Coconino National Forest
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
Construction of a corral within the Shipping Pasture of the 13 Mile Rock Allotment that lacks proper range infrastructure for the permittee to manage and sort cattle. To view documents, copy and paste this link into an internet browser: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/i5qig15p186bbxd676ijx1zekt0ot0pp
This project proposes installing a 13-mile water distribution system. Activities include improving one mile of Forest Road 9473S, constructing one pump house with a diesel pump and generator, installing a 250,000-gallon storage tank, and installation of 13 miles of polyethylene pipe.
Installation of 55 miles of a below ground water distribution system on the Angell, Deep Lake and Youngs Canyon allotments including replacement of a 15,000 gallon catchment and trough at Elk Tank, and 30 trough installations throughout the allotments for better livestock/wildlife distribution.
Construct approximately 39-miles of singletrack shared-use non-motorized recreation trail to remove the Arizona Trail (a State Scenic Trail and National Scenic Trail) from its current co-location with National Forest system roads on the Coconino National Forest.
Improve habitat for the threatened Chiricahua Leopard Frog in Hackberry Spring by increasing surface water extent and pool depth in the reach of the channel downstream from Hackberry Spring. Project had been known previously known as #61802.
Decommission of closed forest roads 9736R, 9736T and 9710F to improve drainage, restore vegetation, and reduce the potential for invasive species. These roads are not designated for public motor vehicle use, but continue to receive unauthorized motor vehicle use.
Based on a review of forest conditions, approximately 639 acres identified for burn only treatments in the 4FRI Phase 1 EIS are proposed for additional mechanical treatment. This would include thinning Ponderosa pine and juniper trees in stands within approximately 1/2 mile of private lands.
Expanding the Western Gateway trailhead infrastructure, including grading and surfacing the parking lot; adding equestrian parking; and widening the Centennial Trail to make it ADA compliant. Project documents available here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coconino/projects/68445
