(2009-03-16) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
Announces decision implementing roadside treatments by thinning, pruning, piling or chipping slash along the major roads (Forest Road 1610, 1610-050, 1610-100, 1610-500) within the lower Devil's Knob portion of the Elk Creek watershed. Trees and brush would be removed to bring the resulting condition to a Fuel Model 8 (an open stand with limited ground fuel) with low to moderate fuel loading resulting in healthier growing conditions for the stands. Treatment will occur alongside existing specified roads (generally 150' each side of road).
