Abstract
Announces decision to authorize the implementation of the Proposed Action Alternative. The proposed commercial thinning and density management will occur on two units (approximately 200 acres) of 33 to 64 year-old second-growth forest located in the Elk Creek/Upper Umpqua Fifth-Field Watershed. Within these 200 acres, approximately 10 acres will be removed for the development of spur roads.
This project is within the General Forest Management Area (89 acres), Riparian Reserve (20 acres), and unmapped Late-Successional Reserve (LSR)(81 acres) Land Use Allocations and approximately 3.184 million board feet of timber will be available to support local and regional manufacturers and economies. In addition, approximately 0.2 acres will be removed for the development of spur roads on private, industrial forest lands.
Saddle Up To Paradise will provide approximately 3,184 MBF of merchantable timber available for auction. Approximately 1,679 MBF is within GFMA, 320 MBF is within Riparian Reserves, and 1,185 MBF is within the unmapped Late-Successional Reserve.
