| EM-3100 | lmcclure2@mac.com | Opposition to the WOPR: Protect Our Ancient Forests | 1/7/2008 17:17:50 | Western Oregon Plan Revisions Bureau of Land Management
To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

Also there are other sources that would help to minimize the cutting of our forests. We need to grow crops that would save the forests from destruction. Industrial hemp has 25000 uses commercially. Why isn't it used for paper products? It was good enough for President Washington and our country way back then. It is grown as a industrial crop in Canada. Why is this plant only grown legally in North Dakota? There is no need to cut down those magnificent ancient forests. I am a laid off aerospace worker and have found other means of support because of the lack of work in that industry. I believe that the logging companies and loggers can limit their output of cutting down the forests and make the switch to growing and havesting industrial hemp. Like I said before it has 25000 uses. There are solutions out there, we just need to enforce the necessary changes for the betterment of our environment which ultimately affects our quality of life and the life of this planet.

This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. AS A RESIDENT OF THE NORTHWEST I AM ALL TO FAMILIAR WITH THE THE BEAUTY OF OUR NATURAL FORESTS, ESPECIALLY OLD GROWTH, AND WITH THE UGLY SCARS LEFT BY LOGGING. IN THIS TIME OF CONSERVATION AND SLOWING OF GLOBAL WARMING, WHEN SOME COUNTRIES ARE BEING PAID TO NOT LOG THEIR FORESTS, IT IS LUDICROUS TO BE LOGGING OUR OLD GROWTH FORESTS. I AM VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THIS PROPOSAL. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast.

p.o. box522 Randle, WA 98377 January 7, 2008 Edward Shepard OR/WA State Director Bureau of Land Management PO Box 2965 Portland, OR 97208 Dear Edward Shepard: Please accept the following comments on the BLM's Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Revision of the Resource Management Plans for Western Oregon. Because of the unique nature of the O&C Lands, by law these lands are not available to be part of a reserve system designed to recover a listed species. The BLM should consider active management for the protection of listed and sensitive species and their habitat before adopting passive, reserve strategies. The alternative selected by the BLM, however, should be one that will not jeopardize the continued existence of listed species within the species entire habitat range. The BLM must develop and analyzes at least one alternative that maximizes the amount of land in timber production and receipts to local county governments, and meets its no jeopardy obligation. When implemented, the Plan should live up to the full commitment that was made to local counties. Access should be maintained through BLM administered lands for private land access, fire suppression, as well as recreational uses, such as hunting, fishing, boating and sightseeing. In summary, the economic viability of our rural communities and the overall health of our federal forests are of vital importance to me. I ask that you give these comments full consideration as you prepare the final Environmental Impact Statement and select the final management plans for the Western Oregon BLM Districts. Sincerely, Terry Blattler 360-497-0586 |

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources.

To whom it may concern: I am writing to express my strong and absolute opposition to the BLM's latest attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at risk, this time through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided, completely unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean, salmon-rich waters of the region.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

