DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Diamond Lake Restoration Project, 

Umpqua National Forest, Douglas 

County, OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: On April 25, 2003, the USDA 

Forest Service, published a notice of 

intent in the Federal Register (68 FR 

20367) and a revised notice of intent (68 

FR 65240) to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) for the Diamond 

Lake Restoration Project. The original 

and revised notice of intent (NOI) did 

not identify the need for a nonsignificant Forest Plan Amendment 

(Amendment #5) for the proposed 

action. The Forest Service is revising the 

NOI to add a non-significant Forest Plan 

Amendment to the Proposed Action 

(Alternative 2) to allow the use of 

rotenone (a fish toxicant) within 

Diamond Lake and Short and Silent 

Creeks, which would not normally 

occur under Standard and Guideline 

Water Quality/Riparian Areas #8 (LRMP 

IV–60) and Prescription C2–IV Fish 

Habitat Class I and II Streams, Lakes, 

and Ponds (LRMP IV 176–178). The 

non-significant Forest Plan Amendment 

(Amendment #5) would apply to this 

project only; upon completion of the 

Diamond Lake Restoration Project, 

Standard and Guideline Water Quality/

Riparian Areas #8 and Prescription C2–

IV would again apply to Diamond Lake 

and Short and Silent Creeks.

2004 will only be accepted through the 

date and time listed in this Notice. A

announcing the level of funding for the 

program will be published upon passage 

of a final appropriations act in
