Abstract
EA proposes to reduce fuels in seven areas that cover approximately 4301 acres using prescribed fire (3000 acres), handcutting, piling and burning of fuels (53 acres), and timber harvest (220 acres). Timber harvest would also be used on another 2678 acres to increase stand vigor and resiliences, removing about 16 MBF. Also includes 60 miles of road maintenance and two miles of temporary roads. Decision notice announces implementation of project EA Alternative B, using a combination of timber harvest and fuel reduction activities.