Mary's Peak Chapter, 1420 NW Worden Circle, CorvallisOR97330 Western OregonPlan Revisions Bureau of Land Management PO Box2965 Portland, OR97208 January 7, 2008 As Co-President of the Mary's Peak Chapter (Corvallis) Izaak Walton League of America (IWLA) I am submitting formal comments regarding the BLM's preferred alternative for the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR). The IWLA is a national conservation organization founded in 1922 and dedicated to protecting America's outdoor recreation resources. The IWLA believes that America's future lies in ensuring our outdoors are clean and healthful for people and all fish and wildlife. Working through more than 330 local chapters, as well as nationally, we promote commonsense and practical solutions to conservation issues. The Mary's Peak Chapter (IWLA) has for many years volunteered time to both the BLM and ODFW for on the ground projects that include, but not limited to, repairing damaged riparian areas, following radio tagged deer and elk, bird counts, as well as, providing qualified volunteers to take tissue samples during hunting season. We appreciate the work that BLM staffers conducted to draft the WOPR together. Philosophically, the Oregon Division feels it is more appropriate to plan district by district. Though we understand that litigation has prevented a steady and secure amount of wood fiber to local communities as envisioned in the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP), the BLM's preferred alternative and other action alternatives essentially eliminates the standards set by the NEFP and the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS). There seems to be no middle ground or a variety of balanced alternatives from which to choose. Certainly, removing smaller diameter trees and continued harvest and regeneration in second growth plantation stands as well as removal of ladder fuels in urban-wildland interface areas should be done with high standards that adhere to the NW Forest Plan and the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS). Much of this can add a reliable amount of wood fiber to local mills and communities which is critical to local economies. RIVERS and STREAMS The BLM's preferred alternative will reduce streamside reserves by over 50%, which will open up over 200,000 acres of previously protected riparian forests. A significant reduction of "no-logging" buffers on fish bearing streams to 25 feet will damage riparian areas and harm our already decimated anadromous fish bearing streams, many of which are now beginning to recover. The preferred alternative also allows logging within 25 feet of streams for "operational" reasons. This riparian adjustment is not supported by sound science. The ACS that has been implemented during the last decade from the Northwest Forest Plan, has helped lead to the recovery of previously damaged rivers and tributaries. The Oregon Coastal Salmon Restoration Initiative (OCSRI) emphasizes the importance of the Northwest Forest Plan's ACS: "The Aquatic Conservation Strategy associated with the Northwest ForestPlan should dramatically improve fish habitat, watershed stability, and water quality over time. This is one of the major anchors of the OCSRI restoration strategy." (OCSRI Executive Summary age 10) "The NorthwestForestPlan is expected to substantially improve watershed health and salmon production on federal land and in downstream areas. The Aquatic Conservation Strategy and commitment to monitoring provide a cornerstone to the OCSRI." (OCSRI Volume 1 Page 7) Scientists have documented improved conditions in 64% of BLM and USFS watersheds covered under the Aquatic Conservation Strategy of NWFP, declines in 28%, and unchanged conditions in 7%. Considering that wildfires burned more than 30% of the watershed areas studied, this research shows that the ACS is working since 1994. (Reeves, Williams, Burnett and Gallo. 2006. The Aquatic Conservation Strategy of the NorthwestForestPlan. Conservation Biology 20:319-329) In watersheds under BLM jurisdiction and management, over 700 miles of streams are listed as water quality impaired under section 303d of the Clean Water Act. The most significant cause listed is water temperature (569 miles). Reducing streamside buffers to 25 feet could further damage our streams and fisheries by raising water temperatures. Additionally, by our count, only 5 out of 170 watersheds were evaluated during this process and there seems to be no evaluation for non-listed fish species. It's critical that all watersheds be evaluated separately because they are all different. It seems to us it would have been less complicated for the public and easier for the BLM to conduct these types of evaluations district by district rather than encompassing all lands in the western Oregonregion. The BLM and the US Forest Service are critical partners in the challenge to restore the northwest's salmon and steelhead runs. Following the important and science-based standards set by the Northwest Forest Plan and the ACS are an integral part of bringing back these important fish, which will help local and predominantly rural communities economically. We must not roll back important stream side buffers! WILDLIFE HABITAT Under the BLM's preferred alternative, Late Successional Reserves (LSR) or old growth stands will be reduced by over 40%. Current logging would be nearly tripled to total 14,000 acres of clearcuts per year. Many low elevation west side forests are made up of oak savannas, Ceanothus sp., and manzanita. Converting these low elevation forests to tree plantations will harm habitat for important wildlife species such as blacktail deer, Rooseveltelk and black bear. All of these species depend upon a certain degree of security, cover and winter forage in these areas. Much of western Oregonis excellent winter range for deer and elk and must be protected from development. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has documented blacktail deer migration with radio collars from the KlamathBasinall the way to the winter range near the Green Tops on BLM land near Eagle Point. Our general deer and elk seasons are already short enough and we do not want to go the direction of reducing hunting opportunities because of a corresponding loss of low elevation winter habitat. Building 1000 miles of new roads within the first 10 years of implementation of the preferred alternative could fragment wildlife habitat and further erode security for big game animals such as elk. Numerous studies in the past two decades at the StarkeyExperimentalForestand Range in Oregondocument the negative impacts of roads on elk. Many of these roads might be exploited by off highway vehicles and a spider web of new and illegal roads could spiral off of the new BLM roads. The current emphasis on roadless areas must be continued! OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES Within the WOPR there are some positive aspects regarding OHVs that we would like to emphasize. All of the action alternatives would remove the current 330,394 acres of "Open" area designations (cross-country motorized travel) in BLM districts, leaving a total of only 77 acres as Open in one location. All action alternatives include a net increase of 14,206 acres Closed to motorized travel, including new Rooseveltelk emphasis areas totaling 6,100 acres in the Salem District, expansion of the Table Rock Wilderness closure (262 acres), and the 6,608-acre North Bank WMA, Roseburg District. All of the action alternatives would limit motorized travel to designated routes, with Transportation Management Plans to designated individual routes to be completed within 5 years of WOPR implementation. This is extremely important. Designated routes and firm enforcement are crucial in this equation. All action