Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES 26774 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 110 / Friday, June 9, 2017 / Notices would be followed by some form of prescribed fire (pile burning, underburn). Approximately seven miles of permanent, national forest system road (NFSR) and 27 miles of temporary road will be needed to support timber haul from the project area. The new system roads would be closed and the temporary roads would be rehabilitated after harvest. The Stoney Mountain IRA is adjacent to the project area. No road construction is proposed in the IRA, however, prescribed burning and some timber harvest may occur. A plan amendment to the Bitterroot National Forest Plan may be required to provide a project-specific variance for four standards. The 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219) requires notice of which substantive requirements of §§ 219.8 through 219.11 are likely to be related to the amendment. Suspension of the coarse woody debris amendment is likely related to the requirements for soils and soil productivity at § 219.8(a)(2)(ii). Suspension of the old growth standard is likely related to the requirement to maintain or restore key ecosystem characteristics a § 219.9(a)(2)(i). Suspension of the winter range thermal cover and elk habitat effectiveness standards are likely related to the consideration of habitat conditions for wildlife commonly used and enjoyed by the public at § 219.10(a)(5). The Forest Service proposes the following actions in the Gold Butterfly project area: (1) Harvest, thin, and prescribe burn units with Douglas-fir beetle, mountain pine beetle, western spruce budworm, or dwarf mistletoe, (2) harvest, thin, and prescribe burn natural meadows that are being colonized by trees, (3) harvest or thin conifers from declining aspen clones, (4) harvest, thin, or prescribe burn areas to improve conditions for whitebark pine, (5) close Burnt Fork Rd. at the Gold Creek campground and move the Gold Creek trailhead to the Gold Creek campground, (6) close NFSR 969A at the junction with NFSR 969 (Willow Creek Rd.), move the trailhead to the junction, and develop trailhead facilities, (7) construct specified and temporary roads to support timber removal from the forest, (8) upgrade road conditions on NFSR 364 and 969 with the application of best management practices, (9) build a crossing (temporary/permanent) where NFSR 13131 crosses North Fork of Willow Creek, (10) decommission NFSR 13111 from the junction with NFSR 364 where the road encroaches on Butterfly Creek and construct an alternative route away from the stream, and (11) decommission or store upland roads in VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:25 Jun 08, 2017 Jkt 241001 the Willow Creek watershed as decided in the Travel Plan, especially those roads that encroach on streams. Responsible Official Julie K. King, Bitterroot National Forest Supervisor, 1801 N. First, Hamilton, Montana 59840–3114 is the Forest Service official who will make the decision on the Gold Butterfly project. Nature of Decision To Be Made The Responsible Official will select the proposed action, an alternative to the proposed action (including the no action alternative), or modify the proposed action or alternatives to the proposed action. The decision may include an amendment to the Bitterroot National Forest Plan to provide a project-specific variance to four standards for coarse woody debris, winter range thermal cover, elk habitat effectiveness, and old growth. Preliminary Issues The number of crossings over streams and road segments directly adjacent to streams are preliminary issues the Forest Service identified in the project area. Timber haul on roads in these situations have the potential to increase the sediment load in the adjacent streams that may negatively affect sediment levels and bull trout habitat. Scoping Process This notice of intent initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. Other opportunities for public comment will occur through the scoping process at public meetings and field trips that will be announced in local newspapers, radio stations, and social media. A comment period will also be available on the draft EIS. Scoping comments that are helpful to the project analysis focus on resource conditions or potential resource conflicts specific to the project area. 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. Comments received in response to this solicitation, 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. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: April 25, 2017. Jeanne M.
