Abstract:
Currently the NE 1/4 of Section 5, Township 13 South, Range 8 West., is included in ROW Agreement S-347. The remainder of Section 5 needs to be added to restore access between the North Fork Access Road #12-8-19 and Fall Creek County Road (see Project Map). Plum Creek Timberlands lost their access when a portion (Segment H) of BLM controlled Road #13-9-23.1 was decommissioned. Due to an error of omission, a bypass route around the decommissioning was overlooked. This proposed action will remedy that oversight. The Proposed Action will also result in Plum Creek constructing an approximate 200 feet distance ridge top road within a 20 year old stand, and use of existing BLM controlled road across BLM lands in Section 5, Township 13 South, Range 8 West (Rd. #13-8-5 portion Segment B and 13-8-5.6). The remainder of existing BLM controlled roads (Rd. 13-8-5 portion Segments B and C-H, 13-8-5.3, 13-8-8.3 segments B1 and B2, and 13-8-8 Segments A-C) in Township 13 South, Range 8 West, Sections 5, 7, 8 and 9 will replace access lost when BLM controlled Road #13-9-23.1, Segment H was decommissioned.
In order for Plum Cr. to gain access to their land in the SE 1/4 of Section 32, Township 12 South, Range 8 West; the SE 1/4 of Section 29, Township 12 South, Range 8 West will be added to RWA S-347. For Plum Cr. to gain access to Sugarloaf Road, the proposed action will also allow for the use of existing BLM controlled Road #12-8-29 segments A and B, Road #12-8-32.3 segment A and a portion of segment B, and a portion of segment E and all of Segment F of Road #12-8-19.
