Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The USDA Forest Service will
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS9) to document the
analysis and disclose environmental
impacts of proposed actions needed to
continue long-term research on the
Fernow Experimental Forest. To
continue long-term research on the
Fernow Experimental Forest, the USDA
Forest Service proposes to harvest
timber, use prescribed fire, and apply
fertilizer to specific areas of the
experimental forest. Also, to maintain
the integrity of the experimental forest
for long-term research we will continue
the following management activities:
Applying gravel to road surfaces as
needed; replacing culverts on skid roads
and haul roads as needed; maintaining
water bars on skid roads; maintaining
ditches and culverts; seeding decks and
landings; using herbicides to control the
spread of Japanese stiltgrass and other
invasive species such as tree-of-heaven
as needed; removing hazard trees from
along the roads; and maintaining
openings used for weather stations. The
purpose of the research is to evaluate
the effectiveness of silvicultural tools on
central Appalachian forests, to better
understand ecological dynamics within
these forest ecosystems, and to develop
management tools, practices, and
guidelines for central Appalachian
forests.
The 4,700-acre Fernow Experimental
Forest is situated with the boundary of
eth Monongahela National Forest in
Tucker County, West Virginia and is
managed by the Northern Research
Station of eth USDA Forest Service.
These proposed research activities are
in compliance with the 2006 revised in
2011 Monongahela National Forest Plan,
which provides overall guidance for
management of the area, including
direction for management of the Fernow
Experimental Forest.

environmental impact statement is
expected September 2015 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected November 2015.

Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the proposed actions
is to continue ongoing research studies
on the FEF and to maintain the integrity
of the FEF for long-term research. The
need for these specific proposed actions
is found in the various study plans that
set up the harvest methods and timing
for harvests. Some studies include
experiments that were designed to last
80 years or more. These data represent
some of the most complete, continuous
long-term records on ecosystem
processes in the world. We want to
continue these experiments as designed,
and continue to gather information
about the effects of various silvicultural
practices on forest ecosystems in the
central Appalachians. We will use these
data to provide information on basic
ecosystem processes in unmanaged and
managed forests, on species diversity of
plants and animals, and on other
ecological parameters. Research results
from the FEF are used to guide
management on private and public
lands in the central Appalachian region.
The FEF has many partners and
collaborators who rely on the existing
studies as a framework for basic
research, and for innovative studies.
Therefore, it is important that we
manage the FEF to ensure availability
for collaborative research, and to ensure
safety for all visitors to the FEF.
Management activities include:
Applying gravel to road surfaces as
needed; replacing culverts on skid roads
and haul roads as needed; maintaining
water bars on skid roads; maintaining
