Contact the Supervisor’s Officer 1-814-723-5150 Printed/photocopied on Recycled Paper EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Roads Analysis Background The North End Roads Analysis Project (NERAP) Inter-Disciplinary (ID) team, in conjunction with line officers and the public, used a six step process to identify important road related issues, discuss direct and indirect road related impacts, and make recommendations on the desired future characteristics of the road system. Roads analysis is not a decision process nor does it constitute a major federal action. The ID team, however, made recommendations in the NERAP report that may be carried forward in decision documents pertinent to the project area during a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) project. Step 1 – Setting Up the Analysis The North End Roads Analysis scale is project level. It is being completed in conjunction with the North End NEPA project. The NERAP boundary is larger than the North End NEPA project area in order to include roads that may be used for vegetation management that are outside the North End NEPA project boundary. The ID team analyzed the roads within the NERAP cumulative effects boundary – including approximately 55 miles of National Forest System (NFS) roads (also know as Forest Roads), 26 miles of municipal roads, and 76 miles of non-system roads, totalling approximately 158 miles of roads. In addition, the ID team included the analysis of two unroaded areas as designated by the Forest-Wide Roads Analysis Report (FWRAP) (USDA-FS 2003a). Step 2 – Describing the Situation The NERAP area covers approximately 22,062 acres (34.5 square miles) on the Marienville and Bradford Districts of the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) in McKean County in northwestern Pennsylvania. The NERAP area includes 15,896 acres of National Forest ownership in two primary Management Areas (MA): MA 3.0 (13,524 acres) and MA 6.1 (2,372 acres). The remaining 6,166 acres in the project area is non-Forest Service land (private, state, public, etc.) (6,139 acres) or waterways (27 acres). Step 3 – Identifying Management Concerns The ID team identified twelve road related issues concerning the NERAP area. They are as follows: 1) access for deer management/hunting; 2) other wildlife concerns; 3) management of existing road system (i.e., closures, illegal uses); 4) potential impacts to aquatic ecosystems; 5) access for vegetation management; 6)availability and management of pits; 7) road surfacing; 8) recreation; 9) Public Forest Service Roads (PFSR); 10) Oil, Gas and Minerals (OGM) roads; 11) unroaded areas; and 12) safety. Step 4 – Assessing Problems, Benefits and Risks The ID team assessed the various benefits, problems, and risks of the current road system. Resource specialists concentrated on project specific issues. Thus, the ID team referred to the FWRAP throughout Step 4 when a response to the question is typical for the entire forest, not site-specific to the North End Roads Analysis Project. By analyzing the direct and indirect effects of the existing road system, resource specialists made road related recommendations based on their management concerns. North End Roads Analysis Project Report i Step 5 – Describing Opportunities and Setting Priorities The ID team performed a benefit/risk analysis by using existing Geographical Information Systems (GIS) information. These results are illustrated in this section. In addition, resource specialists’ and the public’s site-specific road recommendations are summarized in Table 19 by road number. This table provides a side-by-side comparison of the aforementioned recommendations; consequently, it illustrates resources that are in agreement and disagreement with each other for specific roads. Each recommendation is identified as whether implementing it would require a National Enviromental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis or not. Table 20 summarizes limestone recommendations for NFS roads. In addition, through this analysis, the ID team documented general conclusions about the existing road system. Step 6 – Reporting In addition to the report, the ID team created maps (Appendix A) that thoroughly illustrate the existing road system, as well as potential new roads. Output from the benefit/risk matrix using GIS information is documented in Appendix B. Scatter diagrams of benefit/risk matrix output data in Appendix C help readers compare the benefits/risks associated with existing NFS, municipal, and non-system roads in the project area.
