Modoc 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.
Shaded fuel breaks extending 500 feet to either side of centerline, roads 42N30, 42N31, 42N43, 42N49, and 42N51. Disrupt progress of wildfire in Warner Mts. 15-25 ft spacing between conifer driplines; restore pine; masticate brush; pile, burn.
Increase habitat quality for mule deer, etc. Improve forest resilience to natural disturbances including wildfire. Reduce chance of catastrophic wildfire. Increase ability to control wildfires that may occur. Protect energy infrastructure.
Replace 2013 Devil's Garden Plateau Wild Horse Territory Management Plan (DGWHTMP) with new TMP based on recent law, monitoring data, and changed environmental conditions. Finalize Territory boundary, including Middle Section.
The proposed action would reauthorize the existing Egg Lake allotment grazing permit and maintain current management based on management in compliance with the permit and in accordance with the goals and objectives laid out in the Forest Plan.
Installation, operation, use, and maintenance of an aerial and buried fiber optic facility to service the Forest Service administrative site, Dry Lake Station.
