Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of this project is to
protect and restore naturallyfunctioning native ecosystems on the
MTNF by controlling current and future
threats of NNIP infestations. Control
means, as appropriate, eradicating,
suppressing, reducing, or managing
NNIP populations, preventing the
spread of NNIP, and taking steps such
as restoration of native species and
habitats to reduce the effects of invasive
species and to prevent further invasions
(Executive Order 13112 invasive
species). Resiliency, integrity, and
sustainability of a variety of ecosystems
on the MTNF could be compromised if
NNIP infestations continue to spread.
This proposal is needed because
existing populations of NNIP currently
occur on the MTNF and are degrading
natural communities. Inventoried and
new or unknown infestations continue
to spread unchecked. Past projects to
control invasive plants on the MTNF
have been authorized as small portions
of larger vegetation management
projects. Those limited actions have not
been able to keep pace with the extent
in which several NNIP species spread
and encroach into new areas. Species
such as garlic mustard, spotted
knapweed, and Sericea lespedeza are
too wide-spread and aggressive to
address individually or at a smaller
project level in order to be successful.
Proposed Action
The MTNF proposes to implement an
integrated program for the prevention,
eradication, suppression, and reduction
of existing and future NNIP infestations
on the forest. The integrated approach
considers the best available scientific
information, most current NNIP
inventories, and the effectiveness of
control methods designed to meet
desired treatment objectives to control
NNIP infestations on National Forest
System lands with the MTNF
boundaries. These control methods
would include various combinations of
manual, mechanical, chemical, cultural,
and biological treatments.
Cooperating Agencies
Missouri Department of Conservation
(MDC) is a cooperating agency with the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
MTNF, the lead agency, on this
proposal.
Responsible Official
The forest supervisor of the Mark
Twian National Forest is the responsible
official.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The forest supervisor will make a
decision on whether to implement the
Integrated NNIP strategy on National
Forest System land as proposed, an
alternative, or no action.
Preliminary Issues
The interdisciplinary team has
identified preliminary issues.
Unintended detrimental environmental
effects to non-target species could result
from the application of herbicide or
release of bio-agents. The application of
herbicide could result in an increase of
toxic chemicals in groundwater.
Scoping Process
Typically, this notice of intent
initiates the scoping process, which
guides the development of the
environmental impact statement.
Scoping for this project began in
November 2009 with a letter to the
public and posting of information to
MTNF world wide Web site. Four
comment letters were received in
response to that solicitation. Those
comments will be incorporated into the
analysis for this EIS.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such 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
contentions.
