Review and Comment Period
Forest Resiliency Project
USDA - Forest Service
Ochoco National Forest
Umatilla National Forest
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest
Baker, Crook, Grant, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa and Wheeler Counties, Oregon
Asotin, Columbia, Garfield, and Walla Walla Counties,
Washington
The U.S. Forest Service is initiating a 60-day public review and comment period for the Forest
Resiliency Project on portions of the Ochoco, Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests.
Implementation of this project could begin in 2017.
Proposed Actions: The Forest Service proposes to implement activities on approximately 610,000
acres within the project area. All proposed forest treatments would be designed to create forest
patterns more reflective of natural disturbance regimes, and facilitate safe and effective fire
management to conserve high value resources. No treatments are proposed in any area that is
within an existing, active project planning area, a recently burned or implemented project area,
Wilderness, Research Natural Area, Inventoried Roadless Area, Wild and Scenic River, or in an
area identified by the respective Forest Supervisor as being of low restoration priority.
Ochoco National Forest: On the Ochoco National Forest, thinning and low severity fire would be
applied to dry forests on about 115,000 acres within the project planning area as follows: 20,500
acres of smaller diameter (< 20” dbh), closed-canopied (>about 40% canopy cover) stands to move
them toward more open conditions, and encourage growth in average diameter. Opening
treatments would also be used to create canopy gaps, where needed; 18,000 acres of smaller
diameter, open canopied (< about 40% canopy cover) stands to move them toward more open
conditions encourage growth in average diameter, and/or restore desirable fire regimes. Opening
treatments would also be used to create canopy gaps, where needed; 55,000 acres of larger
diameter (>about 20” dbh), closed-canopied stands to move them toward more open conditions,
and encourage growth in average diameter; 15,000 acres in larger diameter, open stands to restore
desirable fire regimes, and encourage growth in average diameter without reducing the abundance
of large tree, open canopied stands overall; 4,000 acres for grassland restoration; and 100 acres
of aspen inclusions to reduce conifer expansion and stimulate aspen regeneration.
On the Ochoco National Forest, fuel treatments could be applied in strategic locations accessible
by fire management personnel on up to 5,800 additional acres of smaller diameter moist and cold
forest to achieve desired planned and unplanned fire behavior, facilitate safe and effective fire
management, conserve high value resources, and restore fire at landscape scales more reflective
of more natural ranges of variation (RV). These treatments would be integrated with upland dry
forest treatments to achieve landscape-level objectives.
Umatilla National Forest: On the Umatilla National Forest, thinning and low severity fire would be
applied to dry forests on about 125,000 acres within the project planning area as follows: 69,500
acres of smaller diameter, closed-canopied stands to move them toward more open conditions and
encourage growth in average diameter. Opening treatments would also be used to create canopy
gaps, where needed; 36,000 acres of smaller diameter, open stands to move them toward more
open conditions and encourage growth in average diameter, and/or restore desirable fire regimes.
Opening treatments would also be used to create canopy gaps, where needed; 1,000 acres of
larger diameter, closed-canopied stands to move them toward more open conditions, and
encourage growth in average diameter; 4,200 acres of larger diameter, open stands to restore
desirable fire regimes, and encourage growth in average diameter without reducing the abundance
of large tree, open canopied stands overall; 14,000 acres for grassland restoration; and 300 acres
of aspen inclusions to reduce conifer expansion and stimulate aspen regeneration.
On the Umatilla National Forest, fuel treatments could be applied in strategic locations accessible
by fire management personnel on up to about 87,500 additional acres of smaller diameter moist
and cold forest to achieve desired planned and unplanned fire behavior, facilitate safe and effective
fire management, conserve high value resources, and restore fire at landscape scales more
reflective of the RV. These treatments would be integrated with upland dry forest treatments to
achieve landscape-level objectives.
