This EIS will tier to the Lolo National Forest Plan Final EIS (April 1986). DATES: Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received by 30 days from date of publication of this mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:21 Jul 20, 2012 Jkt 226001 The Center Horse Landscape Restoration project area of approximately 61,300 acres is located east of Seeley Lake, Montana within T16N, R11W; T16N, R12W; T16N, R13W; T16N, R14W; T17N, R12W; T17N, R13W, T17N, R14W, 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 and prescribed burning on approximately 5000 acres; (2) Commercial/noncommercial mechanical vegetation treatments and prescribed burning on about 1500 acres; (3) Precommercial thinning and prescribed burning on about 1325 acres; (4) Ecosystem maintenance burning preceded by hand slashing on approximately 8650 acres; (5) whitebark pine restoration on about 70 acres; (6) temporary road construction (about 5 miles); (7) re-route 5 road segments to improve fish habitat; (8) add existing roads to system (about 23.5 miles), add existing roads to system and store (about 8 miles), construct PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 system road for re-route (about 2.5 miles), convert road to trail (about 10 miles), road decommissioning (about 160 miles), reconstruct road and add to system for alternate route (about 2.5 miles), reconstruct system road for alternate route (about 0.5 miles), store existing system road (about 7 miles), and change travel management (about 0.5 miles); (9) development and rehabilitation work at two existing gravel pits; (10) culvert replacements/ removals; (11) evaluate 40 miles of user created non-system trails for inclusion into trail system inventory; (12) weed treatment, (13) soil resource improvement projects including weed treatment, landing and skid trail rehabilitation, and shrub and tree planting. 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 2015 and would continue for several years. Responsible Official Lolo National Forest Supervisor. Nature of Decision To Be Made The Forest Supervisor will decide whether to implement the proposed action, take an alternative action that meets the purpose and need, or take no action. A site-specific amendment to the Lolo National Forest Plan is not anticipated. Preliminary Issues Preliminray issues include: (1) A significant portion of this analysis area is in the Bear-Marshall-Scapegoat-Swan Inventoried Roadless Area. While only noncommercial treatments ((i.e., ecosystem maintenance burning with incidental slashing (about 5,220 acres) and road decommissioning (about 3.2 miles)) are proposed in this IRA. Treatments in IRAs can be controversial; (2) Proposed activities could affect wildlife and wildlife habitat. Portions of the analysis area are within Lynx Analysis Units and the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem Grizzly Bear Recovery Area; and, (3) The analysis area includes new acquisitions which need considerable restoration, particularly in terms of current numbers of roads, amount of invasive species, and altered forest conditions. They also present challenges due to limited availability of survey and inventory data and possible access limitations. Permits or Licenses Required Montana Stream Preservation Action—124 permit for instream work. E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1
