Forest Service to close down roads The U.S. Forest Service is planning to take out ot" service 4.2 miles of road as part of ef- forts to improve environmental conditions in the watershed of the Skokomish River. Officials of the agency are acting under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act in regards to Forest Service Road 2;]54300 between mile- points .5 and 4.0, with the first half mile of this road reserved for future use. Also proposed is the decommissioning of Forest Service Road 2354310 between milepoints zero and .7. These roads provide access to mixed-age tbrest stands on the west side of the main stem of Brown Creek. The roads do not provide access t,o any lrails, and their primary purpose is to pro- vide access to administrators of the forest and pe,'sons enjoying what the Forest Service relbrs to as "dispersed recr(,ation." Dean Yoshina, ranger of the Hood Canal I)istrict of the Olym- pic National Forest, indicated that this action will minimize the de- livery of sediment to areas in the Skokomish Rivet" system where salmon spawn and fingerlings be- gin their journey to the sea. , "Control of erosion and sedi" mentation will also benefit wa- ter quality and spawning habi- tat throughout the system doWW stream of" the project," he wro qlhere would be lasting and hmg-term benefits from rester ing the natural sediment regime within the watershed." The Forest Service plans to deal with inibstations ofinvasive phmts along the road corridor and then plant native vegetatiO to help restore the area. Yoshina wrote the benefits would be enjoyed by fish Brown Creek and the River system. The affected SI cies are chinook, coho and salmon as well as steelhead trout and cutthroat trout.