alternatives do not default to wide-scale designations of OHV use as being "Limited to Existing Roads and Trails," as was the case in the 1995 RMPs, which left 949,882 acres with this OHV classification. The 1995 designations were, in application, essentially the same as "Open" area designations because in most cases BLM never undertook an inventory of "existing" routes and, consequently, does not to this day have a baseline for what routes existed in 1995. It is obvious that Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) use has "sky rocketed" on public lands during recent years. OHV overuse and abuse can fracture important fawning and calving ground for deer and elk, disrupt migration corridors for all big game animals and violate the security that many animals need, particularly in the winter when their stress levels are the highest (Rowland, Wisdom, Johnson and Penniger- The Starkey Project, 2005). OHVs also transport noxious weeds, and noise levels ruin the solitude that many hunters, anglers, horse packers and other recreationists seek. The WOPR DEI points out that there will be an annual increase of 27% in traditional, non-motorized recreation and only a 2.3% annual increase in motorized recreation. The focal point though of the WOPR is motorized recreation. The preferred alternative would designate 11 new and 2 potential "OHV emphasis areas" which would be an increase of 77,000 acres over the current JohnsPeakarea. Again, much of this would be in critical, low elevation areas such as Johns Peak, Illinois Valley, Anderson Butte, Lake Creek, Salt Creek and the Worthington Road/Obenchain road and several other areas in Southwest Oregon. If these emphasis areas are implemented, foot hunters, horse packers and others will not be welcome in these areas that will be over run with loud OHVs. Turkeyhunting, deer hunting, bear hunting and elk hunting opportunities could fade away in these areas. Current research from Starkey indicates that disturbances of big game from All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) exceed all other recreational activities such as horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking (Naylor, The Starkey Project, 2006). Both state and federal agencies can not manage OHV use to begin with so it makes no sense to create new "emphasis areas" that can not be managed. Unfortunately, JohnPeakprovides an example of an area where the land has been over run by use and abuse and local private land owners are fed up with much of the illegal activity nearby. Our view is that if the BLM can not police OHV abuse in certain areas then those roads should be closed to that type of use. Enforcement is a critical component. Setting standards by making examples of individual abusers will resonate with others. OHV "emphasis" areasthat we recommend be removed from the BLM's list: · Anderson Butte- 11,742 acres. There is extreme catastrophic wildfire danger on western side of this area, several areas of critical environmental concern and half of the area is located in very important wildlife habitat with anadromous, fish-bearing streams, adjacent private properties and historic Sterling Mine Ditch and Trail. There is important winter range for blacktail deer and Rooseveltelk as well as great opportunities for hunting turkey and quail. This area is located not far from the growing population centers of Phoenixand Talent and provides an important transition area for wildlife from the high Siskiyou country. · East Howard- 6,812 acres. Many horse back riders use this area and there is excellent hunting for blacktail deer, Rooseveltelk and black bear. · Lake Creek- 8,561 acres. This area has extreme wildfire risk, a critical environmental area and important wildlife habitat. Much of this area is winter range for Rooseveltelk and blacktail deer and there is excellent turkey hunting in the area. There are also several seasonal steelhead spawning tributaries that run through this area. · Worthington-Obenchain- 9,410 acres. This is one of the prime wintering areas for blacktail deer and Rooseveltelk with plentiful turkey and quail hunting opportunities. There are multiple seasonal steelhead spawning tributaries in the area and Little Butte Creek, which provides spawning and rearing for much of the Rogue River's salmon and steelhead runs, flows nearby. Much of this area has been trashed by illegal and abusive OHV use on and near the Green Tops and is now beginning to recover. Many local land owners use the area for hiking and horseback riding and there are increasing conflicts between adjacent private property owners and illegal OHV users. · JohnsPeak-This is already an emphasis area and because of overuse and abuse, fish and wildlife habitat has been harmed; there are many conflicts with private property owners and residents nearby. Many seasonal and year around streams provide spawning and rearing for summer steelhead and great fishing in the middle Rogue River. This area should be re-evaluated for OHV emphasis use. We do not have enough information regarding the other emphasis areas and can not render an opinion about them. AREAS of CRITCAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN Areas of Critical Environmental Concern are important habitats for fish and wildlife and offer people some outstanding and unique recreational opportunities. Under the preferred plan, many of these areas will be eliminated. Areas such as the North Santiam ACEC, Sandy River Gorge ACEC, Cottage Grove Old Growth ACEC, Umpqua River Wildlife Area ACEC, North Umpqua River ACEC, Jenny Creek ACEC, Rough and Ready Creek ACEC and the Upper Klamath River ACEC, must keep their status as they have already been evaluated as outstanding areas. We believe these areas should stay intact with a minimum of human disturbance. THE MARY'S PEAK CHAPTER RECOMMENDATION Because the final EIS published by the BLM did not contain an adequate and balanced number of choices, we recommend that additional work provides a document that offers a full range of diverse alternatives and retains protections for fish, wildlife, forests and streams under the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan. We also advocate that in a new EIS the BLM evaluate OHV emphasis areas district by district separate from the WOPR. . THE FUTURE Oregon's population is increasing to 4 million. The pressures of development and loss of habitat mount for our fish and wildlife heritage. Hunting and angling annually generates over $857,000,000 in Oregon(USFWS,National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, State Overview, 2006) with over 750,000 people participating in these activities. We encourage federal natural resource management agencies to take a greater stewardship role to emphasize recreation on public lands. Mining and logging is part of the multiple use mandate of our public lands but it is not only option that we should consider. Hunting and angling as well as other forms of recreation are long term and completely renewable. We owe it to our children, ourselves, our elders and the envir - clip_image002.jpg |

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: Unsustainability is the operative word when discussing this kind of forest "management." And it is 180 degrees in the wrong direction. There are alternatives--hemp comes to mind--that can provide much of what we've traditioanlly relied on timber for. I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources.

To whom it may concern: I oppose the BLM's attempt to put our nation's treasured forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). It's not Bush's land to sell so don't give Bush, a lame duck (aka neutered cowboy) any power. This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region.

This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.
