Chinook salmon returns looking good Biomass assessment released The Resource Management Interdisciplinary Team has just released a draft project assess ment for public review. The draft document provides an environmental analysis of the proposed Oregon Bioenergy Biomass Plant. The Resource Management Interdisciplinary Team also ap proved sm all project assess ments for a rodeo/coral facility north of the industrial park, a farm ing operatio n near the mouth of the Warm Springs River, and a timber salvage to collect blowdown off Tenino Road. The biomass plant assess Page 3 July 13, 2011 m ent was p rep ared by the Project Interdisciplinary Team to provide options for a facility that is being planned for con struction north of Warm Springs and east of Highway 3. Two alternatives were formu lated and numerous components were considered in developing the final plan, taking into ac count present site conditions, associated resources and public input. The document is divided into sections explaining the purpose and need for action, resource- based indicators used to help the technical staff analyze and miti gate environmental impacts, and details of the alternatives. There is a map showing the project site plan, including build ing locations, transmission line and water line routes, an access road and other related facilities. The alternatives would have varying impacts on water, fish, wildlife, cultural, timber, range, soil and economic resources and there would also be changes to the transportation system. For more information or cop ies of the document contact Dee Sehgal or Bill Rhoades in the Natural Resources Office Building. Tribal members have 30 days to comment on the pro posed project.
