Abstract
Announces decision implementing thinning in 152 acres of 50 to 60 year old mixed-conifer stands by removing suppressed and co-dominant and occasional dominant trees. The EA stated approximately 158 acres would be treated, however, since the completion of the EA, final boundary determinations have resulted in a reduction of 6 acres. Generally, the largest trees will be left. Average canopy closure will be no less than 40 percent after harvest. Approximately 36 percent of the project area will be harvested using ground-based logging equipment, and approximately 64 percent will be harvested using skyline yarding systems. Also includes road construction and renovation and fuels treatments.
