Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.) (September , 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: Proposes to thin area of over 2,900 acres of dense, even-aged, uniform, single-story, 35- to 60-year old plantations. This alternative is expected to yield approximately 40 million board feet of timber sawlogs to meet the purpose and need of maintaining the growth and health of the stands and producing a sustainable, commercial yield of wood products. The alternative uses a combination of ground-based, skyline and helicopter log-yarding systems with an emphasis on minimizing residual damage and disturbance.

Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.) (July , 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: The McKenzie River Ranger District (MRRD) on the Willamette National Forest (WNF) proposes to treat competing vegetation occupying research plots on approximately 5416 m2 with glyphosate. This treatment may occur at a yearly frequency for the next 10 years. The purpose of the project is to effectively remove vegetation interfering with the objectives of the research proposals. This action is tiered to the Willamette National Forest Invasive Plant EA (2007) and to direction provided in the Pacific Northwest Region Invasive Plant Program, Preventing and Managing Invasive Plants Record of Decision (USDA Forest Service 2005a). The proposed action includes manual and/or herbicide treatment methods. Description: 51 pp. Maps, tables. The two sites under consideration are located at T15S, R7E, Section 10 (Bunchgrass Meadow) and at T15S R5E Sec 28 (H.J. Andrews). Captured March 25, 2009.

Willamette National Forest (Agency : U.S.) (November , 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: Proposes to authorize the following in a 20-year Special Use Permit: On the ONF-CRNG, MHNF, and WNF, a ROW that authorizes 1) continued operation and maintenance of the transmission line facilities; 2) routine vegetation management within the ROW; and 3) use and maintenance of service or access roads within the ROW. A special use authorization on the three National Forests that authorizes 1) management of danger trees outside the ROW; and 2) use and maintenance of transmission line service and access roads outside the ROW. Description: 86 pp. Tables, maps, figure, references, appendices. The Bethel-Round Butte transmission line is a single-circuit 230-kV line that runs from PGE's Round Butte Switchyard near Round Butte Dam in Central Oregon to PGE's Bethel Substation near Salem, Oregon, a distance of approximately 100 miles. Near the Round Butte Switchyard, the transmission line crosses approximately 0.3 mile (Table 1-1) of the Ochoco National Forest-Crooked River National Grassland before it spans the Deschutes River and proceeds northwest across the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (Figure 1-1). The transmission line crosses the crest of the Cascade Range near Olallie Butte and heads west across approximately 6.2 and 20.5 miles of the MHNF and WNF, respectively, before entering State Forest lands. Further west, the transmission line crosses BLM-administered lands and numerous private landholdings. The ONF-CRNG portion of the transmission line is located in Jefferson County; the MHNF and WNF portions are in Marion County. Captured March 24, 2009.

Middle Fork Ranger District (Or.) (April 16, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: Supplement, pursuant to an opinion and order from a 2003 lawsuit, discusses the application of management recommendations for survey and manage species found in the Straw Devil and East Devil timber sales area, located in the Salt Creek drainage. After surveying found 23 active and 13 inactive red tree vole nests, the recommended action is not to change the awarded timber sales, since the sites were discovered and validated after the contracts was awarded. A supplementary biological evaluation regarding the Canada lynx finds that although early analysis suggested lynx habitat within the Straw Devil planning area, application of subsequent habitat guidelines indicates that there is no lynx habitat.
