    (2008-06-09) Pomeroy Ranger District (Or. and Wash.)
    Announces implementation of project to non-commercially thin 2500 acres over 5 years in 12 areas to reduce tree stocking levels to increase growth and vigor of desirable trees in a stand, decrease density-dependent mortality, increase diameter growth rates, increase length of crown retained by trees, increase resistance to insect and disease attack, and to reduce ladder fuels. Also finds that treatment will not threaten sensitive plant and terrestrial wildlife or habitat.

    Upper Charley Subwatershed ecosystem restoration projects
    (2000-04) Pomeroy Ranger District (Or. and Wash.)
    Documents include draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) summary, response to comments, the abstract of the final environmental impact statement, an errata page with changes to the DEIS (all of which constitute the FEIS), and a record of decision with appendices. DEIS responds to past fire suppression, selective harvest, and recent drought conditions that have contributed to the degradation of forest ecosystem sustainability in the watershed by proposing long-term vegetation management, wildlife improvements, and maintenance or improvements to the sustainability of fish habitat. Includes reduction of tree stocking densities and reestablishment of vegetation composition to those of 100 years ago, reduction of fuel accumulations, and reduction of overload sediment flow with closure of some roads and reduction of overall road density. Record of decision announces implementation of Alternative B of DEIS, with modifications to protect the Canada lynx and to avoid, minimize, or otherwise offset any potential adverse effects to channel stability.
