If it is a medical emergency, dial 911. public comment The Heppner Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest is seeking public comment on the pro- posed West End Farm Bill Categorical Exclusion (CE) project (West End Project), located approximately 28 miles southwest of Hep- pner. The Forest Service will be accepting comments on the proposal until Nov. 12, 2019. The purpose of this project is to reduce the risk and extent of an on- going insect and disease infestation. The West End Project proposes to treat up to 3,000 acres by removing trees through mechanical treatments including com- mercial thinning, small di- ameter thinning, pile burn- ing and prescribed fire. Treatments would remove insect and disease infested trees and reduce stocking levels to decrease competi- tion for moisture, light and nutrients. Proposed activi- ties are designed to improve the ability of trees to ward off insects and diseases and decrease fuel build up from dead and dying trees, thus increasing forest stand resilience. The Forest Service is seeking scoping comments to help refine the proposed action and identify ways to improve project design. The comment period is an opportunity for the public to be involved in the pro- cess and offer thoughts on alternative ways the Forest Service can accomplish the project purpose and need. The Heppner Ranger District will also host two collaboration opportunities during the scoping period, including a public field trip to the project area on Oct. 18, 2019 and a public workshop at the Heppner Ranger District office on Nov. 7, 2019. For more information about the West End Project or the upcoming collabora- tion opportunities, please contact the project lead, Diane Shirley at diane. shirley@usda.gov or 541- 427-5315. Additionally, those interested in attending the public field trip are en- couraged to RSVP to Diane Shirley so the Forest can plan accordingly. Additional information about the West End Project, including how to comment on proposed activities, is available at: http://www. fs.fed.us/nepa/fs-usda-pop. php/?project=56315.
