USFS Heppner plan
Soroptimist citizenship awards
Cont. from page 9
areas would be allocated to
activities which provide com
modities and various levels of
dispersed recreation oppor
tunities. A considerable por
tion of the roadless areas (55
per cent), although allocated
to commodity objectives,
would have a classification of
limited access, meaning those
roads built to support timber
harvest would be closed to
public automobile traffic..."
Such "commodity object
ives," if implemented in the
six RARE II roadless areas,
"would be considered irrever
sible from the standpoint of
wilderness designation be
cause of road construction and
timber harvest," the enviro
mental statement noted. Once
logging starts in the Heppner
Unit RARE II areas, recently
passed over for federal wilder
ness status, any hopes for
future wilderness classifica
tions will apparently be
dashed.
According to the Forest
Service rationale for choosing
alternative E as the preferred
land use plan, none of the
Unit's six RARE II roadless
areas "were judged to be
highly suitable for wilderness.
Several of the areas are quite
small by wilderness stand
ards, and none of the areas
have unique or unusual land
forms, ecosystems or wildlife.
Collectively, the highest rated
characteristic of these areas
is their availability. However,
none is judged to be highly
desirable or needed as wilder
ness. ..The Texas Butte and
Kelly Prairie areas were
found to have a relatively high
tradeoff of commodity re
sources." Seminoe indicated that tent
ative plans call for logging
operations to begin in the
Texas Butte roadless area in
1983.
Old growth timber
to remain
At least five per cent of the
Heppner Unit's non-deferred
timberland will be devoted to
old growth timber stands in
the 240-360 year-old age stage.
In order to maintain that
percentage of old growth
timber, a significant amount
of younger tree acreage must
be set aside. For every 30 acre
block of old growth timber
that reaches harvest stage at
240-360 years, 90 acres must be
set aside in rotation to provide
for continuity.
According to the draft
statement, there will always
be at least an average of 30
acres per square mile in an old
growth habitat situation. The
size and distribution of the old
growth parcels will vary
throughout the district. They
will be determined in an
upcoming Old-Growth Habitat
Resource Management Plan.
Under the preferred alterna
tive, in the Heppner Unit's
non-deferred commercial
forest land, at least 20,024
acres would be devoted to
old-growth habitat.
The Forest Service projects
that stream sedimentation
would be lower than present
levels under the preferred
alternative, but notes in an
enviromental effects sum
mary that under the preferred
alternative, there will be a
"slight reduction of potential
anadromous fish popula
tions." The report states that
in all forest activities, "state
and federal water quality
standards will be met."
JVetc campground
atPenland Lake
Other than building a camp
ground facility at Penland
Lake, the Forest Service has
no plans for adding major
recreation facilities or trails
in the Heppner Unit under the
preferred alternative.
Although the Heppner Unit
encompasses parts of Grant,
Wheeler and Umatilla
counties, the lion's share of
the district lies in Morrow
County. Under the preferred
alternative, counties would
receive an estimated $583,704
in timber severance tax
funds up from the current
level of $507,056. Currently,
the Heppner Unit returns
$1,059,520 to the U.S. Treasury
from timber sales. The rate is
expected to rise to $1,219,680
under the preferred alternative.
given to HHS students
The Heppner Unit Manage
ment Plan, once approved or
amended, will be incorporated
into a management plan for
the Umatilla National Forest
as a whole. Seminoe noted that
the plan "is not carved in
stone," and will be subject to
review "at least on a ten year
basis, and often more
frequently."
Heppner Soroptimist Club
held it's regular meeting
Thursday, Jan. 11, at West of
Willow.
Among guests of honor were
Marie Yocom and Barb
Devine, both seniors at Hep
pner High School, Michele
Portmann, student counselor,
and the girl's mothers, Hilda
Yocom and Barbara Bloods
worth. Miss Devine and Miss
Yocom were the recipients of
the Soroptimist citizenship
awards, which were presented
to them by Soroptimist presi
dent Marlene Gray.
Also a guest, and the
featured speaker, was Ray
mond De Jong, an Australian
exchange student who has
been staying with the Clifford
Green family. Mrs. Green
(Cindy) accompanied Ray
mond as a guest of the club.
Mr. De Jong showed some
fascinating slides of Australia
along with a well-informed
and interesting narration.
