    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 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.

    Maxfield Creek density management upland habitat restoration final decision and decision rationale
    (2007-01) United States. Bureau of Land Management. Salem District
    Announces decision to implement project to release Oregon white oak trees and restore meadow and woodland habitat by conifer removal and girdling. Conifer trees 9" diameter breast height outside bark (DBHOB) or less will be felled and left on site. Their tops will be piled and burned or lopped and scattered. Also includes distribution of seeds or seedlings of native grass and forb species and control of non-native plants.

    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.
