  • East Zone Connectivity and Restoration Project Draft Decision
    DECISION NOTICE AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT for the East Zone Connectivity and Restoration Project USDA Forest Service, Tahoe National Forest and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Truckee Ranger District and Carson Ranger District Placer, Nevada, and Sierra Counties, California Decision and Reasons for the Decision Introductions The Forest Service proposes actions in the East Zone Connectivity and Restoration Project including motorized road and trail management, improvement, and restoration activities. Actions are needed due to: increased demand on trails; erosion; ongoing trail maintenance; poor trail drainage; fragmented trails; impacts to natural and cultural resources; and public safety concerns as described in the East Zone Connectivity and Restoration Project Environmental Assessment. The Project area is located on Tahoe National Forest System lands within three areas which have been determined to exhibit high levels of motorized recreation use on the Truckee Ranger District: Verdi Ridge, Boca Hill and Prosser Reservoir, and the Hwy 89 south / 06 Road / Big Chief area connecting Truckee and Tahoe City. Actions are also proposed to be implemented at adjacent connected locations on Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest System lands at the north end of the Verdi Ridge. The Forest Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the East Zone Connectivity and Restoration Project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other relevant laws and regulations. The EA discloses the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects that would result from the proposed alternatives. This document contains a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Decision Notice identifies the decision and the rationale for its selection.
