Boise National Forest — Project Detail

The Emmett Ranger District of the Boise National Forest proposes to conduct hazardous fuels and insect and disease reduction treatments in the Murray Creek area.

The purpose of this project is to respond to the proponent’s Plan of Operations to explore locatable minerals, as required by Forest Service mining regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (36 CFR 228 Subpart A).

The Boise National Forest, Idaho City Ranger District, proposes to assess a proposal for continuation and expansion of an existing placer mining operation on 5 acres over a period of 5 years.

The Central Idaho Antimony Project involves two exploration trenches adjacent to forest service roads for the purposes of exposing and mapping mineralization of lode claims. Small samples may taken for assaying prior to reclamation of the trenches.

Proposal for continuation of a placer mining operation as previously analyzed and approved. This DNA is tiered to the original New Start - JaBob Mining Project EA.

A project to allow for annual prescribed burning to achieve restoration objectives.

The Upper Mores Project is being proposed to restore ecosystem processes and functions that foster landscape diversity and achieve desired vegetation conditions. Much of the project area lies within the Southwest Idaho Fireshed.

The purpose of the project is to reduce hazardous fuel conditions within the community protection zone and reduce the risk of destructive wildfire to the adjacent communities and infrastructure, including Tamarack resort

Address impacts from the 2024 Snag and Nellie Fires by implementing hazard tree mitigation, salvage, reforestation/revegetation, recreation and access management, and road/infrastructure maintenance/repairs.

Address impacts from the 2024 Lava Fire by implementing hazard tree mitigation, salvage, reforestation/revegetation, recreation and access management, road/infrastructure maintenance/repairs, and range management activities.

This project proposes to repair the Rice Creek. The work would include earthwork to regrade and reshape the existing road into a series of fords at all drainages.

The Forest Service is considering amending its land management plans to address new and evolving issues arising since implementing sage-grouse plans in 2015. This project is in cooperation with the USDI Bureau of Land Management.

Fully replace five existing trail bridges over Lime Creek, Elk Creek, Poison Creek, and Johnson Creek as well as relocate and re-emplace an existing washed-out trail bridge over Roaring River and realign several segments of the Roaring River trail.

The project would decommission NFSR 490; remove the old bridge, abutments, and road fill from the active floodplain of the South Fork Salmon River.

Use a variety of treatment methods to control and contain noxious and invasive weeds within the South Fork Salmon River Subbasin. Separate decisions will be issued for the Payette (May 2007) and Boise National Forests (February 2010).
