Idaho Panhandle National Forests
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
Project will be designed to improve ecological/social conditions, including but not limited to improved forest health, reduced potential for high-intensity wildfires, improved watershed conditions, and sustainable recreation opportunities.
The project proposes to increase the application of prescribed fire across landscapes to reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe and large wildfires, promote forest resiliency, and reduce impact risk on local communities and valued resources.
The proposed project would include the excavation of 10 exploratory trenches, 20' x 20', on the claim, the removal of the excavated material to an off-site location for testing and then backfilling and reclaiming each trench once testing is complete.
To reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe wildfire and influence how wildfire and other disturbances shape the landscape the Forest Service proposes to authorize prescribed burns on up to 10,000 acres over the next 10 years.
Reduce hazardous fuels and address the concerns of our communities and partners; the IPNF is considering activities that will create fuel breaks along private land, infrastructure, and egress routes adjacent to priority firesheds.
This project will create a fuel break on National Forest lands in Boundary County with the intention to reduce wildfire severity by thinning and burning along roads and powerlines, to help protect communities and create a safer area for firefighters.
Reduce hazardous fuels through fuels and vegetation treatment in the vicinity of communities and values at risk to move forest health and ecological functions towards desired conditions and objectives identified in the 2015 Idaho Plan.
Daycon Minerals proposes to drill/core 4 holes on their mining claims on the Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District, using low-impact, environmentally friendly drilling techniques. Expected timeframe for operations is 3 months.
