Helena-Lewis and Clark 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.
This locatable mineral exploration project involves lands managed by the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Exploration would involve drilling on up to 127 drill pads, limited trenching, sample collection for geotechnical and geochemical analyses, and geophysical surveys.
This project would reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe wildfire, improve forest resistance to disease and drought, increase tree growth and vigor as well as improve wildlife habitat and watershed function across the Forest.
The Fulgham 1 Placer Project will collect and process bulk samples from an inferred placer deposit to confirm occurrence and better characterize deposit qualities and extent.
A vegetation and forest fuels management project within the Little Belts Geographic Area to reduce hazardous fuels and maintain regional timber harvesting and milling infrastructure that supports local business.
Park Lake Dam Reconstruction will include removing all unacceptable material, stabilizing the foundation, and reconstructing the dam in-kind using a homogeneous embankment. Signed FANEC available at: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/trj8raeqy2vljp7vacggql
