Purpose and Need for Action
The Lolo National Forest Plan, 1986,
provides overall guidance for land
management activities in the project
area. The purposes of the Cedar-Thom
project are to: (1) Restore vegetative
conditions that are resistant to
undesirable effects of fire, insects,
disease, and drought; (2) Reduce forest
fuels in wildland urban interface (WUI)
and non-WUI areas and re-establish fire
as a disturbance process on the
landscape; (3) Improve or maintain big
game winter range; (4) Enhance
watershed health with improvements to
fish habitat and stream function; and (5)
Enhance recreation opportunities and
establish trail travel management
designations consistent with land
management objectives.

TI6N, R28W; TI7N, R26W; T 1 7N,

on approximately 6758 acres; (2) noncommercial mechanical vegetation
treatments on about 2290 acres; (3)
Prescribed burning on approximately
9550 acres; (4) temporary road
construction (5 miles) and long-term
specified road construction (6 miles); (5)
Road decommissioning (116 miles),
road storage (9 miles), and gate closure
(6 miles); (6) Culvert replacements; (7)
Restoration of selected stream segments;
(8) Riparian vegetation planting; (9)
Removal of a 500-foot segment of
historic railroad grade that infringes on
Cedar Creek; (10) Roadside weed
spraying; (11) Development of an 8-mile
ATV trail using primarily existing road
prisms; (12) Construction of an
equestrian trailhead for the Thompson
Creek trail (#173); (13) Construction of
a non-motorized trail from Mink Peak to
Lost Lake; and (14) Change the travel
management status on trails that are
currently designated as both motorized
and non-motorized to non-motorized
only.
If, after the completion of the
environmental analysis and review of
public comments the Responsible
Official decides to select an action
alternative, implementation could begin
in 2012 and would continue for several
years.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Forest Supervisor will decide
whether to implement the proposed
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
action, take an alternative action that
meets the purpose and need, or take no
action. The decision may include a sitespecific amendment to the Lolo
National Forest Plan to allow
approximately 215 acres of fuel
reduction treatments that would include
the removal of commercial-sized trees
within Management Area 11, in which
the Forest Plan limits tree cutting to that
required to eliminate safety hazards or
permit trail construction.
The
meeting is open to the public. Public
input sessions will be provided and
individuals will have the opportunity to
address the Trinity County Resource
Advisory Committee.
