Tahoe 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.
Construction, installation, operation, use, and maintenance of buried fiber optic cable in the California Department of Transportation's right-of-way along Interstate 80 for approximately 43,653 feet.
The project will restore and protect critical ecosystems including meadow and stream habitat, reduce hazardous accumulations of surface and ladder fuels, reduce the risk of high severity wildfire, improve forest eco-system heath and tree vigor, reduce stand densities, and increase resilience.
The proposed action includes constructing 2.17 miles of new equestrian and pedestrian trail, upgrading 0.6 miles of existing user created trails to official system trails, and decommissioning 0.27 miles of user created trails. The project aims to reduce crowding and decrease user conflicts.
Project to reduce wildfire risk along 2.5 miles of the South Yuba Canal on Forest Service land. Clear small trees and brush, thin larger trees, and remove hazards. Wood will be chipped, burned, or hauled away. Link to documents: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/iug64fkb6w2pdr8qbxk5ks6hec3janag
Improve and restore forest health and resilience, reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire, protect and secure water supplies, and protect communities from the effects of high-severity wildfire on approximately 210,000 acres of National Forest Land. Multiple decisions to result from one EIS.
Work will include the installation of two new poles with weather station equipment. Each pole will be approximately 30 feet in length and installed to a max depth of six feet. To review Project Records please go to this link: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/jy9bhrqa6iohm9edh080fzc5msy8up5i
Thinning and sanitation harvest, road actions, remove hazardous fuels, reforestation, control competing vegetation, restore water sources or infrastructure, and Project-specific amendments to the Forest Plan.
Amend Foresthill PUD's Special Use Permit for Sugar Pine Reservoir for installation of radial gates to increase water storage capacity (EIS). This will be a joint analysis with the state project to extend the PUD's water right permit (EIR).
Proposed designation of select trails as open to Class 1 E-Bikes within Tahoe National Forest. ELMS Project ID# 302695. (Was originally PALS Project ID# 66218.)
Use of a non-system road to access adjacent private property. To view proposal documents visit: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/foe4qzfrwyjylxeiiinso62ue24x4403
