Dear Interested Party,
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Eugene District, Upper Willamette Resource Area has begun
planning for the Lost Creek Environmental Assessment (EA) DOI-BLM-060-2015-0002-EA and is seeking
public input.
The proposed project is located south of Lowell, Oregon in T19S R02W secs. 35 and 25, T20S R02W
secs. 1 and 13, T19S R01W sec. 31, T20S R01W secs 07, 09, 13, 15, 17, 21, and 23, and T20S R01E
secs. 19 and 29. The project is primarily within the Lookout Point Reservoir-Middle Fork Willamette River
th
th
5 Field Watershed except for a small portion which is within the Row River 5 Field Watershed. The
land use allocations for the project area include General Forest Management Area (GFMA), Connectivity,
and Riparian Reserves. The attached map shows the general boundaries of the proposed harvest areas
and potential haul routes.
The project would be in conformance with the Eugene District 1995 Resource Management Plan as
amended. The forest management actions being considered within the approximately 1,890 acre project
area include commercially thinning up to 1,120 acres (including density management in Riparian
Reserves) and regeneration harvest up to 450 acres. The project would also include culvert
replacements, road renovation, road construction, and road decommissioning.
We would like to hear from you regarding any issues or concerns you feel we should consider in
development of the project.
Please submit your comments in writing prior to January 15, 2015 to: Eugene District BLM, 3106 Pierce
Parkway, Suite E, Springfield , OR 97477, ATTN: Kristine Struck. Comments will also be accepted by
FAX 541-683-6981 or e-mail [email protected]. Please include Lost Creek EA – Kristine
Struck in the subject line of e-mailed and faxed comments.
Thank you for your interest in the management of the public lands.
Sincerely,
/s/ William O’Sullivan
