President Clinton's proposal
to end road building in many
parts of the national forest "will
have zero effect on the Heppner
area", Heppner ranger Andrei
Rykoff said Tuesday.
Speaking before the Heppner
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday,
Rykoff said overall three areas
of the Umatilla National forest
would be most affected by the
roadless plan, Skookum, Texas
Butte and Potamus, but that the
Heppner unit shouldn't see much
change.
The roadless plan as proposed
by the Clinton administration
would ban road building on 43
million now-roadless acres, or
about 22 percent of the nation's
national forest system. By
keeping roads and vehicles out,
U.S. Forest Service Chief
Michael Dombeck has said, the
proposal will safeguard the
natural values of that land for
future generations.
Timber industry spokesmen say
the plan will reduce logging and
increase the chance of fire in the
national forests.
The proposal is now open to
public comment, after which the
Forest Service will review the
comments and decide how to
proceed.
Comments for the Umatilla
National Forest will be taken on
June 28 at the Forest Supervisor's

about the roadless plans are also
scheduled.
One information
meeting will be held May 24 also
at the supervisor's office in
Pendleton from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Another information meeting
will be held May 30 at Ukiah

the roadless plan people can also

www.roadIess.fs.fed.us
Rykoff said the Umatilla
National Forest has about 1.4
million acres, of which about 20
percent or 278,000 acres will be
designated roadless.
Under the roadless plan logging
and other activity will be allowed
on the land, if it is done with
helicopters or other non-road
methods.
Rykoff also stressed that the
Forest Service is not closing any
roads.
There are currently
386,000 miles of roads in the
nation's forest system.
The roadless plan would most
likely effect only parcels of land
over 5,000 acres, he said.
"We've got more than enough
road," Rykoff said," and frankly
we have more than enough roads
to deal with."
