SOPA Reports
The Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA) contains a list of proposed
actions for Fishlake National Forest that will soon begin or are currently undergoing environmental
analysis and documentation. It provides information so that you can become
aware of and indicate your interest in specific proposals. We encourage your
early and ongoing involvement in any proposals of interest to you.
Project ID 66361 was Cancelled because the same project (#66362) already exists on the SOPA. Those interested in information related to this project, should refer to project 66362. Project 66361 will appear on the SOPA for one quarter before removed.
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.
The Beaver Ranger District is proposing to improve and expand parking lots along SR 153 in Beaver Canyon, grooming winter routes, increasing size class of some OHV trails, and improving SR 153 from Puffer Lake parking area to Timid Springs.
The Fremont River Ranger District is proposing vegetation and habitat improvement projects to improve landscape health and resiliency to support wildlife, aquatic, and watershed resources.
The Fishlake National Forest proposes to consent to lease (with stipulations) through the BLM, three parcels for geothermal resources. The three lease parcels encompass NFS lands open to fluid mineral leasing.
Install three water troughs and approximately two miles of pipe which would be plumbed into the existing Ebbs Spring Pipeline. The new pipeline and water troughs would help improve the distribution of livestock and wildlife grazing.
The Fillmore Ranger District will analyze three alternatives to inform a decision of grazing management on Flat Canyon Allotment. Proposed alternatives include current management (winter sheep grazing), conversion to cattle grazing, and no grazing.
The purpose of this proposal is to reintroduce fire to fire-adapted ecosystems within the forest. There is a need to take action to improve the health and resiliency of vegetation communities and wildlife habitats and increase public safety.
Fishlake NF is proposing a forest-wide prescribed fire project to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfires, increase resilience of existing vegetation groups, and improve ecological function in native vegetation communities and wildlife habitats
The U.S. Forest Service, Fishlake National Forest, Richfield Ranger District, is proposing to reauthorize livestock grazing on the Koosharem, Rock Springs, Dry Lake, and Hunts Lake Allotments.
The Richfield Ranger District has proposed the construction of a monitoring exclosure within Manning Creek Allotment to better understand the impacts of grazing by wildlife, livestock, and the combination of both. The study will cover approx.2 acres.
The Forest is proposing the construction of a flood detention basin and a conveyance channel at the mouth of Flat Canyon. Flood flows that enter the Sevier Valley and canals may result in overtop or breach, threatening loss of life and property.
The proposed action includes activities designed to stabilize areas along Bullion Canyon Road effected by the 2024 Silver King wildfire. These measures include flood mitigation measures to protect the town of Marysvale.
The Fishlake National Forest is preparing an EIS to evaluate and disclose the potential environmental effects from proposing to authorize livestock grazing on the Dry Lake, Forshea, Kingston, Koosharem, Manning Creek, and Rock Springs Allotments.
Construction of research study plots approximately 31' x 31' in size within the 10 Mile Allotment. The plots will look at mountain mahogany and sage brush vegetation types. The research study will cover approximate 0.10 acres.
Fishlake National Forest proposes to authorize a special use permit to Utah Communications Authority for the installation of a new communications tower at the existing Triangle Mountain communications site to provide public safety radio coverage.
