Abstract
The Little Wolf Quarry Expansion Project proposes to analyze the expansion of the main Little Wolf Quarry and to designate the site as a community rock pit. This quarry site is the only known source of high quality rock in this area of the coast range. The closest alternate source of suitable quality rock is approximately twelve miles away, four to five miles west of Sutherlin. Designation of the site as a Community Pit would reserve the mineral estate within the quarry limits to the federal government and would allow for multiple entries over the expected 25 year lifespan. This action is necessary to meet the current and future mineral material needs for the vicinity. The quarry site is in the Late-Successional Reserve land use area (LUA). The proposal includes the excavation of three acres of material along the southern and western edges of the existing quarry, along with the removal of overburden in this area and harvest of 36 MBF of mid-seral timber.
