Abstract
Excludes from further environmental scrutiny proposed action salvaging approximately 5.5 acres of approximately 80-year-old timber that was blown down during winter storms in 2006 and 2007. The project area is in T.4N, R.2E, section 31, about five miles east of Scappoose, Oregon. The trees to be salvaged are located within a stand of timber that was commercially thinned in 2003 via the Pisgah Progeny timber sale. The project area contains about 50 dead and down Douglas fir, western hemlock and western red cedar trees. Approximately 30 trees would be harvested using ground-based equipment operating from approved skid trails and existing rocked roads. The remainder of the dead and down trees would be left on site for coarse woody debris.
