DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
 

Ridge Area Timber Sales, Including Ridge and M&M Timber Sales, 
Okanogan National Forest, Okanogan County, WA

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 6, 1991, a notice of intent to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Ridge Area Timber Sales, 
which included the Ridge and Milk Timber Sales, was published in the 
Federal Register (56 FR 26048). The notice of intent was revised on 
July 9, 1992 in the Federal Register (57 FR 30463), and the title of 
the document was revised to ``Ridge and M&M Timber Sales.'' The 
majority of the analysis area for these timber sales falls in areas 
identified as Late-Successional Reserves in the Final Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement on Management of Habitat for Late-
Successional and Old-Growth Forest Related Species Within the Range of 
the Northern Spotted Owl. Additionally, the M&M Timber Sale falls 
within a Key Watershed. Because of the restrictions on timber harvest 
activities in Late-Successional Reserves, and on road construction in 
unroaded portions of inventoried roadless areas in Key Watersheds, I 
have decided to terminate the environmental analysis process. No draft 
or final environmental impact statement will be issued for the Ridge 
Area Timber Sales.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Direct questions regarding this cancellation to Arlo VanderWoude, 
Timber Management Assistant, Twisp Ranger District, P.O. Box 188, 
Twisp, Washington 98856 or telephone (509) 997-2131.

    Dated: April 20, 1994.
Billie Hansen,
Acting Forest Supervisor.
