the open system roads approximately 14
miles are outside of the project planning
area and represent haul routes to county
roads. Closed system roads used for
project activities would not be opened
to the public. All system roads would
remain the same after project
implementation; open roads would
remain opened, closed roads would
continue to be closed, and seasonally
open roads would continue with that
designation. Approximately 0.25 miles
of new road construction would occur
to access an activity unit and be used for
future access for vegetation and fuels
treatments. This new construction
would become a closed system road
after project use. Approximately 0.20
miles of temporary road construction
would occur and would be
decommissioned after project activity
use. Normal routine road maintenance
would occur.
Danger Tree Removal—Danger trees
would be felled and removed along all
previously described haul routes used
for timber sale activity. If considered
economically feasible, they would be
sold as part of a timber sale. Danger
trees within Riparian Habitat
Conservation Areas (RHCAs) would not
be removed; they would be cut and left
to provide additional coarse woody
debris.
Landscape Prescribed Fire—
Landscape prescribed fire would occur
across approximately 8,000 acres within
the Grande Ronde River canyon. No
timber harvest or mechanical fuel
treatments would occur in these
canyons. This treatment would
reintroduce fire to a fire-dependent
ecosystem blackening about 60 percent
of the area to lessen the impact of a
future uncharacteristic wildfire and
improve forage quality for big game. In
the majority of the project area, fire
intensities would be kept low by
keeping fire out of the overstory and
burning mainly surface fuels. This
activity would occur in almost all of the
acres of the Grande Ronde inventoried
roadless area (IRA) that are within the
project planning area.
Hardwood Restoration—Twenty-three
hardwood sites (aspen, black
cottonwood, and mountain mahogany)
totaling about 115 acres are proposed for
treatment that includes release from
conifers and fencing of these sites.
Reduction of conifer competition in
some aspen stands would be achieved
by girdling trees or cutting and leaving
the trees on site. Most of these stands
have only mature or over-mature
hardwood trees with little or no
regeneration, or regeneration that is
being severely browsed. Fencing would
occur at these 23 hardwood sites.

Meadow Restoration—An estimated
275 acres of dry meadows would be
treated to reduce conifer encroachment.
Trees less than or equal to 6 inches DBH
would be cut by hand followed by a
prescribed underburn through the grass.
Non-commercial Thinning—This
activity would cut excess trees that are
less than 6 inches DBH on
approximately 1,900 acres. Some units
may have special conditions where trees
up to 9 inches DBH would be cut. Either
manual or mechanical methods would
be use.
Forest Plan Amendment—In order to
manage aspen stands in the project
planning area, the Forest Plan would be
amended to reallocate acres in
management area allocations of D2–
Research Natural Area, E2–Timber and
Big Game, and A9–Special Interest Area.
Elk Flats Meadow (D2), which is
currently a proposed candidate for
designation as a Research Natural Area
(RNA), would be reallocated to
management area A9–Special Interest
Area in order to allow vegetation
management, including cutting of trees,
to maintain or enhance existing aspen
and encourage aspen regeneration. In
summary, approximately 70 acres of
management area D2 (Elk Flats
Meadow) would become management
area A9; approximately 30 acres of
management area E2 would become
management area A9, and
approximately 10 acres of management
area D2 would become management
area E2. This amendment would remain
in effect until the current Forest Plan is
revised.
Possible Alternatives—An alternative
that would have fewer impacts on elk
cover and/or old forest habitat was
identified for this project. Commercial
harvest would occur on approximately
1,300 acres using the same silviculture
prescriptions and harvest methods. No
timber harvest would occur in old forest
stands or in areas of satisfactory cover.
All other activities would remain the
same but would occur on fewer acres.
Another alternative identified would be
to take no action at this time in the
project planning area.
Responsible Official
Kevin Martin, Forest Supervisor,
Umatilla National Forest, 2517 S.W.
Hailey Avenue, Pendleton, Oregon
97801.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The decision to be made is whether to
approve the proposed action or any
alternative way to achieve the desired
outcome. A Forest Plan amendment is
proposed.

Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
development of an EIS for the Cobbler
II project and seeks any additional
scoping comments not previously
submitted. The comment period begins
on the date of publication of this notice
of intent and ends on February 26, 2010.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such a manner that they are useful to
the agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
comments. The submission of timely
and specific comments can affect a
reviewer’s ability to participate in
subsequent administrative appeal or
judicial review.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment will be
part of the public record for this
proposed action. Comments submitted
anonymously will be accepted and
considered; however, anonymous
comments will not provide the
respondent with standing to participate
in subsequent administrative appeal or
judicial review.
Dated: February 1, 2010.
