Æ Streams containing anadromous
fish habitat would not be used prior to
July 15th; off-source water including
water brought in by truck would be used
prior to July 15th.
Æ Drafting for water would not occur
in streams that are occupied by
steelhead.
• Twenty-five water developments
would be reconstructed and associated
springs would be protected as needed.
• Two water developments would be
removed and their sites restored to a
natural state.
• Existing aspen stands identified in
the field would be protected and
enhanced through conifer thinning and
utilization of thinned materials,
prescribed fire, and mechanical
treatment. Exclosures may be used
when thinning and placement of
thinned materials to protect aspens
stands is not found to provide adequate
protection.
• Juniper up to 12″ diameter would
be mechanically thinned and/or thinned
by prescribed fire.
• An approximately 2-acre aspen
stand would be enhanced and protected
through conifer thinning and utilization
of thinned materials, prescribed fire and
mechanical treatment. Exclosures may
be used when thinning and placement
of thinned materials to protect aspens
stands is not found to provide adequate
protection.
• Bedding/camping areas would be
monitored for known Taeniatherum
caput-medusae (medusahead)
populations. Trailing routes onto the
allotment would be identified for listed
non-native invasive plants.
• Riparian restoration activities
would take place where necessary on
4.5 miles of Little McKay Creek and
tributaries; activities would include instream placement of wood and/or rock
structures, filling and connecting
floodplains, planting hardwoods, and
creating physical barriers (such as
wood, rock or fences) to protect
hardwoods and improve bank stability,
conifer thinning to improve RHCA stand
conditions and utilization of thinning
materials for in-stream placement and
improved bank stability. Wood and
physical barrier material may come from
on-site.
• An alternative grazing plan would
be included to have two total grazing
plans that can be alternated.
Possible Alternatives
In addition to the Proposed Action
and any alternative that is developed
following this scoping effort, the project
interdisciplinary team will analyze the
effects of:

• No Action alternative: No grazing
permits would be reauthorized; cattle
would be removed from all allotments
within two years.
• Current management alternative:
Permits would be reauthorized at
current levels; there would be no new
water developments, no riparian
restoration, and there would be no
requirement for permittees to move
livestock out of sensitive areas, except
as required by current permits.

Responsible Official
ACTION:
The responsible official will be
District Ranger, Lookout Mountain
Ranger District, Ochoco National Forest,
3160 NE Third Street, Prineville, Oregon
97754.
SUMMARY:
11393
Nature of Decision To Be Made
Given the purpose and need, the
deciding official will review the
proposed action, the other alternatives,
and the environmental consequences in
order to make the following decisions:
• Whether and under what
circumstances grazing will be
reauthorized in the Bear Creek, Elkhorn,
Snowshoe, and Trout Creek allotments.
• Whether and under what
circumstances range improvements will
be constructed.
• Whether and under what
circumstances riparian restoration
activities will be implemented.
Preliminary Issues
Preliminary issues identified include
the potential effect of the proposed
action on livestock grazing, heritage
resources, fisheries, water quality,
sensitive plants, and on the introduction
and/or spread of invasive plants, as well
as the cumulative effects of the
proposed action where the effects of
associated activities overlap with the
effects of other management activities.
Scoping Process
Public comments about this proposal
are requested in order to assist in
identifying issues, determining how to
best manage the resources, and focusing
the analysis. Comments received to this
notice, 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 Agency
with the ability to provide the
respondent with subsequent
environmental documents.
