Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service will prepare
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) for the Big Thorne Project located
on Prince of Wales Island, part of the
Thorne Bay Ranger District of the
Tongass National Forest. This proposal
is the multi-year timber sale component
of a larger stewardship effort that will
include opportunities such as
restoration and enhancement activities
that will be identified through other
environmental analyses. The overall
effort will be implemented through the
use of various contracting authorities
available to the Forest Service,
including timber sale, service, and
stewardship contracts, by combining
some of the timber harvest activities of
this project with restoration and
enhancement activities to be analyzed
separately. This EIS will consider the
cumulative effects of the timber harvest
activities and reasonably foreseeable
stewardship activities in the area.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by
March 14, 2011. The draft
environmental impact statement is
expected in August 2011 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected in February 2012.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:
