As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering economic use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration.

Your ideas, comments, and participation help us make informed decisions and implement better projects.

Project Update is organized by resource area, and within each resource area,by type of project. Additional information can be obtained from the BLM staff listed as contacts. Please send written comments, including the specific project name, to the appropriate address listed below during the identified public comment period.

March 2007 Project Update

Page 4: Bureau of Land Management Salem District Project UpdateAverage stand age ranges from 40 to 70-years old. Thinning would occur in the Matrix (1,504 acres), Riparian Reserve (356 acres),

Current projects are described in Tables 1 – 4. Fiscal Year 2007 timber sales are described in Table 5

Explanatory comments concerning Tables 1-4: Projects are organized by project type, project name/description, location, planning status, and contact person. A project may include the following stages:

Developing Proposed Action -A site-specific proposal, called a proposed action, is developed to move the existing condition of an area towards a desired condition or result.

Scoping -Public comment is sought on the proposed action. Comments are used to refine the proposal, or to identify issues which will define the scope of analysis and alternatives to be considered.

Developing Alternatives -A range of alternatives is developed based on the issues raised during scoping, while addressing the purpose and need for the project.

Analyzing Effects - The effects of implementing the alternative(s) are determined and documented in an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement), EA (Environmental Assessment), CX (Categorical Exclusion), or DNA (Determination of NEPA Adequacy).

Comment Period - Comments are generally sought for 60 days on a draft EIS, and for 30 days on an EA, and FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact). There are no established comment periods for a CX or DNA. Comment periods are established commensurate with the anticipated level of public interest.

Notice of Decisions - Notice of decisions from an EIS and EA will be published in a newspaper in the area where the lands affected by the decision are located. They will be sent to those who have requested such notices. Notices of decision from an EIS will also be published in the Federal Register. Notice for projects which qualify as a CX or DNA will be available for public review at the appropriate field office.

What’s Next in the Western Oregon Plan Revision Process?

The BLM planning team is involved in a detailed analysis using existing data, information, and sophisticated models to determine environmental, economic, and social effects. Some changes and adjustments to the alternatives are expected when the analysis is completed. There will be no formal opportunities for public input until after the analysis is completed and the draft resource management plan and environmental impact statement are published. However, the BLM will be working closely with formal plan cooperators, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the USDA Forest Service, the state of Oregon (10 agencies), and the cooperating western Oregon counties.

Periodic updates on the process will be published in the plan revision newsletter and on the BLM Internet web page at http://www.blm.gov/or/plans/wopr.

When the draft resource management plan and environmental impact statement are released for the 90-day public review and comment period there will be numerous opportunities for public input. After public comments have been considered, a proposed resource management plan and final environmental impact statement will be issued in the fall of 2007. A record of decision for each district will be issued by March 2008.

The BLM maintains an extensive plan revision mailing list (both postal and electronic). Materials are available in printed format, on CD, or over the Internet. A summary document is also available for review. If you wish to be on either of the mailing lists, please write the Western Oregon Plan Revisions, POB 2965, Portland, OR 97208, call them at 503-808-6629, or email them at [email protected]. They will be pleased to add you to their mailing list and keep you involved in the planning process.
