Hull Oakes Lumber Co. amendment to right-of-way agreement S-601 environmental assessment, finding of no significant impact, and decision record
(2007-12-10) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Previously, Hull-Oakes Lumber Company accessed their lands via a bridge across the South Fork Alsea River. The bridge has since been removed and rather than construct a new bridge for such limited use, Hull-Oakes Lumber Company is requesting permanent access on approximately 1.6 miles of the existing BLM controlled Road #14-8-12.1. The SE 1/4 NE 1/4 of Section 11, Township 14 South, Range 8 West., was added to R.W.A. S-601 by Amendment #6. Additional segments of Road #14-8-12.1 which do not lie within those lands will need to be added by subsequent amendment to complete the access needs. This amendment will include only the lands lying within the road prism, so that no additional road related rights or privileges will be granted by this action and will remain discretionary. The addition of these segments of road will allow Hull-Oakes Lumber Company access between the Deadwood Highway and their lands in the adjacent Section 12.

K-Line late successional reserve enhancement environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2006-03-02) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes conducting density management on approximately 304 acres of 40 to 50 year old stands within LSR and RR LUAs. This project would occur through a timber sale (K-Line LSR Enhancement). Approximately 304 acres would be thinned to a variable density (basal area ranging from 80 to 120 sq. ft/acre). Approximately 5% of the treatment area would have gaps (approximately 15, one acre patch cuts) created and approximately 2% of the treatment area would have clumps (approximately 1/4 acre untreated areas) created. The intent of the proposed action is to create stand structural diversity and to produce a timber sale to be offered in fiscal year 2007. Trees would be skyline yarded on approximately 83 acres and ground based yarded on approximately 221 acres. New road construction, reconstruction, road renovation and road decommissioning of new and reconstructed roads over which timber hauling would occur are also a part of the proposed action. FONSI finds no need for environmental impact statement.
