    Lower Sheep timber sale and fire reintroduction project environmental assessment, decision notice and finding of no significant impact
    (2005-06) Walla Walla Ranger District (Wash.)
    EA proposes to reduce fuels in seven areas that cover approximately 4301 acres using prescribed fire (3000 acres), handcutting, piling and burning of fuels (53 acres), and timber harvest (220 acres). Timber harvest would also be used on another 2678 acres to increase stand vigor and resiliences, removing about 16 MBF. Also includes 60 miles of road maintenance and two miles of temporary roads. Decision notice announces implementation of project EA Alternative B, using a combination of timber harvest and fuel reduction activities.

    Sunflower Bacon project environmental assessment, decision notice and finding of no significant impact
    (2006-06) Heppner Ranger District (Or.)
    EA proposes vegetation and fuels management on about 10,000 acres to improve the health and vigor of the upland forest, and reduce the potential for future fires of uncharacteristic effects in upland forests. Includes commercial thinning of about 2400 acres, treatment of 40 acres of dead and downed woody material resulting from the 2000/2001 tussock moth outbreak, precommercial thinning of about 700 acres, treatment of surface fuels on about 10,000 acres, and reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and construction of about 4 miles of temporary roads. Decision notice announces implementation of Alternative 4 with minor modifications, reducing big game vulnerability by not treating the existing satisfactory wildlife cover.

    Wildcat fuels reduction and vegetation management project environmental assessment
    (2008-03) Heppner Ranger District (Or.)
    Proposes vegetation and fuels management on about 13,900 acres to improve the health, and vigor of the upland forest, and reduce the potential for future fires of uncharacteristic effects in upland forests through the reduction of hazardous fuels and reduction of ladder fuels. Vegetation management treatments include commercial thinning of about 2,218 acres, mechanical fuels treatment of 2,113 acres of standing dead and downed woody material and reduction of conifer regeneration resulting from the late 1980s and early 1990s spruce bud worm outbreak, noncommercial thinning of about 1,186 acres and treatment of surface fuels on about 10,288 acres. Maintenance of existing roads (39 miles of open and 41 miles closed), construction of a new system road for 2.2 miles, obliteration of 2.4 miles, and construction of about 3.6 miles of temporary road would be required for access and haul purposes.