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest: On the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, thinning and low
severity fire would be applied to dry forests on about 190,000 acres within the project planning area
as follows: 127,500 acres of smaller diameter, closed-canopied stands to move them toward more
open conditions and encourage growth in average diameter. Opening treatments would also be
used to create canopy gaps, where needed; 39,500 acres of smaller diameter, open stands to
move them toward more open conditions, encourage growth in average diameter, and/or restore
desirable fire regimes. Opening treatments would also be used to create canopy gaps, where
needed; 1,000 acres of larger diameter, closed-canopied stands to move them toward more open
conditions, and encourage growth in average diameter; 7,200 acres in larger diameter, open dry
forests to restore desirable fire regimes, and encourage growth in average diameter without
reducing the abundance of large tree, open canopied stands overall; 15,000 acres for grassland
restoration; and 200 acres of aspen inclusions to reduce conifer expansion and stimulate aspen
regeneration.
On the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, fuel treatments could be applied in strategic locations
accessible by fire management personnel on up to 90,000 additional acres of smaller diameter
moist and cold forest to achieve desired planned and unplanned fire behavior, facilitate safe and
effective fire management, conserve high value resources, and restore fire at landscape scales
more reflective of the RV. These treatments would be integrated with upland dry forest treatments
to achieve landscape-level objectives.
Forest treatments in any Category of riparian habitat conservation area would be limited to
prescribed fire and small diameter thinning (<9” dbh), and adhere to the Blue Mountains Project
Design Criteria, which were developed under programmatic informal consultation between the
Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman (and Malheur) National Forests and the National Marine Fisheries
Service (November 2013).
Any treatment in old forest management areas, as designated in the respective forest plan, would
be to support development of old forest characteristics and/or achieve forest plan desired
conditions.
The proposed action would utilize the existing road system currently in place to facilitate
implementation of vegetation and strategic fuel treatment activities. No new road construction is
proposed, unless it is to meet standard and guidelines or Endangered Species Act consultation
guidance for road location (e.g., to relocate a road currently in a riparian habitat conservation area).
Where necessary, currently closed roads may be used to implement treatments, but they would be
closed immediately after use. The range of alternatives analyzed in the DEIS will include one or
more proposed road systems that, post implementation, would meet Forest Plan standards and
guidelines and consultation guidance provided during the development of those plans. Temporary
road construction would be based on site suitability, kept to a minimum to minimize detrimental
effects such as soil disturbance and potential erosion, designed whenever possible and suitable
over existing disturbance footprints (i.e., legacy roads), located to avoid stream crossings, and
obliterated upon completion of project implementation.
Additional benefits of implementation of the proposed action include maintenance and
enhancement of culturally significant resources, settings, viewsheds, and sensitive plant and
animal species habitat, including those of interest to the tribes. A monitoring strategy will be
developed to support learning and sharing lessons learned through time.
Connected actions that would be analyzed as a part of the EIS include hazard tree removal, snag
creation, down wood creation, soil remediation (subsoiling, scarification), invasive plant treatment,
native seeding of disturbed sites, system road reconstruction, road maintenance, re-closure of
roads opened to implement treatments, water source development, material source development,
installation of erosion control features, culvert replacement for haul support, activity fuel preparation
and treatment, hand line construction, temporary fencing, stump treatment for annosus root rot,
and reforestation. A suite of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Project Design Criteria (PDC)
will be integrated into the design of alternatives and the analysis of effects to ensure that relevant
natural resources, tribal treaty resources, and social values are managed and protected in a
manner consistent with policy, law, and regulation. BMPs and PDCs will also serve to ensure that
implementation of the actions described in the ROD are properly executed.
The responsible officials for decisions under this project on the Ochoco, Umatilla, and Wallowa-
Whitman National Forests are their respective Forest Supervisors.
Go to http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/forestresiliencyproject for more detailed information and maps of
the project area and proposed treatment areas.
Opportunity to Comment: 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. Written, facsimile, hand-
delivered, oral, and electronic comments concerning this action will be accepted for 60 calendar
days following publication of the notice of intent in the Federal Register. The publication date in the
Federal Register is the exclusive means for calculating the comment period for this proposal.
Those wishing to comment should not rely upon dates or timeframe information provided by any
other source.
Written comments must be submitted to Blue Mountains Restoration Strategy Team Lead, 72510
Coyote Rd., Pendleton, OR 97801 or via FAX-541-278-3730 c/o Blue Mountains Restoration
Strategy. The office business hours for those submitting hand-delivered comments are 8:00 AM to
4:30 PM Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
