Why is the project needed, and what CHAPTER 1 evidence established these needs? Chapter titles are framed as questions intended to focus the writing and to alert readers to judge whether the answers provided are adequate. For readers accustomed to earlier environmental documents, chapter 1 is equivalent to the "Purpose and Need for Action" section. The Proposed Project Introduction—The Forest Supervisor proposed the OHV-Sand Camping Project (the Project) to designate the quantity and locations of dispersed sand camping sites in the off-highway vehicle (OHV) areas (Management Areas 10B and 10C) of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA). The Forest Supervisor also proposed to build a new staging area facility in the Horsfall area (Bark Road; Management Area 10D). Implementation of the permit system for designated sand-camping sites is expected to begin January 2005. Building the staging area will occur when funding is secured, possibly three years from now. Sand camping and the staging area activities are connected actions because the proposed staging area facility occupies sites that have been used as sand camps in the past. In addition, both of these uses affect the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) class of semi-primitive motorized recreation experience, serve the needs of off-highway vehicle users, and affect the natural resources of the area. The proposed project is designed to address the problems discussed in The Problems To Be Addressed. As mitigation for changes to existing dispersed camping and staging area opportunities, the capacity of the staging area would be greater than that described in the Management Plan for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (Dunes Plan; USDA 1994), requiring a non-significant amendment to the Dunes Plan. Alternative 4 is considered and displayed as the proposed project. Descriptions of the proposed project and other alternatives are located in chapter 2, pages 8 to 11. Relationship to the Siuslaw Forest Plan—Congress passed legislation establishing the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area for the purposes of “…public outdoor recreation use and enjoyment … and the conservation of scenic, scientific, historic, and other values contributing to public enjoyment of such lands and waters, …” (PL92-260). The Siuslaw Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Siuslaw Forest Plan; USDA 1990), as amended by the Northwest Forest Plan (USDA, USDI 1994b) and the Dunes Plan, described the resource management practices, levels of management, and suitability of Forest lands for resource management. On the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, it established: • Multiple-use goals and ecosystem management objectives; • Standards and guidelines to fulfill requirements of the National Forest Management Act of 1976; • Separate management areas with different resource emphases; and 1 Why is the project needed? • Management area direction, including management area prescriptions and standards and guidelines for management activities in specific management areas. All relevant aspects of the amended Siuslaw Forest Plan—such as management area standards and guidelines—apply to this project. Thus, this assessment is tiered to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Siuslaw National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (USDA 1990), as amended by the Final Environmental Impact Statement on Management of Habitat for Late-Successional and Old-Growth Forests Related Species Within the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl (Northwest Forest Plan; USDA, USDI 1994a), and the Final EIS and Management Plan for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (USDA 1994). Riparian reserve, as prescribed by the Northwest Forest Plan, is located in the project area. The Planning Area The Project area is located on the ODNRA between Florence and North Bend, Oregon and is about 55 air miles southwest of Eugene, Oregon (map 1). It involves about 12,440 acres of land managed by U.S. Forest Service. The project area is located in portions of Township 19 South, Range 12 West, sections 3-5, 7-10, 15, 16, 20-22, 27-29, 32, and 33; Township 22 South, Range 12 West, sections 24-26, 28, 35, and 36; Township 23 South, Range 13 West, sections 22, 23, 26, 27, 33, and 34; and Township

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The subject of coastal changes is of interest to many people living on or near the Oregon coast and, as a result, numerous interviews, only a few of which can be acknowledged, furnished much information not otherwise available. Valuable assistance came from persons concerned professionally with some aspect of coastal change. The staff of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, was most helpful, especially H. A. Kidby of the Rivers and Harbors Section, Lloyd Ruff of the Geology Section, Mr. Charles Oros of the Photogrammetry Office and Dorothy McKean, Librarian. Mr. E. Olson of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey located copies of old charts and other materials.Ralph Mason of the Oregon State Department of Geology and Mineral Industriescon- tributed notes on Ecola Park and other areas.

  • LANE COUNTY OREGON MULTI-JURISDICTION HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Page | 46
    3. RISK ASSESSMENT 44 CFR Requirement §201.6(c) (2) [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards The purpose of risk assessment is to identify and describe hazards that affect Lane County and analyze potential losses for human life and material assets. Through better understanding of potential hazards and the degree of risk they pose, more successful mitigation strategies can be developed and implemented. This risk assessment follows the four-step process described in the FEMA publication 386-2, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses, listed as follows: Step 1: Identify Hazards Step 2: Profile Hazard Events Step 3: Inventory Assets Step 4: Estimate Losses This section is organized into three subsections that address the four steps of the risk assessment process. 3.1 Identifying Hazards. This subsection addresses Step 1 and lists the hazards considered during the planning process and those ultimately profiled in the plan. It also describes methods, definitions and data sources used for the hazard identification and profile process. 3.2 Hazard Profile. This subsection addresses Step 2 and presents a detailed outline for each identified hazard.
