Eagle Creek Wild and Scenic River Management Plan Environmental 
Assessment, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Baker and Union Counties, 
OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: On December 22, 1994, Wallowa-Whitman Forest Supervisor, R.M. 
Richmond, signed a Decision Notice which adopted into the Forest Plan 
the Eagle Creek Wild and Scenic River Management Plan which required an 
amendment to the Wallowa-Whitman Forest Plan.
    This management plan outlines use levels, development levels, 
resource protection measures, and outlines a general management 
direction for the river corridor. This amendment is necessary to 
implement the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act which required the Forest 
Service to develop a management plan for Eagle Creek. Interim direction 
was identified in the Forest Plan as Management Area 7 (Wild and Scenic 
Rivers). The environmental assessment documents the analysis of 
alternatives to managing the Eagle Creek Wild and Scenic River in 
accordance with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
    This decision is subject to appeal pursuant to Forest Service 
regulations 36 CFR Part 217. Appeals must be filed within 45 days from 
the date of publication in the Baker City Herald. Notices of Appeals 
must meet the requirement of 36 CFR 217.9.
    The environmental assessment for the Eagle Creek Wild and Scenic 
River Management Plan is available for the public review at the 
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Supervisor's Office in Baker City, 
Oregon.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Implementation of this decision shall not occur within 
30 days following publication of the legal notice of the decision in 
the Baker City Herald.
