Project Status: Planning in Progress
Office Location: Roseburg
Resource Area: South River
NEPA #: EA # OR 103-08-09 Decision Record
Document Publish Date: 6/06/2012
Summary: The BLM will place large wood, supplemented by boulders, in two reaches of South Myrtle Creek approximately one mile in combined length in the W½NW¼, Section 11, T. 29 S., T. 3 W., Willamette Meridian (W.M.) and the NW¼NE¼ and NE¼NW¼, Section 15, T. 29 S., R. 3 W., W.M. The work will be accomplished using an excavator operating from streamside access points or within the stream channel itself. The project is intended to reduce stream down-cutting, particularly in Section 11, and to provide large pool-forming wood that is lacking and has little potential for recruitment from areas adjacent to the stream.
