Notice Jul 09, 2001

Environmental statements; notice of intent:

Title Type Published
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to work with the Foundation for Voluntary Land Exchanges (Foundation) to develop a land ownership adjustment plan (plan) and environmental impact statement for approximately 675,000 acres in the Coast Range area of the Umpqua River Basin in western Oregon. The plan will identify the following: non-federal lands or interests in land within the planning area (with concurrence of willing non-federal landowners) that are recommended for acquisition through exchange by the United States; federal lands or interests in land within the planning area that are recommended for disposal in exchange for acquired lands of equal value; and specific land exchanges. This effort is intended to consolidate land ownership to reduce costs of administration and achieve management efficiency. In addition, this consolidation should improve federal and non-federal land management and planning, enhance protection and restoration of listed species' habitats, wetlands, riparian areas, and other environmentally sensitive areas, and improve public access and recreational use, while allowing for sustainable timber production. Although the selected alternative will be consistent with the intent of the Northwest Forest Plan, some of the current allocations or management direction may be modified. The selected alternative will amend the BLM's Coos Bay, Eugene, and Roseburg districts' Resource Management Plans, and the Siuslaw National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, unless the no-action alternative is adopted.
