Projects

Planting native trees and shrubs along three river riparian field sites which were under special use permit for agricultural purposes and are no longer being used, this project will improve the riparian buffer addressing sedimentation concerns.

Evaluate mechanical, chemical, and biological treatment methods for non-native invasive plants. This project would allow for treatments to occur across the National Forest and in partnership with adjacent, interested land managers or owners.

This project would create recreational opportunities for a quality backcountry, single-track mountain biking experience on the Wayne National Forest for riders of various skill levels.

A special use permit request has been submitted for the use and maintenance of an existing private road to access private property. Approximately 60 feet of this road is on Wayne National Forest land and has been determined to be the only possible access to the private property.

Construct two trail connectors between the Greenwood and Scenic River trails creating a shortened loop, and construct a trail connector between the Baileys trail system and the Snow Fork Event Center for easier access to Buchtel trailhead.

A permit was submitted for temporary access through Wayne National Forest (WNF) land at Hune campground which would require temporary installation of 36-inch culverts to access pier 2 of Hune Bridge for repairs. The area needed for these repairs is 0.32 acres of WNF outside the existing 40-ft ROW.

Le-Ax Water District wants to install a new waterline near Loomis Road to provide a secondary feed to the Logan Hocking Elementary School. About 1800 ft long trench, 6 in wide pipe, 12 in trench about 36 in deep, 8 ft wide workspace off road edge.

This project improves the diversity & quality of habitat by using prescribed fire & manual tree cutting. Implementation would open up the forest floor to reduce competition threatening oak seedlings & saplings, & would reduce hazard fuels in the area

This project would authorize aerial applications of mating disruption pheromone and species-specific larvicide known as Gypchek in the Marietta Unit of the WNF. This would be a multi-year project for slow-the-spread treatments.

about 641 feet of aerial line will run starting from an existing pole to 2 new poles and then to the doser. brush removal will be needed, and brush will be chipped. Traffic plans will comply with state and county safety guidelines.

remove the existing truss bridge that has become deficient with a single span bridge and abutments, about .25 acres outside ROW is needed for traffic and access, grading will occur with reseeding upon completion, minimal tree removal is expected

This project designates 3.37 miles of OHV trail in order to connect the Hanging Rock OHV trails south of SR 650 to the Superior OHV trails north of CR 27. Most of the route would be on existing old road bed that would be improved to standard.

Conduct a combination of non-commercial vegetation cutting and prescribed fire to promote oak regeneration, improve oak health, improve wildlife habitat, and reduce fuel loading.

This proposal would allow the construction of a 15 ft by 850 ft access road through Wayne National Forest lands to access private property

The STARR Project is a forest-wide programmatic decision that would authorize improvements to the Wayne National Forest Trail system. It would authorize trail re-routes, trail reconstruction, and the closure and rehabilitation of unauthorized routes.

This project will create young, brushy forests that are largely composed of oaks and hickories; respond to insect and disease threats; and contribute to local economies. Taking action will provide habitat for wildlife that is lacking in the area.

This Supplemental EA provides additional information and analysis around criteria for the shelterwood harvests in light of a deficiency in the original project that was identified by District Court.

Amend the Forest Plan to remove a standard that requires seasonal closure (December 16-April 14) of OHV, mountain bike, and equestrian trails. OHV trails would still have a static closure, but other trails would have annually established closures.

Washington Electric wants to relocate a section of line from private to Forest Service land where about 60 ft will be above ground and 300 ft will be buried. they are requesting a ROW width of 30 ft, some tree cutting and trenching will be needed.

No tilling cultivation field for hay only to supplement cattle

This project is intended to increase forest resiliency and diversity, take steps towards restoration of watershed conditions, and enhance wildlife and rare plant habitat. https://usfs-public.app.box.com/s/iqz37vxpzlw4y51ehradi8vacurge1pp

Remove understory seedlings and saplings around known orchids using a combination of cutting, hand pulling, propane torches and herbicide. Girdle overstory trees if necessary.
