DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service


Diamond Lake Restoration Project, Umpqua National Forest, Douglas 
County, OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION:  Revised notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: On April 25, 2003, the USDA Forest Service, published a notice 
of intent in the Federal Register (68 FR 20367) and a revised notice of 
intent (68 FR 65240) to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the Diamond Lake Restoration Project. The original and revised 
notice of intent (NOI) did not identify the need for a non-significant 
Forest Plan Amendment (Amendment 5) for the proposed action. 
The Forest Service is revising the NOI to add a non-significant Forest 
Plan Amendment to the Proposed Action (Alternative 2) to allow the use 
of rotenone (a fish toxicant) within Diamond Lake and Short and Silent 
Creeks, which would not normally occur under Standard and Guideline 
Water Quality/Riparian Areas 8 (LRMP IV-60) and Prescription 
C2-IV Fish Habitat Class I and II Streams, Lakes, and Ponds (LRMP IV 
176-178). The non-significant Forest Plan Amendment (Amendment 
5) would apply to this project only; upon completion of the 
Diamond Lake Restoration Project, Standard and Guideline Water Quality/
Riparian Areas 8 and Prescription C2-IV would again apply to 
Diamond Lake and Short and Silent Creeks.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sherri L. Chambers, Team Leader, North 
Umpqua Range District, 18782 North Umpqua Highway, Glide, Oregon 97443, 
or (541) 496-3532.

    Dated: February 2, 2004.
James A. Caplan,
Forest Supervisor.
