Abstract:
Determines no environmental impact statement is needed for project initiating a broad range of watershed restoration actions grouped into riparian projects, stream restoration projects, and road and culvert projects. Includes pre-commercial thinning, girdling to create small snags and coarse down wood, conversion of older dominated stands to stands composed of a mixture of conifers and longer-lived hardwood species, placement of log structures and boulders, tree-lining to stabilize stream banks, replacement of stream-crossing culverts, and road improvements and closures.
