TABLE B-1- SUMMARY OF DIRECT EFFECTS OF ALTERNA TIVES ON SOILS 



CUMULATIVE EFFECTS 



This alternative would have no cumulative impacts on soil productivity. No soil would be 

 disturbed under this alternative, and no reentry of past harvest units would occur. 



The salvage of proposed Unit 1 and the previously salvaged portion of proposed Unit 2 could 

 generate cumulative effects to soil productivity. The risk of cumulative impacts is low on these 

 acres since most of the existing trails are properly located and adequately spaced. As a result, 

 existing trails would be used, except where they do not meet current management goals. 

 Impacts to all proposed salvage areas would be kept to less than 20 percent of the proposed 

 harvest area, including areas previously entered for salvage. In areas not previously salvaged 

 or harvested, cumulative impacts to soil productivity would be similar to those described in the 

 D/rect Effects and Indirect Effects portions of this analysis.
