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. pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES Proposed Action The Cedar-Thom project area of approximately 58,000 acres is located southwest of Superior, Montana within TI5N, R27W; TI5N, R28W; TI6N, R27W; TI6N, R28W; TI7N, R26W; T 1 7N, R27W, P.M.M. Within this area, the Lolo National Forest proposes the following activities to achieve the purpose and need for the project: (1) Timber harvest 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 17:09 Aug 06, 2009 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.
