Developing Proposal
Reforestation
Reforest areas burned by the following fires that impacted the Mt. Hood National Forest during the summer of 2020: White River, Riverside, and Lionshead.
White River Fire Salvage
The purpose of this project is to recover commercial value in dead and dying trees resulting from the White River Fire through offering them as forest products. The project would mechanically salvage trees on no more than 250 acres.
Under Analysis
Government Camp - Cooper Spur Land Exchange
The Forest Service would convey acreage near Government Camp for acreage of private land near Cooper Spur. This land exchange was mandated by Congress in the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009.
Mt. Hood Wild and Scenic Rivers Planning
The purpose of this comprehensive river management plan is to establish management direction to protect and enhance the river values for nine rivers designated in 2009. The plan establishes river corridor boundaries, user capacities and monitoring.
South Pen Insect and Disease Project
This project will reduce stand density and mitigate loss of trees from insect and disease-related mortality. The high density of trees, largely made up of dry, pine-oak habitat, has created a corridor where insect and disease can easily spread.
White River Fire Roadside Tree Abatement
This project aims to mitigate risks associated with damaged and defective trees along National Forest System (NFS) roads within the perimeter of or immediately adjacent to the White River Fire.
Zigzag Integrated Resource Project
Stands have been identified that need thinning to enhance health and growth. Changes to the road system are included as well as riparian enhancements.
Analysis Completed
Dog River Pipeline Replacement
The existing Dog River pipeline, which is an important component of The Dalles' public drinking water supply, is deteriorating, leaking from tree damage, and exhibiting corrosion. This project proposes to replace the existing pipeline.
Waucoma Huckleberry Enhancement
This project proposes to improve huckleberry understory across the planning area to provide for functioning stand conditions over time that would favor long-term huckleberry production and growth.
On Hold
Grasshopper Restoration Project
The Grasshopper project intends to enhance and restore forest diversity; reduce risks associated with high-intensity wildfires; improve conditions for wildlife and aquatic resources; and provide timber and other forest products.
Cancelled
Clear Branch Dam Improvements
This project looks to conduct dam-specific improvements as well as fisheries related improvements to support local anadromous fisheries.
Mazama Lodge Parking Area Expansion
The Mazamas are proposing to expand an existing 3-4 stall parking area located south of the Mazama Lodge on NFSR 2600530 into approximately 66 parking stalls and one bus pull-out, to mitigate a long-standing visitor safety issue.
Troutdale Air Tanker Base Conveyance
The area contains approximately 9.65 acres and is located at 503 NW Graham Road, City of Troutdale, Oregon. The property consists of two buildings and taxiway. The Troutdale Air Tanker Base is currently closed to all air tanker operations.
