Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest — Project Detail

Replacement of 2 failing bridges with new bridges in more sustainable locations, with trail reroutes leading to the new locations. Bridges 70'-80' in length each, with about 750' of new trail total.

The Darrington Ranger District proposes to replace a bridge on the Suiattle River Road to improve an important Chinook Salmon run and restore important salmon habitat for species.

The proposed action is to construct a bypass route around a road failure on FSR 37 to reestablish access to the Deadhorse Road Relocation Project area.

Landscape scale analysis of habitat restoration, and actions to improve ecological conditions.

This analysis will streamline the implementation of commercial thinning treatments designed to increase structural diversity of overstocked and planted stands and provide a sustainable flow of timber to local communities.

Removal of the failed FSR 41 road bridge over the South Fork of Canyon Creek and removal of earth abutments in the creekbed to restore natural hydrologic flow. Construction of a footbridge for access to the area north of the creek for recreation use.

To explore or develop geothermal resources on National Forest lands, the USFS must consent to lease areas nominated by the BLM. This analysis does not authorize ground disturbance, but creates stipulations for authorized leasing areas. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/r56gzyn1msyfvj8md81arv1mo15tgoso

This project aims to restore forest health and resilience, improve wildlife habitat, and support native plants that are important to Tribal communities by thinning and diversifying previously regenerated plantation stands.

Revegetation of degraded alpine meadow areas at a popular hiking area using native plant species. Installation of minimal visitor barriers (rebar, rope) to prevent trampling of revegetated areas.

This landscape-scale analysis would improve ecological conditions, enhance recreational opportunities, provide forest products to support local economies, and maintain public access to valuable resources.

Replacement in place of girder substructure and decking on the Heather Lake Trail at the outflow into Heather Creek.

The U.S. Geological Survey-Cascades Volcano Observatory (USGS-CVO) has applied for a 20-year special use permit to install up to 5 new Lahar monitoring stations within the Carbon and White River drainages located to the NE of Mount Rainier volcano.

Stevens Pass Mountain Resort is replacing two long-term "temporary" porta-potties in parking lot #2 with 2 double-vault CXT prefabricated concrete toilets.

Partners deploying camera stations across multiple forests to assess habitat range and distribution of Canada Lynx and Wolverine over a period of 20 years.

Sound Salmon Solutions staff will install approximately 9,000 total native plants in the riparian buffer of the South Fork Skykomish River in 5 separate parcels. Post-planting maintenance and monitoring will ensure survival of plants.

The Comprehensive Plan will develop administrative and management objectives and practices and desired conditions for the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail on public lands in Forest Service Regions 1 and Regions 6.

The Pacific Northwest Region is collaborating with nine Forests to develop a region-wide project to protect whitebark pine trees (Pinus albicaulis) that have a high level of white pine blister rust resistance.

Reconstruct the Snoqualmie Lake TH with additional and improved parking and add a toilet

Project proposal would replace 750 feet of boardwalk within the footprint of the original trail.

The Snohomish County Sheriffs Office Search and Rescue Unit operates and maintains repeaters at five locations in the Mt.Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. This project seeks to allow the Sheriff's office to provide periodic maintenance and repairs.

Repair of storm-damaged roads and trails in the Snoqualmie Ranger District, including Forest Service led repair work proposed for Gold Creek Trail Bridge. Additional repairs also led by Federal Highways Administration.

Project to complete repairs of storm damage on NFS Road 50. Repairs would include embankment placement to grade to replace shoulder and roadway, including rock and root wad placement for bank stabilization, culvert cleaning, and road resurfacing.

Complete repairs of storm damage on NFS Road 5078. Repairs include removing woody debris and rock material out of the aggraded stream and rebuilding the road prism above the stream intersection.

Repair of storm-damaged roads under the Emergency Response for Federally Owned Roads (ERFO) program, including Forest Service led repair of FS Road 3040 at MP 1.6.

The project would relocate 1600 feet of trail. The project would reduce grade and create safer terrain for hikers. The reduction in grade would also promote vegetation health along the trail, by minimizing impacts of erosion.

Heavy rains during the winter of 2016 damaged FSR 6835 at MP 1.4, where soils became heavily saturated and caused a debris land slide. Project will remove the slide material, place base rock and surfacing, and add a cross drain culvert.

A temporary closure of National Forest System Road (FSR) 6020-110, the Lake Serene Trailhead, the entire length of the Lake Serene Trail, including the Bridal Veil Falls Trail.

Improve and maintain boat launching capabilities, provide improved toilet facilities and increase parking capacity to improve visitor safety at the Panorama Point boat launch.

Construct 1700' trail to Otter Falls. Construct 1.3mi Garfield Ledges trail starting at intersection of Rd 56/5640. Construct trail Mid Fork trailhead (TH) to Taylor R. bridge; add picnic sites.
