I-90 Corridor Thin
The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed I-90 Corridor Thin Project is available for public review and comment. The project would commercially thin approximately 338 acres. About 6.7 million board feet (mmbf) of timber would be removed from 14 units ranging in size from about 6 to 86 acres. Ground based, skyline and helicopter logging systems would be used to thin these units. The proposed action would also include reconstruction of about 0.2 miles of road and construction of about 1.4 miles of temporary road. Temporary roads would be obliterated once thinning is completed. If implemented, thinning for the I-90 Corridor Thin Project would likely begin in the summer/fall of 2009, and would be expected to continue for three to five operating seasons. The project is located on the Snoqualmie Ranger District in King County, Washington.
