SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Purpose and Need for Action
The overall purpose of the Grub Hoe
Project is to implement land
management activities consistent with
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the direction in the 2004 ChequamegonNicolet National Forest Land and
Resource Management Plan (Forest
Plan). One purpose for this proposal is
to maintain or restore upland forest
communities and opening to their
desired conditions as described in
Chapter 3 of the Forest Plan; a second
purpose is to provide an efficient road
system. Based on the Forest Plan
desired future conditions for the area,
the following nine needs were
identified: (1) Increase the diversity of
northern hardwood forest structure and
composition; (2) reduce fragmentation
in larger patches of northern hardwood
forest; improve aquatic ecosystems; (4)
improve upland forest type
composition; (5) improve the aspen age
class distribution; (6) promote healthy
forests; (7) improve habitat for earlysuccessional forest dependent wildlife
species; (8) contribute toward satisfying
the demand for wood products; (9)
provide a safe, efficient, and effective
transportation system.
Proposed Action
In order to address the needs
identified above, approximately 3326
acres of various forest types would be
harvested using selection, removal,
shelterwood, patch clearcut, clearcut,
and thin harvest methods. As a result of
clearcutting three contiguous aspen
stands, this alternative would result in
a temporary opening of approximately
73 acres. This deviates from a Forest
Plan guideline to limit temporary
openings to 40 acres.
The second purpose for this proposal
is to provide an efficient road system
that meets the long-term transportation
needs of the Forest. In order to address
need 9 above, approximately 20.8 miles
of unclassified roads would be
decommissioned; 3.9 miles would be
reconstructed and classified; and 1.4
miles of new road would be constructed
but closed after project activities are
completed.
Possible Alternatives
Two alternatives to the Proposed
Action have been developed in response
to public comments received. One
alternative would result in the following
changes to the Proposed Action:
Eliminate aspen conversions to other
forest types in all but three stands,
clearcutting and regenerating them to
aspen instead; clearcut and regenerate
the two stands identified for patch
