Item Open Access Kincaide's lupine habitat restoration project decision memo(2008-09) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)The proposed action is to reduce conifer encroachment by commercial thinning on approximately 3 acres. No trees over 20" DBH will be cut. Trees up to 20 inches in diameter would be removed to create an opening dominated by California black oak and only a few conifers. The primary prescription is to retain 10-12 dominant conifers with crown ratios greater than 40%. Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine are the preferred species. In all thinning areas California black oaks, Oregon white oaks, and Pacific madrone will be left standing. The treatments would occur alongside the existing Kincaid's lupine population, but would not disturb this area.Item Open Access Tallow salvage sale final decision memo(2008-10) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes a total of about 219.1 acres for harvest within lands allocated to the Matrix under the Northwest Forest Plan to remove an estimated 3.2 MMBF (million board feet) of wind-thrown trees using a variety of logging systems. Also includes fuel treatments, replanting, sub-soiling, and revegetation of exposed soils.Item Open Access 1610 Roadside treatment project final decision memo(2009-03-16) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Announces decision implementing roadside treatments by thinning, pruning, piling or chipping slash along the major roads (Forest Road 1610, 1610-050, 1610-100, 1610-500) within the lower Devil's Knob portion of the Elk Creek watershed. Trees and brush would be removed to bring the resulting condition to a Fuel Model 8 (an open stand with limited ground fuel) with low to moderate fuel loading resulting in healthier growing conditions for the stands. Treatment will occur alongside existing specified roads (generally 150' each side of road).Item Open Access Curtis timber sale decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2008-09-09) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Announces decision choosing Alternative 4 of project EA, initiating commercial thinning of about 1,508 acres of managed and natural stands (second growth) using ground-based or skyline logging systems in the Matrix land allocation generating approximately 12.7 million board feet of timber. Thinned acres will include about 825 acres of off-site ponderosa pine harvesting or girdling to remove non-localized conifers and to restore to native plant communities. Also includes treating activity created fuels on about 878 acres by underburning, grapple or excavator piling (with machines remaining on pre-designated skid trails), lopping and scattering, chipping, jackpot burning, or handpiling and burning, and construction and reconstruction of roads.Item Open Access Curtis timber sale project environmental assessment(2008-06) Umpqua National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes commercial thinning of about 1,508 acres of managed plantations and fire-regenerated second-growth using ground-based or skyline logging systems in the Matrix land allocation generating approximately 12.5 million board feet of timber. Thinned acres will include about 825 acres of off-site ponderosa pine to remove non-localized conifers and to restore to native plant communities. Also includes treating activity created fuels on about 878 acres by underburning, grapple or excavator piling (with machines remaining on pre-designated skid trails), lopping and scattering, chipping, jackpot burning, or handpiling and burning, and constructing and reconstructing roads.
