SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.3-1 (d), notice is hereby given that
the Idaho East Zone Forestry Program of the Bureau of Land Management
intends to conduct an Environmental Assessment Record (EAR) to provide
a systematic and analytical evaluation of the potential environmental
impacts of proposed forest management practices in the Malad and
Pocatello Resource Areas.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray Brainard, East Zone Forester,
Bureau of Land Management, 1111 N. 8th St., Pocatello, Idaho 83201,
(208) 236-6860.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Assessment Record (EAR)
will provide proposals and alternatives regarding silvicultural
practices in the Malad and Pocatello Resource Areas, i.e.,
reforestation/species selection, controlled fire, commercial and non-
commercial thinning, calculation of allowable sale quantities, etc. The
EAR will not preclude or eliminate detailed, site specific
environmental assessments. All forest practice initiatives will
continue to require a site specific EA in addition to compliance with
the proposed EAR. Issues anticipated from the proposal include;
increasing road densities, C-2 candidate species, wildlife habitat,
etc. The following resources will be considered in preparing the EAR:
wildlife, soils, hydrologic, cultural, and recreation. The times and
schedules for public meetings and written comments will be announced in
local news media and to individuals and groups through the postal
service. Relevant documents will be available for public review at the
BLM, Malad Resource Area Office, Malad City, Idaho and the Pocatello
Resource Area Office, Pocatello, Idaho.
Dated: November 7, 1995.
W. Bernard Jansen,
Operations Manager.
