    North Fork Mill Creek restoration opportunities decision notice and finding of no significant impact
    (2008-12-19) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
    Proposed Action proposes to treat approximately 2,800 acres. The purpose of the treatments is to improve forest health conditions (removing root rot pockets, removing diseased trees) and reduce hazardous fuels (removal of surface fuels, removal of ladder fuels, and opening of the canopy). The mechanical fuels reduction treatment methods would consist of tree thinning from below, machine piling, hand thinning, pruning by hand, machine mastication, and manual brush removal. Underburning (prescribed fire) would be used in combination with mechanical treatments (954 acres) or without any additional treatments (610 acres) to restore stand health and to restore fire to its historical role.

    Precommercial thinning decision memo
    (2008-03) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
    Announces decision proposing to precommercially thin approximately 5,774 acres of young, overstocked plantations. Approximately 1,028 acres are within riparian reserves. Within the riparian reserves, cut trees would be hand piled as needed, to help provide interim down woody structure. Units adjacent to streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, seeps and springs would have a 30-foot "no cut" buffer from the high water level.
