Siuslaw 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.
The project purpose is thinning stands less than 80 years old in order to enhance and accelerate old-growth conditions in Late Successional Reserve and Matrix areas. There are commercial thinning actions as well as road work, invasive weed treatments, and slash disposal.
Updating standards, guidelines, and other Forest Plan components for stewardship of the Siuslaw's four wilderness areas. Responding to changed conditions since Forest Plan approval, including designation of new wilderness in 2019.
This project would develop a strategy that allows an array of tools to be used for reducing invasive weeds across the Siuslaw NF. One component would add four new chemicals to approved use list, requiring a plan amendment. https://bit.ly/3RT9D4e
This project is intended to remove built-up thatch produced from a large patch of treated creeping velvetgrass (Holcus mollis) by mowing, burning, and other actions and to revegetate these sites with native plants sourced exclusively from Marys Peak.
This is a landscape-scale terrestrial restoration project in the North Fork Smith River watershed area. Activities include: plantation thinning, wildlife habitat enhancement, invasive plant treatments, and road improvements.
The NWFP Amendment provides an updated management framework that incorporates best available scientific information, considers public input, recommendations from the Federal Advisory Committee, tribes, and government partners.
Drinking water system replacement at Eel Creek Campground and South Jetty Area. Work at this facility would include waterline and treatment system replacement and well rehabilitation.
