The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is the lead federal agency for this project, and the Forest Service is a cooperating agency. For information about this project, please refer to: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/state-offices/oregon/clear-branch-dam-remedial-project.

Improve forest health and diversity of plantations and provide a sustainable supply of forest products.

Adding additional gravel to the access road, reroute of a section the same road, as well as installing three rock fords

Widen portions of the Low Road and Skyline ski trails.

This project proposes cutting standing trees from along a portion of the Jeff Flood chairlift for the purpose of infrastructure and public safety.

Remove excess buildup of dead and down trees including incidental removal of standing stressed dying trees from areas along National Forest System roads 46, 4640, and 5710 to control insect infestation and spread.

There is a need to amend the Forest Plan to remove the high use recreational area of Lost Lake Resort, Campground and Day Use Area from Late-successional Reserve (LSR), and reallocate more appropriate areas as LSR.

This project seeks to improve forest health and diversity in plantations. In addition, this project seeks to reduce excessive fuel loading primarily along forest roads. Approximately 4,000 acres may be proposed for vegetation and fuels treatments.

The project proposes to conduct commercial and non-commercial fuels and vegetation treatments on approximately 19,000 acres.

The Long Prairie Allotment Decision Notice was signed in 2005. A Reevaluation of Environmental Documents (7 CFR 1b.9 (r)) was conducted to evaluate grazing on the Long Prairie Pasture within the allotment.

Install fiber communication cable along existing roads, to provide high speed internet to the Ripplebrook administrative site.

To improve connectivity between Summit Pass and Timberline Lodge, enhance skiing experience, and improve communications, the following is proposed: replacement of Summit Pass chairlift and new chairlift construction, ski terrain improvements, and fiber optic cable installation.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received nominations of National Forest System lands to be considered for a future, competitive geothermal lease sale. The Forest Service is considering whether to consent to the BLM to lease these lands.

The purpose of this project is to restore forest health and resiliency on 110 acres of selected plantations.

The proposed action is reconstruction of the existing spring box, redevelopment of the existing spring, and installation of a new distribution main from the spring box to the Cloud Cap Saddle Campground, Cloud Cap Inn and Snowshoe Cabin.

The project seeks to improve forest health and diversity on approximately 3,225 acres within the Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River watershed.
