As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering economic use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration.

Dear Citizen:

Project Update provides current information about projects planned on the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Salem District lands. It is our intent to increase the public’s awareness of BLM issues, activities, and opportunities, as well as generating ideas and comments from those who may be affected by our multiple-use management programs. Your ideas, comments, and participation help us make informed decisions and implement better projects.

Project Update is organized by resource area, and within each resource area, by type of project. Additional information can be obtained from the BLM staff listed as contacts. Please send written comments, including the specific project name, to the appropriate address listed below during the identified public comment period.

June 2006 Project Update �

Current projects are described in Tables 1 – 4. Fiscal Year 2006 timber sales are described in Table 5.

Explanatory comments concerning Tables 1-4: Projects are organized by project type, project name/description, location, planning status, and contact person. A project may include the following stages:

Developing Proposed Action -A site-specific proposal, called a proposed action, is developed to move the existing condition of an area towards a desired condition or result.

Scoping -Public comment is sought on the proposed action. Comments are used to refine the proposal, or to identify issues which will define the scope of analysis and alternatives to be considered.

Developing Alternatives -A range of alternatives is developed based on the issues raised during scoping, while addressing the purpose and need for the project.

Analyzing Effects - The effects of implementing the alternative(s) are determined and documented in an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement), EA (Environmental Assessment), CX (Categorical Exclusion), or DNA (Determination of NEPA Adequacy).

Comment Period - Comments are generally sought for 60 days on a draft EIS, and for 30 days on an EA, and FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact). There are no established comment periods for a CX or DNA. Comment periods are established commensurate with the anticipated level of public interest.

Notice of Decisions - Notice of decisions from an EIS and EA will be published in a newspaper in the area where the lands affected by the decision are located. They will be sent to those who have requested such notices. Notices of decision from an EIS will also be published in the Federal Register. Notice for projects which qualify as a CX or DNA will be available for public review at the appropriate field office.

Future Opportunities for Public Involvement

The next few months will be a busy time for the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Western Oregon Resource Management Planning Team. This is when the effects analysis for each of the proposed alternatives will be done. The alternatives will be refined using input from the public, BLM specialists, and involved scientists. Data will be gathered, organized, and prepared for each alternative. Environmental, social, and economic effects will be described for each alternative.

This extensive effort will become visible to the public with the issuance of the Draft Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS) in early 2007. The EIS will include BLM’s “Preferred Alternative” as required by BLM planning regulations. However, this “Preferred Alternative” is not the final decision; rather it is the alternative which the BLM believes best meets all of the laws considering the environmental, social, and economic impacts displayed in the EIS.

As we work through the required three-month public involvement process, we will gather input to help write the proposed resource management plan and final EIS. The BLM will be working with a private consultant over the next few months to design a public process for review and discussion of the draft resource management plan. We are aware that some of these issues are highly polarized and the final decisions will never make everyone happy. However, we are hearing from many of the key players that there are opportunities to reach some common ground within the legal constraints that guide our actions. We are hopeful that we can develop a process to move us in that direction.

If all proceeds as planned, the proposed resource management plan will become the “Final Resource Management Plan” in 2008 with six individual “Records of Decision;” one for each of the five western Oregon districts and the Klamath Falls Resource Area.

Stay Involved!
