    DB Cooper fuel reduction demonstration project decision memo
    (2008-04) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)
    The fuels reduction treatment would include removing smaller diameter trees and reducing the overlap of overstory trees to 45 percent canopy cover; reducing ladder fuels to lower the probability of torching and crowning; and either piling and burning or mechanically treating fuels with methods such as slash busting or grinding. A second entry of pile burning would reduce the fuel loadings to approximately 10 tons per acre and reduce the fire hazard to a moderate/low category.

    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.
