Heading: Future Timber Sales

Text: [8] LOWD also argues that “there is simply no mention of future timber sales in the FSEIS.” Regarding such projects, however, the FSEIS states: “No other timber vegetation management activities are planned within this watershed within the foreseeable future.” As the district court noted, “this distinguishes the . . . Project from other timber harvest cases where courts found that multiple planned timber sales in one area required consideration of cumulative effects as to timber management activities.” See, e.g., Blue Mountain Biodiversity Project v. Blackwood, 161 F.3d 1208, 1214-16 (9th Cir. 1998). Accordingly, the district court properly concluded that the FSEIS need say nothing more regarding future timber sales to satisfy the cumulative effects standard.1
