Includes maintenance and reconstruction of existing roads and possible construction of temporary roads, fuel treatments, and funding for various wildlife habitat enhancements.Item Open Access Hehe LSR thin project environmental assessment(2007-06) Middle Fork Ranger District (Or.)Proposes commercial thinning on about 3800 acres of older plantations (35-60 years-old) located in the Hehe Creek subwatershed of the Fall Creek Late-successional Reserve. Includes maintenance and reconstruction of various wildlife habitat enhancements.Item Open Access Niner project decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2007-01-19) Middle Fork Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement a modified Alternative A of the project EA, while deferring decision on units #15, 15A, 15C, and 16, the four units in stands which are greater than 80 years old. About 3223 acres of 60-79 year-old stands yielding 50 MMBF will be thinned, using a combination of log yarding systems with an emphasis towards low cost ground-based yarding systems.Item Open Access Niner project decision notice and finding of no significant impact for Units 15, 15A, 15C, and 16(2008-03-28) Middle Fork Ranger District (Or.)Announces decision to implement commercial thinning of Units #15, 15A, 15C, and 16 of Alternative A of the project EA, which was deferred in the previous decision notice owing to ongoing litigation involving survey requirements and management of rare and uncommon species on federal lands.

Other activities include maintaining existing roads, constructing temporary roads to access units, improving water quality, make fuels reduction treatments, and begin rehabilitation and mitigation of compacted soils by soil tillage or sub-soiling treatments.Item Open Access Traverse Creek thin project environmental assessment(2008-09) Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes to thin area of over 2,900 acres of dense, even-aged, uniform, single-story, 35- to 60-year old plantations. This alternative is expected to yield approximately 40 million board feet of timber sawlogs to meet the purpose and need of maintaining the growth and health of the stands and producing a sustainable, commercial yield of wood products. The alternative uses a combination of ground-based, skyline and helicopter log-yarding systems with an emphasis on minimizing residual damage and disturbance.
