IMPACTS ON THE PHSYICAL ENVIRONMENT 



11. AESTHETICS (continued) : 



Salvage harvesting and firewood gathering 

 would alter foreground views by damaging 

 vegetation along roads and leaving some 

 debris on road surfaces and in ditches. 

 DNRC's administration of salvage permits 

 would keep roadside debris at a minimum. 

 Middleground viewing would remain 

 unaltered. 



12. DEMANDS ON 



ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES 

 OF LAND, WATER, AIR OR 

 ENERGY: Will the 

 project use resources 

 that are limited in the 

 area? Are there other 

 activities nearby that 

 will affect the 

 project? Are 

 cumulative impacts 

 likely to occur as a 

 result of this proposed 

 action? 



[N] None 



13. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL 



DOCUMENTS PERTINENT TO 

 THE AREA: Are there 

 other studies, plans or 

 projects on this tract? 



^ Are cumulative impacts 

 likely to occur as a 

 result of other 

 private, state or 

 federal current actions 

 within the analysis 

 area, or from future 

 proposed state actions 

 that are under MEPA 

 review (scoping) or 

 permitting review by 

 any state agency within 

 the analysis area? 



[Y] The Goat Squeezer EIS and Soup Creek 

 Salvage CEA were considered in the cumulative 

 effects analysis. 



In relation to grizzly bears, cumulative 

 effects of timber management and road 

 construction were analyzed in the 

 Environmental Assessment (EA) and Biological 

 Opinion for the SVGBCA {U.S. Fish and 

 Wildlife Service [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) . 



14. HUMAN HEALTH AND 



SAFETY: Will this 

 project add to health 

 and safety risks in the 

 area? 



[N] 



15. INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL 

 AND AGRIBULTURAL 

 ACTIVITIES AND 

 PRODUCTION: Will the 

 project add to or alter 

 these activities?
