DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Intermountain Region, Payette National 

Forest, Council Ranger District; Idaho; 

Mill Creek—Council Mountain 

Landscape Restoration Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Council Ranger District of 

the Payette National Forest will prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS) for the Mill Creek—Council 

Mountain Landscape Restoration 

Project. The approximate 51,900 acre 

project area is located about two miles 

east of Council, Idaho. The Mill Creek— 

Council Mountain Landscape 

Restoration Project proposes to improve 

wildlife habitat, reduce wildland fire 

hazard, encourage woody biomass 

utilization, contribute to the economic 

vitality of the communities adjacent to 

the Payette National Forest, and 

improve watershed conditions through a 

variety of activities including 

commercial and noncommercial 

vegetation management and road system 

modifications and maintenance. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by July 

6, 2010. The draft environmental impact 

statement is expected December 2010 

and the final environmental impact 

statement is expected May 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

P.O. Box 567, Council, ID 83612. 

Comments may also be sent via e-mail 

to comments-intermtn-payettecouncil@fs.fed.us, or via facsimile to 

208–253–0109. 

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. 

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Penny, Project Team Leader, 208– 

253–0164. Individuals who use 

telecommunication devices for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Information 

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The Purpose of the project is to: (1) 

Improve wildlife habitat for whiteheaded woodpeckers, by restoring 

appropriate forested stands to historical 

range of variability, and improve habitat 

for other wildlife species as appropriate; 

(2) reduce wildland fire hazard in 

forested stands with conditions that 

depart from the historical range of 

variability; (3) encourage woody 

biomass utilization as a revenue source 

to for restoration goals; and (4) 

contribute to the economic vitality of 

the communities adjacent to the Payette 

NF. 

Land management activities over the 

last century, such as fire suppression, 

timber harvest (especially large diameter 

ponderosa pine) and road construction 

have affected forest, grassland, 

shrubland plant species composition 

and structure, and watershed 

conditions. The need for this action is 

move landscape conditions toward the 

historical range of variability, and to 

meet 2003 Payette National Forest Land 

and Resource Management Plan (Forest 

Plan) direction. 

Proposed Action 

The Proposed Action includes the 

following restoration treatments: (1) 

Harvesting of sawtimber and biomass 

(woody material not meeting sawtimber 

specifications) on 4,800 acres by 

thinning from below to reduce tree 

density, crown spacing, and ladder fuels 

followed by underburning to promote 

ponderosa pine and other fire-resistant 

tree species reproduction, reduce nonfire resistant vegetation, and reduce fuel 

accumulation; (2) harvesting sawtimber 

and biomass on 700 acres by 

regeneration harvest treatments 

followed by prescribed burning to 

promote fire resistant tree species 

reproduction, reduce non-fire resistant 

vegetation, and reduce fuel 

accumulation; (3) underburn 2,800 acres 

of additional timber vegetated stands 

not proposed for harvest and use 

planned wildland fire on 12,100 acres of 

grass, brush, scattered timber or quaking 

aspen stands; and (4) thinning of 4,500 

acres of tree plantations which would 

include some removal of biomass. 

Harvesting activities would be 

accomplished using tractor, tractor/ 

jammer, and skyline methods. Skid 

trails would be designated to 

concentrate use in a limited amount of 

areas and reclaimed following harvest. 

There would be no harvest within 30’ of 

intermittent streams or within 120’ of 

perennial streams. There would be no 

equipment entry in riparian 

conservation areas (RCAs) except on 

existing roads or skid trails approved of 

in advance by the District Hydrologist or 

Fisheries Biologist. 

To facilitate access, approximately 6 

miles of temporary roads would be 

constructed where needed to access 

harvest units and landings and 

decommissioned after use. 

Approximately 5 miles of existing nonNational Forest System roads would be 

converted to National Forest Service 

System roads. There would be no 

permanent road construction in the 

project area with this proposal. 

To improve watershed conditions and 

fisheries habitat, the proposed action 

includes: (1) The upgrade of culverts 

that are undersized and restrict passage 

of fish and other aquatic organisms, (2) 

road improvement such as improving 

drainage and surfacing and (3) the 

decommission of old roadbeds that are 

not needed for future management or 

public access to reduce levels of soils 

impacts, and reduce drainage and 

erosion problems. 

Lead and Cooperating Agencies 

Adams County, Idaho has expressed 

interest becoming a cooperating agency 

for this project and intends to submit 

such a request to the Payette National 

Forest in late May, 2010.
