Forest Inventory and Analysis Crew Member Employment Outreach Notice U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station Resource Monitoring and Assessment Program GS-462-05/06 Forestry Technician Forest Inventory and Analysis Crew Member La Grande, Oregon; Mt Shasta, CA; Mammoth Lakes, CA PLEASE REPLY by May 31, 2015 The Pacific Northwest Research Station anticipates filling at least three Forestry Technician crew member positions at the locations listed above. Additional positions may also be filled at any of our 17 satellite duty locations depending on needs at the time of vacancy announcement . Please indicate ALL duty stations of interest on the outreach response form. About the position... These are permanent seasonal positions, consisting of 18 pay periods of full time work and 8 pay periods of non-pay status per year. Appointees may be offered the opportunity to work longer depending on workload and funding. These positions are career ladder with the full performance level at a GS-06. The positions are with the Data Collection Team of the PNW Research Station’s Resource Monitoring and Assessment (RMA) Program, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) unit. The FIA unit is part of a nationwide program which collects, processes, analyzes, evaluates, and publishes comprehensive information on forest and other related renewable resources. Administration for this Data Collection team is located in Portland, Oregon and field crews are remotely stationed throughout Washington, Oregon and California. These positions will support work sampling field plots located on a systematic grid across all landownerships and will be almost entirely field based. A wide variety of information is collected in the inventory including: tree measurements; forest pathogens, understory vegetation composition and structure, stand treatments and disturbances, down woody material measurements, and land ownership. The areas sampled for FIA by the PNW Research Station cover a diversity of ecological communities which include: the temperate rain forests of coastal Oregon and Washington, the redwood coastal forests of California; high mountain conifer forests of the Cascades and Sierras; drier ponderosa pine, oak woodland and juniper forests of Oregon, Washington and California. Each crew covers a large area, and no matter where you work, you will see a wide variety of country. Crew members work under the direction of a local crew leader and work alongside one to three people. Crews will use maps, aerial photos, and GPS units to navigate to permanent plot locations. Measurements taken by crews include: tree data (species, diameter, height, defect, insect & disease, damage, etc.); understory vegetation (shrub, herb, grass species and percent cover, etc.); down woody material (line transects, litter depth, and fuels measurement, etc.); and site index and site attributes. Crews use portable, handheld computers to collect data in the field and then process the data later using laptop computers to address any inconsistencies or errors. The field-season typically runs from early April through early November. Each crew travels frequently and independently within their duty station area. Crews can expect to travel away from home for a significant portion of the field season. Travel will sometimes involve week-long trips while other times crews may need to spend a month away from home. Lodging is generally in motel/hotels and car camping, with occasional backpacking required. In all areas, work conditions are often arduous. Work may be performed in inclement weather (cold, heat, rain, snow) and on rugged, steep, slippery, and/or brushy slopes. Significant amounts of on-trail and off-trail hiking are required. Crewmembers must carry a 45lb pack daily, with pack weights sometimes exceeding 60lbs. Exposure to hazards such as poison oak, bears, and insects is common. Additionally, travel by helicopter, stock animal, or boat is occasionally required. Duty Station information: Actual work area boundaries fluctuate yearly based on workload and travel outside the duty station area will be required to assist other field crews if necessary to meet program critical objectives. Work sites include forest land on industry, privately owned, tribal lands, BLM, State and NFS lands. One must be