Santa Clara River Watershed Invasive Plant Treatment Project
District Ranger Wilburn Blount signed a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact on 8/16/2013 approving this project. The selected alternative allows several methods, including herbicides, to control, contain, or eradicate plant species that are undesirable or that harm, noxious, harmful, or injurious. The project will occur for the next 15 years on National Forest System lands, within the Santa Clara River Watershed. The project area includes the mountains north and west of Santa Clarita, and south of Highway 14. Final project documents are available at the project link above. Hardcopies are available by request at the district office, 33708 Crown Valley Road, Acton, CA 93510, (661) 269-2808. This decision is not subject to administrative review (appeal) pursuant to 36 CFR 215.12, because no substantive comments of concern or only supportive comments were received. A legal notice was published in the LA Daily News on 10/30/2013, and implementation is underway.
