Harvesting and road construction in the summer would create minor impacts due to a short 

 operating period and restricted access. The proposed new road would not be visible from any open 

 roads or viewpoints. Few green trees are planned for cutting so the viewshed will not appreciably 

 change. 



12. DEMANDS ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES OF LAND, WATER, AIR OR ENERGY: 



Determine the amount of limited resources the project would require. Identify other activities nearby that the 

 project would affect. Identify cumulative effects to environmental resources. 



None. 



13. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS PERTINENT TO THE AREA: 



List other studies, plans or projects on this tract. Determine cumulative impacts likely to occur as a result of 

 current private, state or federal actions in the analysis area, and from future proposed state actions in the 

 analysis area that are under MEPA review (scoped) or permitting review by any state agency. 



The Goat Squeezer Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Big Slowdown Environmental 

 Assessment (EA) were considered in the cumulative effects analysis. ,.. 



In relation to grizzly bears, cumulative effects of timber management and road construction were 

 analyzed in the EA and Biological Opinion for the SVGBCA (USFWS, 1995a and 1995b). Timber 

 harvesting and road use related to the proposed alternative would be conducted in accordance with 

 this agreement {USFWS et al, 1997). 



IV. IMPACTS ON THE HUMAN POPULATION 



RESOURCES potentially impacted are listed on the form, followed by common issues that would be 



considered. 



Explain POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONS following each resource heading. 



Enter "NONE" If no impacts are identified or the resource is not present. 



14. HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY: 



Identify any health and safety risks posed by the project. 



None. 



15. INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND AGRICULTURE ACTIVITIES AND PRODUCTION: , 



Identify how the project would add to or alter these activities. 



Approximately 500 to 700 mbf of logs will be made available to the wood-products industry. 



16. QUANTITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF EMPLOYMENT: 



Estimate the number of jobs the project would create, move or eliminate. Identify cumulative effects to the em- 

 ployment market. 



The wood-products industry currently employs people in this area. Due to the relatively small size of 

 this project, the proposed action would result in no significant changes to local employment, but 

 would provide loggers with wintertime employment that may not otherwise be available in this area.
