Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 121 / Monday, June 23, 2008 / Notices
The BLM in Oregon will analyze the
use of up to 18 herbicide active
ingredients approved for use in the
national Vegetation Treatments Using
Herbicides on BLM Lands in 17 Western
States EIS and ROD completed by the
BLM in 2007. The purpose of the
Oregon EIS is to:
• Evaluate the effects of using up to
18 nationally approved herbicide active
ingredients for treatment of noxious
weeds; for treatment of invasive
vegetation and other weeds in
administrative sites, recreation sites,
and rights-of-way; for treatment of forest
pests and diseases; and to achieve noncommodity landscape health objectives.
• Incorporate the Risk Assessments,
Standard Operating Procedures, and
Mitigation Measures for herbicide
application outlined in the National
Programmatic EIS.
• Provide the necessary context and
analysis of environmental effects that
will enable each of the nine BLM
Districts in Oregon to prepare National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
analyses on site-specific projects and
treatments.
The EIS will not evaluate herbicide
use directed specifically at commodity
production such as livestock forage
production and timber production.
The National Programmatic EIS and
Environmental Report completed in
2007 for the 17 western states (https://
www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/
veg_eis.html ) provided a programmatic
analysis of the effects of using
herbicides for treating vegetation on
BLM lands in the western U.S.,
including Alaska. That EIS did not
specifically address which herbicides,
and in what quantities, would be used
in Oregon. The Oregon EIS will tier to
the National EIS. The Oregon EIS will,
however, identify which herbicides will
be available for use in Oregon and how
those herbicides will be used as part of
an integrated vegetation treatment
program and provide Oregon-specific
environmental effects of their use.
Subsequent project-specific NEPA
analyses will be conducted at the fieldoffice level before individual projects
are carried out.
The BLM has initially identified the
following issues for analysis in the
Oregon-wide programmatic EIS:
• Effects to fish and other non-target
aquatic organisms;
• Effects to water quality;
• Effects to wildlife and other nontarget terrestrial organisms;
• Public and worker health and
safety;
• Treatment-effectiveness; and,
• Cost-effectiveness.
