Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests Proposed Projects

Proposal of vegetation management activities to reduce hazardous fuels, meet the need to improve forest health and resiliency in concurrence with desired conditions and objectives identified in the Forest Plan, and harvest wood products.

A culvert on FSR 382 would be replaced by two concrete box culverts. The District Ranger determined the project was road repair and maintenance, per CE category 31.12(4). The project was completed during the October 2017 Small NEPA IDT meeting.

Rd decomm to facilitate meadow restoration along W Fk Potlatch River. Rd construction to maintain access to FSR 377 and trail relocation to improve public safety; improve parking. Requesting EAD under IIJA, comment period per IIJA offered if granted.

The Nez Perce and Clearwater National Forests are proposing to revise their two, individual forest plans as a single forest plan for the administratively combined Forests using the 2012 National Forest System Land Management Planning regulations.

Replace existing timber stringer bridges crossing Meadow Crk and Graves Meadow with new concrete or steel girder bridges. Existing bridge decks, abutments and back walls are in decay, and both bridges restrict flow during normal annual runoff.

Proposed activities would primarily focus on instream habitat below the culvert and substrate conditions in the culvert. Work would include increasing the pool depth directly below the culvert.

Improve forest resilience, reduce hazardous fuels, enhance native grasslands, improve road access, develop two rock pits, reduce sediment delivery, provide timber products. Requesting EAD under IIJA, comment period per IIJA offered if granted.
