Ca ll 541-575-0710 to su b scrib e Public Notice Legal Notice 30-Day Comment Period USDA Forest Service Malheur National Forest Prairie City Ranger District Prairie City, Oregon Summit Creek Landscape Restoration Project The Summit Creek Landscape Restoration Project (“project”) Preliminary Environmental Assessment (EA) is now available for public review and comment. The Malheur National Forest is proposing a suite of actions to improve the ecological structure and function of forest ecosystems; restore riparian vegetation, including aspen and other hardwood vegetation; reduce fuel loading and fire hazard across the landscape; and reduce road-related impacts on approximately 38,000 acres of National Forest System lands. Activities proposed would include commercial harvest, pre-commercial and non-commercial thinning, underburning, road closures and decommissioning, and wildlife habitat enhancements. These actions are proposed on the Prairie City Ranger District, approximately 20 miles southeast of Prairie City, Oregon. The project is located a few miles south of the Strawberry Wilderness, and is bounded by the recently completed Elk 16 Landscape Restoration Project to the east, Logan Valley to the west, and the Emigrant Creek Ranger District boundary to the south. Grant County Road 62 and Forest Service Road 16 pass through the project area. Subwatersheds include Bosonberg Creek-Malheur River and Summit Creek. The preliminary EA can be accessed on the Forest Service website at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=42450. A copy of the document and/or additional project information can be obtained by contacting Amy Mathis (Natural Resource Planner) at the Prairie City Ranger District, P.O.
