to respond to fire risks in the area deferred from the original Mt. Emily project within mapped lynx habitat, by modifying fuels and potential fire behavior on public lands. Includes ground-based removal of trees, cleaning and non-commercial thinning of small diameter trees in riparian areas, and protection of 331 acres of previously deferred lynx habitat.Item Open Access Mt.

Emily fuels reduction project environmental assessment and decision notice/FONSI(2005-02-25) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Environmental assessment reviews proposed activities designed to reduce fuels and associated fire behavior in the stands of timber adjacent to or within the wildland urban interface on Mt. Emily. Activities include ground-based removal of trees, road construction and reconstruction, cleaning and non-commercial thinning of small diameter trees in riparian areas and prescribed burning. Decision Notice announces implementation of Alternative 3, and the decision modification drops the treatment of 63 acres of prescribed burning (Unit 309) and 290 acres of mechanical fuels reduction, and finds the Canada lynx habitat protection area to be outside the boundaries of the project.Item Open Access Mt.

Identifies existing conditions and provides an analytical framework and integration of the conditions and processes of the ecosystem elements. Lists elements out of balance with the analysis area, and identifies opportunities to return balance to the area subsequently pursued in the analysis.Item Open Access Meadow Creek Watershed analysis(2002) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Documents the completed update for the 1994 Upper Grande Ronde Watershed Analysis, investigating needs, opportunities, priorities, effects, and success measurements. Includes description, issues, key questions and relevant processes, past and current conditions, desired condition and trends, management opportunities, landscape scale monitoring workplan, and management thresholds.Item Open Access Meadow Creek Watershed analysis(2002) La Grande Ranger District (Or.)Documents the completed update for the 1994 Upper Grande Ronde Watershed Analysis, investigating needs, opportunities, priorities, effects, and success measurements.
