Abstract

This Environmental Assessment (EA) documents the analysis of a Proposed Action and the No Action alternative for the Mammoth-Duck Creek Recovery Project. The Proposed Action is designed to meet the following Purpose and Need within urban interface areas, Forest campgrounds and along designated Forest roads (Focus Areas): restore forest health by reducing bark beetle populations and protecting and retaining scenic vegetation; eliminate safety hazards by reducing fuels buildup and fire danger; manage habitats to maintain viable populations of existing native or desired non-native vertebrate species; and recover the volume and value of trees killed by bark beetles. The EA discusses the effects of implementing the Proposed Action and the No Action alternative. It also describes other alternatives considered but eliminated from detailed study. Mitigation measures to protect the environment and the public are also included in the analysis. The Proposed Aciton is Preferred.
