Headwaters Forest Reserve, California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management in Partnership with California 
Department of Fish and Game.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the adoption of a 
Management Plan for the Headwaters Forest Reserve in the northcoast 
area of California is the result of the acquisition of the property by 
the U.S. Department of the Interior and the State of California by 
purchase in March 1999. The Federal legislation creating the Reserve 
prescribes management issues that the plan must address (1997 Interior 
Appropriations Bill). Land and resource management alternatives will be 
formulated to address the required

issues in different ways that are consistent with the preservation of 
ecological integrity and other policy direction specified in the 
legislation. The ``no action'' alternative will consist of continuation 
of the current interim management strategy, established in 1999.

DATES: Three public meetings are scheduled to solicit public input for 
plan implementation and to impact the assessment of planning 
alternatives: Eureka, California: June 13, 2000 at the Eureka Inn, 518 
7th Street, Eureka, California; San Francisco, California: June 20, 
2000 at Fort Mason, Landmark Building A, San Francisco, California;

Center, 6151 H Street, Sacramento, California.
