DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Gallatin National Forest-Hebgen Lake 

Ranger District; MT; Lonesome Wood 

Vegetation Management Project 2 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: This integrated forest 

vegetation management project is 

designed to achieve the goals of 

increased firefighter and public safety, 

reduced wildland fire risks to adjacent 

property and Forest Service 

infrastructure, and to enhance aspen 

forest communities that are in decline. 

Proposed forest thinning and associated 

activities target the removal of excessive 

surface, ladder and crown fuel. This 

project begins to address the fire 

behavior concerns that threaten life and 

property. The scope of action to be 

addressed in the analysis is limited to 

actions needed to lessen wildfire risks 

to life and property in the identified 

wildland urban interface/evacuation 

routes in the project area, and whether 

to implement aspen enhancement. 

A decision for this Project was 

withdrawn in November 2009 to 

respond to changed conditions related 

to a district court order effectively 

relisting the grizzly bear as a threatened 

species under the Endangered Species 

Act in the Greater Yellowstone Area. 

This new analysis will incorporate 

mitigation and analysis to comply with 

current direction related to the grizzly 

bear, and new information for other 

resources since 1.5 years have lapsed. 

Otherwise the proposal is the same 

project analyzed in 2007. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by July 

9, 2010. The draft environmental impact 

statement is expected July 2010 and the 

final environmental impact statement is 

expected November 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Gallatin National Forest, Attn: 

Lonesome Wood Vegetation 

Management Project 2, Bozeman Ranger 

District, 3710 Fallon St., Ste. C.,

also be sent via e-mail to: commentsnorthern-gallatin@fs.fed.us, or via 

facsimile to 406–587–2528. Electronic 

comments must be submitted in 

Microsoft Word format. It is important 

that reviewers provide their comments 

at such times and in such a way that 

they are useful to the Agency’s 

preparation of the EIS. Therefore, 

comments should be provided prior to 

the close of the comment period and 

should clearly articulate the reviewer’s 

concerns and contentions specific to the 

Proposal. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered, however.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The Lonesome Wood Vegetation 

Management proposal is an outcome of 

the Hebgen Watershed Risk Assessment. 

The main concern for this area is 

wildland fuel buildup in the area 

because there is a high degree of 

wildland urban interface and reliance 

on a single road for access in and out 

of the area. There are also opportunities 

to restore highly valued aspen habitats. 

Large crown fires with high fire 

intensity, dangerous flame lengths, 

rapid rates of fire spread and long 

spotting distances for firebrands are 

expected under the existing conditions. 

Prescribed burn units are fairly open 

with non-continuous fuels. Over time 

these open areas are slowly being 

encroached by conifer trees. The 

encroachment reduces the effectiveness 

of the areas as natural fuel breaks. 

Aspen stands are being encroached by 

conifers of various age classes. Conifer 

removal and/or prescribed burning are 

intended to reinvigorate aspen clones. 

The proposed treatments maintain or 

restore the characteristics of ecosystem 

composition and structure to reduce the 

risk of uncharacteristic wildfire effects 

in the wildland urban interface. 

Proposed Action 

The Gallatin National Forest proposes 

to reduce wildland fuel and aspen forest 

competition by forest thinning; removal 

of excessive dead and down trees,
