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.
