Dixie National Forest — Project Detail

This project would open 3 new mineral pits, authorize/reauthorize 10 existing pits (expanding 7), and close/reclaim 17 pits across the Cedar City Ranger District to facilitate sources of minerals for project work over the next 15-20 years.

Brian Head Resort is proposing terrain and ski area improvements within and adjacent to their current special use permit (SUP) on the Dixie National Forest. The plan includes adding an additional 1,651 acres to their Special Use Permit boundary.

The Cedar City Ranger Disitrict is proposing to realign the Dry Camp - Houston Mountain Road (FSR 30051). The project would decommission 2.6 miles of existing road prism across meadow areas with sensitive soils and reconstruct 3.5 miles of new road.

The Extension will supply power to a customer requesting service. A total of 0.75 acres will occupy USFS Dixie National Forest. The proposed power line will run adjacent to West Pinto Road. Ten wooden poles will be installed with a height of 45 feet.

The Hungry Creek Project would facilitate landscape-scale forest vegetation management to promote resiliency of the ecosystem while maintaining the aesthetics and character of the landscape.

The goal of the project is to install fencing around six riparian areas to force livestock to disperse, establish the ability to graze the fenced areas in a more controlled manner, and over time improve riparian health.

Reduce fire threat to values at risk in the wildfire crisis landscape including high-risk firesheds, the WUI zones, and areas adjacent to critical infrastructure including roads, municipal watersheds, and energy corridors.

Dixie NF is proposing a forest-wide prescribed fire project to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire, increase resilience of existing vegetation groups and improve ecological function in native vegetation communities and wildlife habitats.

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.

The Communication Sites are located throughout Dixie National Forest.They include existing Communication Site Designations, Site Plans and inspection records, Site NEPA, and follow National and Forest Plan goals and directives.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources proposes to remove all fish from Navajo Lake using piscicides in October 2021. It would then restock with sportfish.