comfortable with remote work environments and off-trail hiking; the dramatic landscapes (though beautiful) can make access sometimes challenging. Long work days and long drives are unavoidable. La Grande, Oregon: The La Grande FIA crew traditionally covers a territory that covers the eastern 1/3 of Oregon and a bit of SE Washington. From Burns on the southern end and the corner of SE Washington on the Northern end, this work area includes the Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman, and Malheur National Forests. Wilderness expanses define much of the backcountry work including the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Hells Canyon, Monument Rock and North Fork John Day wilderness areas to name a few. This work zone has dry Juniper desert, high elevation sub-alpine fir communities and everything in between. This work area boasts Oregon’s largest Wilderness (Eagle Cap), the clearest lake (Wallowa Lake), the steepest tram (Mt. Howard), the deepest gorge (Hells Canyon) and the greenest valley (Wallowa) east of the Cascades. Community Information: La Grande is nestled between the Wallowa Mountains and the Blue Mountains, located off of I-84 in the Grande Ronde Valley. As Union County's county seat, La Grande is a vibrant small town community. There are seemingly limitless opportunities for camping, hiking, PNW FIA PSE Crew Member Outreach p.2 snowmobiling, mountain biking, swimming, boating and water skiing in the mountains, trails and lakes in the national forest. Downtown La Grande has a pedestrian friendly shopping district with the campus for Eastern Oregon State University just a ten minute walk away. For more information on LaGrande, OR, visit their website at http://www.el.com/to/lagrande/ . Mt Shasta, California: The Mt Shasta field crew covers the area of Northern California from the Pacific Ocean east to the Nevada State border. About 65% of this area is in the Klamath Mountain Province, with some work in the Siskiyou, Red Buttes, Marble Mountain, Russian, Trinity Alps, Castle Crags, Mt. Shasta, Lava Beds, and South Warner wilderness areas. Work in this region is challenging due to steep slopes and off trail hiking, but rewarded by the unique landscapes which the field crew visits. Community Information: Mount Shasta, CA is a mountain community with population 3,400 located in Southern Siskiyou County in far Northern California. Mount Shasta rests at 3,600’, approximately 9 miles southwest of the 14,179’ summit of its namesake volcano. A variety of outdoor activities including alpine climbing on Mt. Shasta, rock climbing at Castle Crags State Park, river rafting and kayaking on the Klamath River and its tributaries, trout fishing on the Sacramento, McCloud, and Pit Rivers, mountain biking on Mt. Shasta and the Klamath Mountains, and backpacking and hiking in the Marble Mountain and Trinity Alps Wilderness are available nearby. Interstate-5 is a major travel corridor running north-south through Mount Shasta. It is located about 1 hour drive south of Ashland, OR and 1 hour drive north of Redding, CA. For more information: http://www.ci.mt-shasta.ca.us/ . Mammoth Lakes, California: The Mammoth Lakes field crew covers the region from the coast south of the Bay Area, through the Central Valley, and east into the Sierras to the Nevada border. Work covers all elevations, including forest plots at the edge of the tree line, with forest types of coastal redwoods, oak woodlands, mixed conifer, brushy chaparral, red fir/white fir, lodgepole pine, white bark pine, foxtail pines, and subalpine krumholtz. The Mammoth Lakes crew spends a significant portion of the field season traveling away from the duty station. While much of the spring and fall is spent in hotels, the summer includes extensive camping and backpacking trips with long hikes in the Eastern Sierras on the Sierra, Inyo, and Sequoia National Forests as well as in Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks. Community Information: Mammoth Lakes is a small town in the Eastern Sierra at an elevation of 8000' and with a population of around 8,000, much expanded during the winter ski season. The nearest city is Reno about 3 hours to the north. It has world class recreation with skiing, rock climbing, fishing, mountain biking, natural hot springs, and borders Yosemite National Park.

