Also includes planting 4,669 acres with conifer seedlings, and Forest Plan amendments related to modifications of East Side Screens to define live and dead trees, old growth replacement, visual quality standards, and development of long-range wildlife plans. Record of Decision announces implementation of Alternative 3 of the FEIS, to realize economic benefits from burned timber whilst still protecting the majority of the burned area from disturbance.
