Ag47 projects environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2004-08) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Proposes three projects. Project 1, the Ag47 timber sale, is a proposal to commercially thin approximately 432 acres. Project 2, Riparian Treatment without wood removal in the sections containing units of the Ag47 timber sale, is a proposal to create snags, CWD, wolf trees and small openings in Riparian Reserves with several small scale projects to enhance wildlife habitat. Project 3, Thomas Creek LSR Enhancement, is a proposal to improve habitat conditions by density management thinning (with wood removal) on approximately 67 acres of 40-50 year old plantations in Late Successional Reserve. Project 3 would also include other small scale treatment projects, without wood removal, adjacent to the stands proposed for thinning. FONSI finds no environmental impact statement is needed.

Evan's Slide stabilization environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2008-06) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes to initiate a number of related actions to reduce erosion and help reestablish channel stability in an unnamed tributary channel (tributary) of Evans Creek, located just west of the Evans Mountain Road (road # 8-4e-32). These actions would be employed over a period of a decade in order to assess the effectiveness of various erosion control techniques and interventions for achieving desired future conditions. Actions taken would include: placing trees, with root wads attached, into the tributary stream channel from the mouth to the headwaters. Sediment and colluvium in the headwaters of this channel and the surface of a rotational slump adjacent to the tributary will be stabilized by the addition of wood straw and a weed-free seed mix. Finally, large woody debris (LWD) will be placed into the Evans Creek main channel to function as fish habitat enhancement and to help retain and store sediment in transit through the channel. FONSI finds no environmental impact statement is needed.

Marmot Road/West Creek culvert replacement environmental assessment, finding of no significant impact, and decision record
(2007-05) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes action to remove the perched 42 inch culvert and replace it with a structure that will allow upstream movement of fish and reduce the erosive energy of the stream. The culvert would be removed and replaced with a bridge that will link the road on either side of the creek. The existing fill over the culvert would be removed with a tracked excavator, and then the culvert would be removed. Additional excavation would be required prior to installation of the bridge footings. Backfill would be placed behind the bridge footings and the precast bridge would be installed. FONSI finds no environmental impact statement is needed.

McFall/Potter Creek density management and aquatic habitat restoration environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2007-11-20) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Project 1, McFall Creek Density Management, is a proposal to perform density management on approximately 317 acres of 72 to 79-year-old stands within AMA (Adaptive Management Area) and RR (Riparian Reserve) LUAs (Land Use Allocations). Approximately 224 acres of Project 1 are part of the DMS [The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Western Oregon Density Management and Riparian Buffer Study] conducted in coordination with OSU (Oregon State University) College of Forestry and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Forest Service PNW (Pacific Northwest Research Station). The remaining approximately 93 acres proposed for density management are not within the DMS. Project 2, Potter Creek Density Management, is a proposal to perform density management on approximately 170 acres of 66 to 70-year-old stands within AMA and RR LUAs. Project 3, Aquatic Habitat Enhancement, is a proposal to fell logs in Potter and McSherry Creeks within RR.

(2008-02) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Announces decision implementing proposal to conduct three different projects in the Middle and Upper Tualatin River subwatersheds on federal lands in the Adaptive Management Area, Late Successional Reserve and Riparian Reserve land use allocations. The first project is a commercial density management thinning of approximately 906 acres that would also build about 4.0 miles of new temporary roads, renovate about 5.6 miles of existing roads and decommission about 6.6 miles of existing roads. The second project is a fish habitat restoration project in Roaring Creek that would use large wood to increase channel complexity in 1.1 miles of stream and also decommission approximately 1.4 miles of existing road. The third project is a wildlife habitat enhancement treatment on approximately 323 acres.

Upper and Lower Alsea River Watershed Fish Passage Restoration is a proposal to restore fish passage to approximately three miles of anadromous and resident fish habitat. The project would replace six stream crossing culverts that currently block fish passage with six culverts that would allow fish passage. The project would also remove a portion of a trash rack that also blocks fish passage.

Wooden Lobster restoration project environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2007-02-06) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
The proposed action would place conifer trees in the channels of Lobster Creek, Little Lobster Creek, and Briar Creek to provide a base for meeting the standard of "80 pieces/mile of large woody debris, greater than 24 inch minimum diameter and greater than 50 feet in length" as identified in the Lobster/Five Rivers Watershed Analysis (p.31, January 1997). In addition, the proposed project would meet or exceed desirable large woody debris stocking levels as outlined by ODFW aquatic habitat inventory benchmark criteria (Foster et al 2001). Approximately 114 trees in the adjacent late and mid-seral timber stands would be felled and placed in the channels by helicopter.
