The Emmett Ranger District of the Boise National Forest proposes to conduct hazardous fuels and insect and disease reduction treatments in the Murray Creek area.
Proposal for continuation of a placer mining operation as previously analyzed and approved. This DNA is tiered to the original New Start - JaBob Mining Project EA.
The purpose of the project is to reduce hazardous fuel conditions within the community protection zone and reduce the risk of destructive wildfire to the adjacent communities and infrastructure, including Tamarack resort
This project proposes to repair the Rice Creek. The work would include earthwork to regrade and reshape the existing road into a series of fords at all drainages.
Use a variety of treatment methods to control and contain noxious and invasive weeds within the South Fork Salmon River Subbasin. Separate decisions will be issued for the Payette (May 2007) and Boise National Forests (February 2010).
