HFRA Public Meeting 

A public meeting on OWTFR was held at the Middle Fork Ranger Station on December 4, 2007 

at Middle Fork Ranger Station. The meeting was announced in a legal notice in the Eugene 

Register-Guard on November 26, 2007 and in the Proposed Action scoping letter dated 

November 30, 2007. Approximately 25 people attended the meeting, including representatives 

from Native Forest Council, Oregon Wild, Cascadia Wildlands Project, Cascadia’s Ecosystem 

Advocates, Hazeldell Rural Fire Protection District, and about 19 Oakridge/ Westfir residents. 

Who May File an Objection 

Under the regulations at 36 CFR 218.6 governing the Predecisional Administrative Review 

Process for authorized HFRA projects, only individuals and organizations who submitted specific 

written comments related to the proposed fuel reduction project during scoping or any period for 

which public comment was specifically requested for the project may file an objection to the 

project. Comments and responses are summarized in Appendix B. The following have qualified 

to object to the OWTFR Project Environmental Assessment: 

Alexander H. St. Claire. Submitted an email in response to the preliminary scoping 5/31/07. 

American Forest Resource Council. Submitted a letter in response to the Proposed Action 

scoping, 1/7/08. 

Bruce and Jan Moses. Submitted email comments on 4/12/07, a letter on 5/4/07, and another 

email on 5/23/07. Met with project team members to help plan design measures for reducing 

impacts to scenic quality. 

Cascadia Wildlands Project. Submitted a letter in response to the preliminary scoping 6/25/07, 

signed by Jay Lininger. Submitted a letter in response to the Proposed Action scoping stating 

there was nothing substantial to add beyond their initial comments, 3/3/08, signed by Jay 

Lininger. 

Cascadia’s Ecosystem Advocates. Submitted a letter in response to the preliminary scoping 

5/31/07, signed by Shannon Wilson, Samantha Chirillo, and Josh Schlossberg. 

Hazeldell Rural Fire Protection District. Submitted a letter requesting to see a map showing 

the specific areas identified for the subject project, 9/9/07, signed by John Milandin. Submitted a 

letter on 6/12/08 in support of the project, signed by Paula Hebert. 

Herb Wick. Submitted an email on in response to the Proposed Action scoping, 1/17/09. 

Greg Nagle. Submitted email comments on 12/11/07.

Roy Keene. Submitted a letter 10/19/07. 

Sharon Knoper Bertsch and Terry Bertsch. Submitted a letter in response to the preliminary 

scoping 5/16/07. The letter was in support of the project and requested the project be expanded to 

develop elk winter range. 

Stuart Phillips. Submitted an email comment in response to the Proposed Action scoping on 

11/27/07. 

The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. Michael Karnosh, 

Ceded Lands Coordinator submitted a letter in response to the preliminary scoping, 5/30/07. The 

letter was in support of the project, with some specific suggestions for reducing or minimizing 

impacts, and offered tribal support in the planning and implementation of OWTFR restoration 

projects. Mr. Karnosh helped plan restoration activities for several of the meadows. 

Opportunities for Further Coordination and Collaboration 

1) Grande Rhonde tribe has offered to help with prescribed burning, meadow restoration, and 

mixed conifer restoration. 

2) Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council has offered to help with Mule Meadow 

restoration. 

3) Consider enlisting student help from Oakridge School District to participate in Mule Meadow 

restoration. 

4) Consider enlisting the expertise of a group such as local Chapter of the Xerces Society or 

North American Butterfly Association in initiating annual or bi-annual surveys for mardon 

skipper in meadow habitat associated with project areas. 

5) Invite interested individuals and groups that attended the public meetings to participate in 

monitoring.
