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.

Cold Springs late successional reserve enhancement environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2008-02-19) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes two projects within the Luckiamute River Watershed. Project 1 (Density Management) is a proposal to enhance conditions for the development of late seral forest habitat on approximately 175 acres of early to mid seral forest land. Project 2 (Snag/Coarse Woody Debris Creation) is a proposal to create snags/coarse woody debris for terrestrial and botanical habitat improvement on approximately 7 acres of mid seral forest land. The actions would occur within Late-Successional Reserve (LSR) and Riparian Reserve (RR) Land Use Allocations (LUAs) within the North Coast Adaptive Management Area.

Condenser Peak late successional reserve enhancement environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2007-07-18) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes three projects on land within the Mill Creek-South Yamhill River; Upper South Yamhill River; and Upper Siletz River Watersheds. Project 1 (Density Management) is a proposal to enhance the development of late seral forest habitat on approximately 273 acres of early to mid-seral forest land. Project 2 (Meadow Restoration) is a proposal to restore four small meadows by felling selected conifers. Project 3 (Coarse Woody Debris/Snag Creation) is a proposal to create down wood and snags on approximately 172 acres adjacent to the proposed density management area for terrestrial habitat improvement. The actions would occur within Late-Successional Reserve (LSR) and Riparian Reserve (RR) Land Use Allocations (LUA) within the North Coast Adaptive Management Area. FONSI finds no environmental impact statement is needed.

Condenser Peak LSR enhancement project 1 final decision and decision rationale
(2008-06) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Announces decision to implement proposed action to cut and remove a portion of trees on approximately 275 acres of 50 to 54 year old stands within Late Successional Reserve (LSR) and Riparian Reserve (RR) Land Use Allocations (LUAs). Includes construction of 3800 feet of new road.

Condenser Peak LSR enhancement projects 2 and 3 final decision and decision rationale
(2008-05) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Announces decision to implement two proposed projects. Project 2 will restore four small mesic meadows. It would cut or girdle most conifers in 4 meadows, and would thin conifers within approximately 100 feet of the meadow edges. Meadows vary in size from 1/2 acre to 2 1/2 acres. A minimum of 100 square feet of basal area would be maintained in thinned areas around the meadows and trees felled or girdled would be suppressed, intermediates and codominants, leaving the largest trees standing. Project 3 will enhance habitat for wildlife species that are associated with late-seral forest habitats and CWD by creating CWD and snags in areas adjacent to Project 1. Trees would also be felled into area streams to enhance stream structure. The proposed treatment area is approximately 172 acres.

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.
