    School fire salvage recovery project draft supplemental environmental impact statement
    (2007-02) Pomeroy Ranger District (Or. and Wash.)
    Supplement was issued in response to 9th Court of Appeals decision of February 12, 2007, finding the Project inconsistent with the Forest Plan by inappropriately implementing the "prohibition on logging of any 'live tree' less than or equal to 21 inches diameter at breast height that currently exists in the sales areas -- i.e., any tree of the requisite size that is not yet dead." The Court went on to conclude that the agency could not harvest "dying" trees because they were not dead. Alternative B proposes to amend the Plan to include definitions of "live" and "dead" trees.
