  • September 29, 2014 Land Management Plan Revision USDA
    September 29, 2014 Land Management Plan Revision USDA Forest Service Ecosystem Planning Staff 1323 Club Drive Vallejo, CA 94592 Submitted via Region 5 website Re: Comments on Notice of Intent and Detailed Proposed Action for the Forest Plan Revisions on the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests To the Forest Plan Revision Team: These comments are provided on behalf of Sierra Forest Legacy and the above conservation organizations. We have reviewed the Notice of Intent (NOI), detailed Proposed Action (PA), and supporting materials posted on the Region 5 planning website and offer the following comments on these documents. We have submitted numerous comment letters since the forest plan revision process was initiated for the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra national forests. Specifically, we submitted comment letters on the forest assessments for each national forest (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013a, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013b, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2013c), comments on two need for change documents (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014a, Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014b) and comments on detailed desired conditions (Sierra Forest Legacy et al. 2014c). We incorporate these comments by reference and attach the letters to these scoping comments. We have included these letters in our scoping comments because significant issues that we raised in these comments have not yet been addressed in the NOI, or the detailed PA creates significant conflict with resource areas on which we commented. Organization of Comments The following comments address first the content of the NOI, including the purpose and need for action, issues not addressed in the scoping notice, and regulatory compliance of the PA as written.

C. March 1954 INTRODUCTION Ecological studies of the genus Ribes have been in progress in northern California for more than 20 years. A thorough under- standing of the ecology of native ribes in general, and of the Sierra Nevada gooseberry (Ribes roezli Regel) in particular, is necessary in connection with the control of the white pine blister rust in California. This disease of five-needled pines, caused by the fungus Cronartium ribicola Fischer growing on ribes as its alternate host, threatens to destroy sugar pine (Pinus lamberliana Dougi.) on about a million and a half acres of forest land that supports sufficient sugar pine to make rust control economical. Some of the conclusions from these studies are based on extensive field observations. For the most part, however, they are related directly to analyses of field data collected from several series of plots in California from 1936 to 1949.

  • Now It's 'Healthy Air Living' Air District Launches New, More Aggressive Educational Effort
    Fresno Bee editorial, Tuesday, June 24, 2008: Now it's 'Healthy Air Living' Air district launches new, more aggressive educational effort. Spare the Air days have had their day. Now it's time for Healthy Air Living. The Valley air district is about to embark on a new, more aggressive effort to get residents to make the sort of lifestyle changes we must have in order to have cleaner air to breathe. The new program will kick off with Healthy Air Living Week, July 7-13. It's not that Spare the Air was a failure. That program did a great deal to create awareness of the scope and difficulty involved in cleaning the Valley's polluted air. But it was, in the words of the air district's director, "episodic" in nature, tied to the very worst air days in the region. Healthy Air Living, by contrast, will seek to promote changes in everyday behavior. It's major goals: Reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled through the Valley each day. The district will issue a challenge to Valley residents, business and other organizations to "Commute green in the San Joaquin," by encouraging the use of mass transit, car and van pools and greater reliance on bicycles, electric scooters, walking and telecommuting. Reduce emissions from equipment and other operations. Reduce emissions when air quality is poor. An example might be shifting employee schedules so more work is performed in the early morning and evening, when the air quality is better, and reducing activity when pollution peaks. Encourage more use of alternative fuels and equipment, raise energy efficiency.
