The project would involve approximately 7,230 acres of forest
management treatments and integrated design elements. Proposed treatment and harvest
operations would include: harvest activities (commercial thinning, precommercial thinning,
biomass utilization), fuel treatment (prescribed burning, hand-piling, machine slash treatments,
whole tree yarding), and aspen restoration (release with lop and scatter, commercial thin, or
caging). Transportation system activities include use of temporary roads, road maintenance, road
closures, and road decommissioning. Integrated project design elements provide for protection
of cultural or historical sites, soil, water, fish, wildlife, range, native plants and trees, scenery,
and recreation resources.
