Timber sale assessment released The Resource Management Interdisciplinary Team has re leased a draft project assessment covering the Wintergreen 2007 Timber Sale for public review. The document was prepared by the Project Interdisciplinary Team to provide options for tim ber h arvest in the Long Ridge, Schoolie and Hehe sub forest planning units. Three alternatives were for mulated and numerous logging methods were considered for this project, taking into account present resource conditions, forest health and public input. The Wintergreen Timber Sale is expected to yield approxi mately 42 million board feet of timber. 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 three alternatives. There are maps showing the harvest blocks, quick reference tables to compare the alterna tives, a list of measures needed to mitigate environmental con sequences, and the Project In terdisciplinary Team’s recom mended alternative. The goal of Alternative A is to continue current m anage ment. Activities such as hunt ing, recreation and cultural food gathering would continue as in the past. The only harvest pro p o sed u n d er A ltern ativ e A would be through conventional salvage operations. Alternative B is designed to harvest approximately 41.5 mil lion board feet of timber from approximately 3,300 acres. Alternative C is designed to harvest approximately 42.8 mil lion board feet of timber from approximately 4,000 acres. The three alternatives would have varying impacts on water, fish, wildlife, cultural, timber, range, soil and economic re sources and there would also be some changes to the transpor tation system. All of these impacts are ex plained in the project assess ment. Once the allowable cut has been reached for 2007, any re maining volume associated with this project will be harvested in future years. The actual volume to be har vested under the project w ill depend on which alternative is selected subject to approval by the Confederated Tribes.

Scoping meetings were held during 2005 for the Agency and Seekseequa districts (July 11) and Simnasho District (July 13) to solicit tribal member in put on the proposed project.
