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.

Mainline II thinning project decision documentation and decision rationale
(2007-09) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Announces decision implementing thinning in 152 acres of 50 to 60 year old mixed-conifer stands by removing suppressed and co-dominant and occasional dominant trees. The EA stated approximately 158 acres would be treated, however, since the completion of the EA, final boundary determinations have resulted in a reduction of 6 acres. Generally, the largest trees will be left. Average canopy closure will be no less than 40 percent after harvest. Approximately 36 percent of the project area will be harvested using ground-based logging equipment, and approximately 64 percent will be harvested using skyline yarding systems. Also includes road construction and renovation and fuels treatments.

Maxfield Creek large woody debris placement on private land/meadow restoration environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2007-11-26) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
EA proposes that approximately 50 conifer trees scattered over 25 acres affecting meadow habitat or competing with oak trees that are greater than 24" DBHOB would be felled and utilized for in-stream aquatic habitat enhancement work. The project would include the placement of approximately 50 pieces of large woody debris (LWD) in Maxfield Creek using selected trees from upland treatment areas and transported to the stream via helicopter. Also includes reduction of the amount and continuity of surface fuels.

Programmatic timber salvage FY 2007/2008 Marys Peak resource area environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2007-10) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
Announces decision to implement project. On December 14, 2006, a severe storm brought unusually heavy rains and strong winds to the Oregon Coast Range and the Willamette Valley, causing trees to blow down in various locations within the Marys Peak RA (Resource Area). The project proposes to remove a portion of these trees to reduce the risk of population build-up in bark beetles, the resulting infestation of adjacent healthy trees, as well as reduce the likelihood of fire killing the remaining live trees by meeting a need to reduce high surface fuel loadings. The project would provide access to permittees, the public and for administrative purposes by removing trees that have fallen across roads. The project would also produce a sustainable supply of timber to provide jobs and economic stability, while reducing the potential removal of wood fiber due to firewood and/or timber theft and also improve feasibility for tree planting. The actions would occur within LSR (Late-Successional Reserve), RR (Riparian Reserve), Matrix and AMA (Adaptive Management Area) LUAs (Land Use Allocations).

South Fork Alsea access road hazard tree removal/Alsea Falls Park enhancement environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact
(2008-12-30) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
This environmental assessment (EA) discloses the predicted environmental effects of two projects on federal land located within the Upper Alsea River and Marys River Watersheds. Project 1 (Roadside Hazard Tree Removal/Roadside Enhancement) is a proposal to remove immediate and potentially future hazard trees and reduce fuel loadings and fire hazard risk adjacent to a backcountry byway [South Fork Alsea Access Road (Rd. # 146- 34.1)]. Project 2 (Park Enhancement) is a proposal to remove hazard trees, enhance stand health in addition to providing a visually appealing and safe park for visitors within the Alsea Falls Recreation Site.
