Planning has started on a 1 5-month
project which will result in a long
term management plan for the use of
approximately 1,400 acres of Na
tional Forest System lands at the
confluence of the Sandy and Colum
bia Rivers. The Sandy River Delta
property was recently conveyed to
the forest Service by the Trust For
Public Lands, which purchased the
site from Reynolds Metals Co. in
1991.
The 1986 legislation that created
the Columbia River Gorge National
Scenic Area designated this site as a
Special Management Area. The Na
tional Scenic Area Management Plan,
in turn, has identified it as a location
for an orientation and information
center that serves as a "gateway" to
the National Scenic Area. The plan
ning process being undertaken at this
time will determine the location and
tvocs of gateway facilities.
Public and agency involvement is
part of the planning. A 30-day public
scoping period to identity issues to
analvzc in planning for development
has been initiated. Other public in
volvement opportunities arc sched
uled in late January. A decision on
whether to prepare an Environmen
tal Assessment or and Environmen
tal Impact Statement will be based
upon the issues identified through
scoping and the results of the inven
tory phase.

Bear Springs now part of Rez
Facilities at the Rear Srjrinp
Ranger District are now part of Res
ervation lands since the McQuinn
Strip reverted back to ownership by
the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs in September 1992. For that
reason, discussions are currently
taking place between the U.S. Forest
Service and the Tribe regarding re
sponsibilities for the buildings.
Questions regarding responsibil
ity for improvements, maintenance
of grounds and buildings, law en
forcement, occupancy and new fa
cilities are some of the issues being
studied. According to Bureau of In
dian Affairs Land Operations direc
tor Jerry Hendrickson, the topics are
creating no unresolvable situations.
The final draft of the Memoran
dum of Understanding for the Bear
Springs facilities is expected to be
completed within 30 days.
Quartz Creek Logging
Unit Proposal
The following is a draft environ
mental assessment on the proposed
Quartz Butte Logging Unit. Public
comments arc encouraged. Finaliza
tion of the proposal will come after
all comments have been considered.
Deadline for comments is March 5,
1993.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs pro
poses a sale of timber to harvest a
portion of the 1993-94 annual allow
able cuts, improve stand vigor and
reduce western spruce budworm
impacts through commercial thinning
stand(s), and clearcutplant or
shcltcrwood harvest in overmature,
diseased and stagnated stands, and
provide income to the Confederated
Tribes.
The proposed sale would be lo
cated on the northern portion of the
Warm Springs Reservation. The "no
action" alternative would only sal
vage insect and fire-killed timber and
economic yields would be quite vari
able and unpredictable. The "pro
posed action alternatives, modified
tribe plus and wildlifesoil, would
treat approximatcly479 and 381 acres
respectively using regeneration har
vesting and commercial thin(s).
The timber revenues to the Tribes
would yield approximately S770.000
to S599.00O, dependent upon alter
native implemented.
Thcprojcctintcrdisciplinary team
preferred alternative is wildlifesoil.
Impacts to the environment would be
mitigated. The alternatives in this
EA follow the direction of the IRMP
adopted in April 1992 and conforms
to the IRMP standards and best
management practices.
Comments on the Quartz Creek
proposal should be submitted to the
BIA Forestry Office at the Industrial
Park or mailed to PO Box 1239 Warm
Springs, OR 97761, attention: Doug
Man ion.
Skyline Logging Unit
Proposal
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has
prepared the following draft Envi
ronmental Assessment (EA) on the
proposed Skyline Logging Unit.
Public comments arc encouraged anj
are due by February 3.
The BIA proposes a sale of timber
to harvest a portion of the 1993-94
annual allowable cut, improve
growth, stand vigor and reduce
western spruce budworm impact
through commercial thinning
younger stands, clear cut and plant or
shcltcrwood harvest in overmature,
diseased, and stagnated stands; and
provide income to the Confederated
Tribes.
The proposed sale would be lo
cated on the northwest portion of the
Warm Springs Reservation. The "no
action" alternative would salvage
insect and fire killed timber with
economic yields quite variable due
to unpredictable natural catastrophes.
The 'proposed action" alternatives;
alternatives B and C would treat ap
proximately 605 and 665 acres re
spectively using regeneration har
vests and commercial thins.
The timber revenues to the Con
federated tribes of Warm Sprint
would be approximately S3.5 to $4.0
million, dependent upon alternative
implemented.
The Project I.D. Team preferred
alternative is alternative C. All im
pacts to the environment would be
mitigated. The alternatives follow the
direction of the Integrated Resource
Management Plan adopted in April
1992 and conforms to IRMP stan
dards and best management practices.
Comments should be submitted
to the BIA Forestry Office at the
Industrial Park or mailed to PO Box
