Forest Service

Exemption of Genesis New 

Perspectives Demonstration Timber 

Sales From Appeal, Malheur National 

Forest, Oregon

a g e n c y : Forest Service, USDA. 

a c t i o n : Notice to exempt decisions from

administrative appeal.

s u m m a r y : This is a notification that the 

decision to implement the Genesis new 

Perspectives Demonstration Timber 

Sales in the areas of Dixie Mountain on 

the Malheur National Forest is 

exempted from appeal. This is in 

conformance with provisions of 36 CFR 

217.4(a)(ll) as published January 23,

1989 at Vol. 54, No. 13 pages 3342-3370. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2.1992.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mark A. Boche, Forest Supervisor, 

Malheur National Forest, 139 NE Dayton 

Street, John Day, Oregon 97845. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: From 

1983 to this year an infestation of 

Western Spruce Budworm have been 

affecting major portions of the Malheur 

National Forest. To date, approximately 

420,000 acres are affected on the forest. 

In April 1991, an interdisciplinary team 

(IDT) surveyed much of the infested 

area to assess the damage to the 

resources that had occurred in the Dixie 

Mountain area. The IDT identified the 

need to salvage the timber which has 

died in as short a time as possible so the 

logs would remain merchantable. 

Merchantable timber in the area 

averages 12 inches in diameter at breast 

height with moderate defect. Rapid 

drying of insect-killed trees is resulting 

in cracking or checking, especially of the 

smaller diameter trees, which will 

quickly reduce value as sawlogs.

It is also desirable to complete the 

logging quickly to begin artificial 

regeneration as soon as, possible, 

establishing new stands more quickly.

The environmental analysis of these 

actions begun in September i, 1991.

After public meetings, and contacts with 

individuals and State and Federal 

agencies, the following major issues 

were identified: Silvicultural treatments; 

access management; riparian habitat;

soils and watershed values; visual 

resource; old growth; réintroduction of 

fire; big game cover; and logging 

systems and economics.

The Genesis IDT developed five 

alternatives to analyze, including the No 

Action Alternative. The effects of these 

alternatives are disclosed in an 

Environmental Assessment which was 

prepared for the proposal. The Proposed 

Action (Alternative A) would harvest 

about 2,943 acres of heavily infested 

land and produce about 13.1 MMBF of 

timber and 5.1 MMCF of wood fiber.No 

specified roads will be constructed and 

less than 1 mile(s) of temporary roads 

would be constructed. This alternative 

protects and enhances riparian and 

aquatic habitat by implementing 

helicopter yarding of approximately 980 

acres to reduce soil and riparian 

impacts.

Biological evaluations have been 

completed for all plant, wildlife and fish 

Proposed, Endangered, Threatened and 

Sensitive species within both project 

areas. All Biological Evaluations 

indicated that projects could proceed as 

planned.

The sale and accompanying work is 

designed to accomplish the objectives 

identified as quickly as possible and 

minimize the amount of salvage volume 

lost. To expedite this sale project and 

the accompanying work, and to prevent 

delays by appeals, the process 

according to 36 CFR part 217 is being 

followed.

Under this Regulation the following is 

exempt from appeal:

Decisions related to rehabilitation of 

National Forest System lands and 

recovery of forest resources resulting 

from natural disasters or other natural 

phenomena, such as wildfires * * * 

when the Regional Forester * * * 

determines and gives notice in the 

Federal Register that good cause exists 

to exempt such decisions from review 

under this part.

This project will not be subject to 

review under 36 CFR part 217. Upon 

publication of this notice, the Decision 

Notice for the Genesis New Perspectives 

Demonstration Project Timber Sales will 

be signed by the Forest Supervisor.

Dated: September 24,1992.
