Revised Notice of Intent to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement; reopening of public scoping
period.

Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the South Revilla IRP
is to implement the 2016 Forest Plan
direction to move the project area
toward the desired future conditions
described in that plan. More
specifically, the purpose is to manage
the timber resource for production of
sawtimber and other wood products,
improve ecosystem and watershed
health, and provide a range of recreation
opportunities to meet public and
tourism business demand through an
integrated approach to meet multiple
resource objectives. Maintaining
existing and expanding future
opportunities for the recreation and
tourism sector would contribute to the
local economy.
There is a need to provide a
sustainable level of forest products to
contribute to the economic
sustainability of the region. Providing
old-growth timber and currently
merchantable young-growth timber
would preserve a viable timber industry
by providing timber volume in an
economically efficient manner while
providing jobs and opportunities for
Southeast Alaska residents. Past
management activities have affected
watershed function in the project area.
There is a need to improve and restore
the natural range of habitat conditions
in the project area to support viable
wildlife, fish, and plant populations and
to sustain diversity and production
which would contribute to traditional,
cultural, and subsistence uses by
residents of Southeast Alaska.
There is also a need to provide
sustainable recreation opportunities to a
diverse and growing group of forest
users. A sustainable recreation program
in terms of operations and maintenance
is needed to maintain infrastructure at
an acceptable level.
Proposed Action
The Forest Service proposes to
harvest timber, construct and
reconstruct roads, restore watershed
function, enhance or restore fish and
wildlife habitat, and develop recreation
opportunities in the Shelter Cove, Shoal
Cove and Thorne Arm areas within the
Ketchikan Misty Fjords Ranger District.
The project area includes the following
land use designations (LUDs):
Wilderness, Semi-remote Recreation,
Old-growth Habitat, Special Interest
Area, Scenic River, Modified
Landscape, and Timber Production
(Forest Plan, Chapter 3). Maps and
information on the 2018 Shelter Cove
Recreation Area Master Plan are
provided on the project web page at:
