Ranger District; Minnesota; Tracks
Project Environmental Impact
Statement
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, will prepare
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) for the Tracks Project. The
proposed activities would manage forest
vegetation composition, age class, and
spatial patterns. Proposed activities also
address the transportation system
associated with vegetation activities and
long-term Federal and non-federal
access needs.
The project area encompasses nearly
78,000 acres of National Forest System
land.
The proposed action would create
young forest through timber harvest;
improve stand structure and withinstand diversity with harvests such as
thinning; and restore stand conditions
without harvest. Managing the
minimum road system needed for longterm vegetation management would
involve adding and decommissioning
miles of road. The proposed project is
located on the Laurentian Ranger
District, Aurora, Minnesota.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by
August 31, 2009. The draft
environmental impact statement is
expected in late 2009 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected in spring 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Stephen J. Kuennen, Laurentian District
Ranger, Tracks Project, 318 Forestry
Road, Aurora, MN 55705. Send
electronic comments to commentseastern-superior-laurentian@fs.fed.us.
Comments may also be sent via
facsimile to (218) 229–8821.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such a way that they are useful to the
Agency’s preparation of the EIS.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions. The submission of timely
