SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
project area is located in north central
Idaho, near the southern part of the
Idaho Panhandle in Idaho County, near
the small, isolated town of Elk City. The
Eastside Township Fuels and Vegetation
Project (Eastside) project is located in
the American River watershed, within
the larger upper South Fork Clearwater
River watershed. The project area,
which encompasses approximately
3,300 acres, borders the town of Elk City
and includes the surrounding wildland
urban interface (WUI) areas. Actual
BLM-administered lands to be treated
total approximately 1,300.
This is a landscape level project
developed to address the increasing fuel
load resulting from the combined effects
of long-term fire suppression and an
ongoing mountain pine beetle epidemic
in the Elk City area. The purpose of this
project is to manage the fuels and
vegetation conditions in the Elk City
WUI area. The project objectives are:
• Reduce the risk of high intensity
wildland fire to life, property and
natural resources in the Elk City area;
• Reduce the likelihood of severe
local fire effects by removing dead,
dying, and downed trees that would
otherwise result in high fuel loading;
• Manage forest stands to create
conditions that will contribute to
sustaining long-lived fire tolerant tree
species by regenerating to western larch,
Douglas-fir, and by retaining most
Douglas-fir, western larch, and
ponderosa pine;
• Create an upward trend in fish
habitat condition; and
• Contribute to the economic and
social well being of area users and local
residents.
The Eastside project proposes to
reduce existing and potential fuel loads
through a combination of vegetation
manipulation and fuels treatments
while supporting a long term upward
trend in fish habitat condition.
Vegetation manipulation includes
removing mainly dead and dying trees
and selectively harvesting other trees in
both lodgepole pine and mixed conifer
stands. Fuels treatments include
thinning, piling and burning, prescribed
burning, and biomass utilization.
The DEIS analyzes four alternatives,
including a no action alternative and the
agency preferred alternative, Alternative
B. These alternatives were developed
using issues identified during the
scoping process. Issues include
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

hazardous fuels, watershed, fisheries,
and road/trail access-transportation
system. The preferred alternative
proposes to treat approximately 1,300
acres requiring approximately 15.1
miles of temporary road construction.
Upon completion of the project,
including road decommissioning, there
would be no net change of road density
per square mile in the American River
watershed and a decrease of 2.12 miles
of permanent road in the project area.
The preferred alternative also
proposes watershed improvement
activities that would provide for an
upward trend in aquatic habitat and
water quality. These include riparian
planting along 4.8 miles of the
American River; decommissioning of
1.9 miles of existing road; constructing
0.57 miles of new permanent road along
the American River; improving stream
crossings (two ford closures, one ford
hardening, and two ATV bridge
replacements); reconnecting Queen
Creek with the American River;
converting 1.6 miles of road to ATV
trail; and recontouring 1.2 miles of
streambank along the American River.
The Nez Perce National Forest (NPNF)
is a cooperating agency that has specific
expertise or interest in the project. The
BLM proposes to use and construct
roads on the NPNF. The NPNF may
authorize the use and construction of
roads based on the analysis in this DEIS.
When submitting comments, your full
name and address should be included.
Comments, including names, street
addresses, and other contact
information of respondents, will be
available for public review. Individual
respondents may request
confidentiality. If you wish to request
that BLM consider withholding your
name, street address and other contact
information such as Internet address,
fax or phone number from public review
or from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. The BLM will honor requests
for confidentiality on a case-by-case
basis to the extent allowed by law. The
BLM will make available for public
inspection in their entirety all
submissions from organizations or
businesses and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses.
Copies of the DEIS will be sent to
affected Federal, Tribal, State and local
government agencies, and to interested
publics, and will be available at the
BLM Cottonwood Field Office. The
supporting record for the analysis for