  • 3.7 Air Quality
    COB ENERGY FACILITY EIS CHAPTER 3—AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES 3.7 Air Quality The proposed Energy Facility would use advanced combined-cycle gas turbine technology, clean-burning natural gas, and high-efficiency air emission control technology. Air quality modeling was conducted for the Facility using standard EPA modeling techniques and meteorological data collected at the site. Impacts for all of the criteria pollutants were well below the applicable ambient air quality standards. Therefore, it was concluded that no significant air quality impacts would occur near the Energy Facility. Cumulative impact analysis indicated that emissions from the Energy Facility, combined with those of other existing sources in the area, would not result in concentrations above the federally mandated National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) increment levels for the criteria pollutants analyzed. In addition, the analysis identified no cumulative impacts to visibility in Class I areas resulting from Energy Facility emissions combined with those of other power generating and related facilities in the area. The information presented in this section is based on the studies and analysis conducted for the SCA as amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2, filed with EFSC on July 25, 2003, and October 15, 2003, respectively. 3.7.1 Affected Environment 3.7.1.1 Climate The proposed Energy Facility would be located in the south-central part of Oregon, near the town of Bonanza, in an area characterized by dry, warm summers and cold winters. Climatic summary data were obtained from the Western Regional Climate Center Web site (www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliRECtM.pl?orklam) for a site at Klamath Falls, about 23 miles northwest of the Energy Facility site.

  • A Bill to Designate Certain Public Lands in the State of California As Wilderness, and for Other Purposes
    98 S.5 Title: A bill to designate certain public lands in the State of California as wilderness, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Sen Cranston, Alan [CA] (introduced 1/26/1983) Cosponsors (None) Latest Major Action: 4/23/1984 Senate committee/subcommittee actions. Status: Committee on Energy and Natural Resources received executive comment from Agriculture Department. Unfavorable. SUMMARY AS OF: 1/26/1983--Introduced. California Wilderness Act of 1983 - Designates as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System the following lands in the State of California: (1) the Boundary Peak Wilderness in the Inyo National Forest; (2) the Caliente Wilderness in the Cleveland National Forest; (3) the Caples Creek Wilderness in the Eldorado National Forest; (4) the Caribou Wilderness Additions in the Lassen National Forest; (5) the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness in the Stanislaus and Toiyabe National Forests; (6) the Castle Crags Wilderness in the Shasta Trinity National Forest; (7) the Chancelulla Wilderness in the Shasta Trinity National Forest; (8) the Cinder Buttes Wilderness in the Lassen National Forest; (9) the Cucamonga Wilderness Additions in the Angeles National Forest; (10) the Deep Wells Wilderness in the Inyo National Forest; (11) the Dick Smith Wilderness in the Los Padres National Forest; (12) the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness in the Sierra National Forest; (13) the Domeland Wilderness Additions in the Sequoia National Forest; (14) the Emigrant Wilderness Additions in the Stanislaus National Forest; (15) the Excelsior Wilderness in

  • Project Lakes 2005 Report
    Water Quality Review: Sierra Nevada 2005 Lake Monitoring Neil Berg PSW Research Station, USDA Forest Service January 2006 Draft Executive Summary Twelve lakes in eight Class I and one Class II Wilderness Areas were sampled for acid- base water chemistry, water transparency, and zooplanktons between mid-July and mid- August 2005 as part of Project LAKES, the Sierra Nevada lake monitoring project of the Pacific Southwest Region, USDA Forest Service Air Resources Program. In addition, twenty-nine lakes in John Muir Wilderness (JM) were synoptically sampled; several of these lakes are potentially good candidates for addition in 2006 to the long-term monitoring network. An intent of the monitoring project is to monitor lakes from all nine Class I Areas in the Sierra Nevada, southern Cascades, and northeastern California overseen by the USDA Forest Service (one Class I Area in the southern Sierra Nevada, Domeland, has no lakes). This objective will probably be reached next year when lakes from the last remaining section of one Wilderness (southern JM) will be synoptically sampled and one or more lakes selected for long-term monitoring. Four long-term monitoring lakes have records of between 5 and 10 years in length, long enough for preliminary statistical analysis for temporal change. A statistically significant decline in sulfate was identified for Waca Lake, in Desolation Wilderness immediately west of Lake Tahoe. The change is slight, from the 4-6 μEq L-1 range between 1985 and 1992 to the 2-3 μEq L-1 range since 2000. At Key Lake in Emigrant Wilderness, ANC dropped from 8-10 μEq L-1 in 2000-2003 to less than 1.4 μEq L-1 in 2004 and 2005.
