Projects

Small-scale exploratory drilling for hard rock locatable minerals within existing mining claims in the Dry Ridge area. The purpose of the project is to respond to the claim holder's submitted plan of operations for proposed mineral activities.

The Forest Service is considering amending its land management plans to address new and evolving issues arising since implementing sage-grouse plans in 2015. This project is in cooperation with the USDI Bureau of Land Management.

This project would involve reentry of approximately 7,820 acres of previously treated shrub communities with a hand crew using chainsaws to remove the encroaching conifer. Maintenance of the original treatments would likewise maintain habitat.

The proposed project would authorize prescribed burns across the Forest up to 24,000 acres/year. Treatment boundaries would be designed to meet objectives and move areas toward desired conditions. Wilderness, RNAs, private land, & alpine excluded.

This project would be an approximately 1,033-acre linear fuel break along the Blind Stream and Rock Creek Roads (Forest Service Roads 135 and 134). Proposed vegetation treatments include mastication, mowing, slashing, hand/machine piling, pile burning, commercial removal, and firewood cutting.

We are proposing to adjust the boundary of the Buckboard Marina's special use permit to remove water acreage and potentially add areas of land to the south and east.

This is a proposed timber, fuels, forest health, and safety project and would include approximately 3,458 acres of forested vegetation treatments, including in areas designated as a Utah Shared Stewardship priority landscape.

Reconstruction and reroute of approximately 2.4 miles of the washed out Cow Hollow Trail. The purpose of the project is to restore non-motorized access into the Cow Hollow drainage.

This is a proposed 308-acre linear fuel break on National Forest System lands adjacent to private lands in Davenport Draw.

The BLM issued their decision selecting Alternative D on 5/2/2025: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2016395/510. Alternative D does not involve any USFS lands so the USFS portion of the project is cancelled.

Thinning up to 7-inch diameter at breast height (DBH) trees from lodgepole pine stands across 796 roadside acres. The purpose of the project is to improve forest health and reduce the risk of undesirable wildfires.

We are developing a new management plan with direction for all resources and resource uses in the Flaming Gorge NRA.

This project is an evaluation of the effects of continued domestic sheep grazing in the High Uintas Wilderness, including five sheep allotments on the Ashley NF and five sheep allotments on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache NF.

This project involves constructing a new fence to accommodate anticipated future mining and processing operations at the Limestone Mine in the Diamond Mountain area, while keeping cattle and visitors safely out of active mining areas.

We are proposing to relocate part of a range fence to accommodate cattle movements and future mining and processing operations at the Limestone Mine in the Diamond Mountain area.

This project would involve waterline replacement and spring redevelopment to provide safe and reliable water to the Moon Lake recreation complex.

This is a Forest Service and Ute Tribe cross-boundary fuels management project to reduce the likelihood of undesirable fires, improve forest health, enhance wildlife habitat, protect improvements, and increase public safety.

This project would involve approximately 240 acres of fuel break and vegetation thinning work around the Summit Springs Guard Station to reduce the risk of high-intensity wildfire in this area.

The proposed action is to approve a Plan of Operations submitted to the Forest, which consists of a proposal to reopen and sample an old collapsed mine adit, in the Farm Creek area of the Ashley National Forest.

Approximately 12 miles of the 88-mile railway route crosses Forest Service (FS) lands. The original FS decision was withdrawn 1/17/2024 in response to a court ruling that vacated the analysis. Additional 2025 court rulings reversed the vacatur.
