Proposed Projects

Utilizing management techniques including thinning and regeneration to reduce off-site loblolly pine in the project area and improve forest health, wildlife habitat, and overall stand condition.

Restore open areas on the Bois d'Arc unit of the Caddo National Grassland to better represent historic conditions of native prairies and oak savannas using mechanical, fire and seeding methods.

The proposed Caddo Land Exchange is a connected action to the Lake Ralph Hall Regional Water Supply Reservoir Project (Lake Ralph Hall Project), with approximately 351 acres of the Caddo National Grassland being within the defined project boundary.

Proposal to issue new Special Use Permit to Century Link for 16 miles of communications lines which were previously permitted to Sprint.

Proposal to to issue a special use permit for an already existing interstate liquid gas pipeline

The forest proposes thinning overstocked stands, prescribed burning, and planting of native species to reduce risk of SPB infestation and improve wildlife habitat for RCW.

Thinning project in Compartment 129 in the Moore Plantation WMA in Sabine County.

Salvage of trees in administrative sites, in recreation areas, along roads, trails, and boundary lines.

Houston County Electric Coop has proposed moving 3 existing power lines to new routes that would decrease their overall environmental impact, decrease safety hazards associated with fire, and allow better management of these lines.

This project is to add additional powerline to provide electrical service to a private property that is landlocked by National forest System land.

Proposal to combine and re-issue three Special Use Permits for approximately 25.75 miles of already existing powerlines to Mid-South Synergy. The lines provide service to multiple private land inholdings in several compartments and two counties.

Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) (RCW) habitat improvement project on the Angelina National Forest in compartments 1, 2, 6, and 7.

A midstory story reduction project for compartments 1, 2, and 7 on the Angelina National Forest. The project seeks to improve RCW nesting and foraging habitat within Management Area 2.

Pine first thinning in stands 20-40 years old in compartments 44,45,46,47, and 50 on the Angelina National Forest.

NFGT is preparing for an EIS to analyze and disclose effects of identifying areas available or unavailable for new oil and gas leasing, what stipulations would be applied to those available lands, and if any Forest Plan amendments would need to occur

Raven Forest Unit proposed development of up to 16 wells and 2 pads. The project takes place in compartments 29, 30, 31 and 33 of the Sam Houston National Forest.

The purpose of the project is to provide improved safety areas around critical infrastructure and to allow point source protection of that infrastructure in the event of a wildfire.

Treating approximately 1,695 acres in compartments 86, and 87 with a number of actions including longleaf pine restoration and prescribed burning. These actions are designed to moderate wildfire effects, reduce hazardous trees and fuel loadings.

Access road to private property

The NFGT plans to revise their land management plan as guided by the 2012 Planning Rule under a new completion schedule. This revision start and PALS# will be replaced with a new # along with new public notice and engagement at that time.

Issuance of a Special Use Permit for the use of NFSR 526 located in Compartment 7 of the Davy Crockett NF. The road is located approximately 8 miles northwest of Kennard, TX.

Designation of utility corridor for the installation of underground fiber optic cable and electric cable within an approximately 15 ft by 1,102 ft right-of-way.

access road to access private property.

Improve wildlife habitat by through thinning, understory mulching, and high frequency prescribed burning to increase the presence of fire-adapted grasses and forbs.
