The Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact statement on a proposal to harvest 30-40 million board feet of both merchantable and unmerchantable wood products from approximately 8,000 acres of National Forest System lands on the east side of Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Dead and dying trees would be cut, and a green tree thinning component is also proposed to improve forest health. Jeffrey pine beetle suppression comprises part of the project. The proposed action also uses prescribed fire and analyzes post sale treatments, including watershed improvement projects.
