Lacy Lemoosh Draft EA Comment Period Legal Ad Coeur d’Alene Press Legal Notice of Draft Environmental Assessment 30-Day Comment Period for the Lacy Lemoosh Project, USDA Forest Service, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, St. Joe Ranger District. The St. Joe Ranger District of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests is extending the Draft EA comment period for the Lacy Lemoosh project. The initial legal notice was published on August 29th, 2024. Due to an error, the comment intake box was closed before the end of the comment period. To ensure compliance with 36 CFR 218.2 and solicit robust public participation in this project, we are re-opening the comment period for an additional 30 days. To ensure ample opportunity for public comment, interested parties will have an additional 30 days from the day after publication of the legal notice published in the Coeur d’Alene Press to provide comments. If you provided comments during the original Draft EA comment period, those comments will be considered and do not need to be resubmitted. The Forest Service is seeking public comments on the 16,116-acre project area, which is on National Forest System lands located in all or part of sections 12, 13, and 24 in T43N., R3W.; sections 1, 2, 4, 7, 9-28, and 34-36 in T43N., R2W.; sections 6, 7, 17-20, 29-32 in T43N., R1W (Boise Meridian). The forested project site is within the Charlie Creek and Upper Santa Creek subwatersheds, which are tributaries of the St Maries River and flow into the St Joe River. Objectives are to improve forest health and resiliency to disturbances such as wildfire, drought, insects or diseases; reduce hazardous fuels within the wildland urban interface (WUI) and other areas to lessen the severity of wildfires and to enable safe fire suppression efforts; provide economic benefit to local communities through sustainable use of natural resources and benefits for local communities; and reduce sediment delivery to streams from forest routes to maintain or improve Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) related water quality concerns and recover degraded aquatic habitat for native species. Vegetation management would include even-aged regeneration harvests on approximately 2,290 acres, creating 22 openings over 40 acres ranging from 40 to 291 acres. Prescribed fire would be used across approximately 925 acres to reduce fuels (logs, branches, and brush) that contribute to fire intensity and prepare for reforestation. Road work would provide access to units, help reduce sediment to streams, and improve aquatic and hydrological function. Contracts associated with commercial timber harvest would contribute jobs and other economic benefits to communities. Project information, maps and supporting documentation are available for review on the project website at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=60853. Additional project information can be obtained by contacting Amy Thompson (Environmental Coordinator) at amy.thompson@usda.gov.
