West Fork Squaw Timber Sale; Clearwater National Forest, Idaho County, ID

概要

The Forest Service will analyze and disclose the environmental impacts of a proposal to harvest timber, regenerate harvested timber stands, rehabilitate existing sediment sources, reconstruct existing roads, and construct new roads in a portion of the West Fork Squaw Creek and Spring Creek drainages on the Powell Ranger District. An environmental impact statement (EIS) will be prepared which will document the analysis. This EIS will tier to the Clearwater National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan Final EIS of September 1987, which provides overall guidance in achieving the desired condition for the area. The primary purpose and need of the proposed action is to implement land management direction for the West Fork Squaw Creek and Spring Creek drainages. The goal is to develop a viable timber sale proposal that is compatible with current resource management objectives.
