<guid>http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/burns/plans/files/CaveGulchdecision.pdf</guid><description><![CDATA[During the summer of 2009, unauthorized levels of surface disturbance occurred along some roads and two track roads in the area of Cave Gulch.  As a result the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) must take actions immediately to reduce erosion from the affected areas and to prevent or reduce the levels of noxious and invasive weed establishment in the bare ground areas that were created.  The BLM must also take actions to facilitate the success of these stabilization practices.

The decision is to implement the Proposed Action in CX number DOI-BLM-OR-B050-2010-0004-CX (enclosed).  The holes in the disturbed two tracks will be filled, the soil compacted and water barred where necessary, and the disturbed areas seeded with a mixture of native plants plus crested wheatgrass.  The stabilized two tracks and the immediate area will then be closed to motorized vehicle use beginning at the end of the area's big game hunting seasons, December 1, 2009.  The area will remain closed to motorized vehicle use until the treated areas have met the criteria identified in the CX.  ]]></description><category>Burns</category><category>Categorical Exclusion</category><pubDate>Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:20:00 PST</pubDate>

<guid>http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/medford/plans/files/Bald_Lick_DNA.pdf</guid><description><![CDATA[This Determination of NEPA Adequacy documents an internal review process and conclusion regarding the adequacy of NEPA for the redesigned Bald Lick Timber Sale.  The original Bald Lick Timber Sale was offered for sale in September of 2005; protests were received.  Prospective purchasers chose not to bid on the timber sale.  The Bald Lick Timber Sale Notice was rescinded, nullifying all protests.  Since that time, there has been ongoing dialogue with those living in the vicinity of the Bald Lick Landscape Project Area to make progress towards designing a timber sale that would be more socially acceptable while meeting BLM's resource objectives as documented in the Bald Lick EA.  The newly designed timber sale, which is a much smaller subset of this original project will be offered for sale.  A Notice of Sale for the redesigned Bald Lick Timber Sale will be published in Medford's Mail Tribune Newspaper on or around October 21, 2009.  The publication of the first Notice of Sale for the Bald Lick Project establishes the effective date of the decision, for the purpose of initiating a protest period, for those portions of the Bald Lick project to be implemented through a timber sale.  Any protests of the Bald Lick Timber Sale must be made within 15 days of the publication of the Notice of Sale in Medford's Mail Tribune newspaper.]]></description><category>Medford</category><category>Documentation of NEPA Adequacy</category><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:56:00 PST</pubDate>
