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.
