Resources/Noxious Weeds. The
supplement will also clarify the
discussion of planning areas. Additional

Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose and need remain the
same as was described in the FEIS. In
the FEIS, the purpose of and need for
the project has three elements: (1) To
implement fuel reduction in the
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and, as
part of the larger HFQLG fuel treatment
strategic network as called for by the
HFQLG Act (Section 401(b)(1) and
(d)(1)) and the HFQLG amendment to
the LRMP, to reduce the potential size
and intensity of wildfires and provide
fire suppression personnel safe
locations for taking action against
wildfires; (2) to implement group
selection and individual tree selection,
as directed in the HFQLG Act (Section
401(b)(1) and (d)(2)) and the HFQLG
amendment to the LRMP, to test the
effectiveness of an uneven-aged
silvicultural system in achieving an allaged, multistory, fire resilient forest,
providing an adequate timber supply
that contributes to the economic
stability of rural communities, and
improving and maintaining ecological
health of the forest; and (3) to reduce
impacts of the transportation system on
forest resources and provide the
necessary access for the fuel treatments
and the group and individual tree
selection harvests.
Proposed Action
The proposed action and all
alternatives will remain the same as
described in the FEIS. These
alternatives include varied levels of fuel
treatments, group selection timber
harvest, individual tree selection
harvest and transportation system
improvement.
