WOPR would be a tidily wrapped gift to the timber industry only and would have devastating effects on forest ecosystems and salmon habitat, not to mention future generations of humans.

Land managed in this way is often more productive and logged in a way that reduces fire hazards. |

The timber that is available for harvest by logging companies should come with strict conditions. Among these conditions are the following: (1) no old growth will be cut (2) clear cutting will not be done (3) herbicides will not be used. I feel that it is most important to understand that the value of our BLM forests goes well beyond their monetary worth in board-feet. They should be managed accordingly. |

It doesn't tell me WHAT is the name of the ACEC. The map also lies. It doesn't tell me that you will eliminate this ACEC. In fact, the legend for "existing areas" includes ACEC's that will remain in alt 2, and will also be eliminated in alt 2. The least you could do, BLM, is tell the truth, and tell the public which existing areas will be eliminated under your proposed alternative. |

Once I FINALLY got to the all important text, it wouldn't completely display on my screen - while all your introductory stuff did just fine. More good work from our government? ------------------------------ My comments: I have toured your logging sites in Klamath County with BLM presentors and have spent a career working in natural resource managment. I have seen many State Forestry and federal Forestry "timber harvest" operations and that is why I both fear and distrust future "timber harvest." They produce large blocks of stripped-bare land, damaged watershed and silted-in salmon and trout spawning rivers and creeks. No more, please! I am older and pretty well understand how current politics - our corporate oil government - and not sound forest management is driving forest, wildlife and water exploitation. I support whichever alternative that gives maximum protection and habitat improvment for endangered and threatened plant and animal species. Native animals and plants are very important to the general public and must be given top priority. I support the alternative that gives maximum size to, protection of and repair for of riparian and watershed areas. Water will soon be worth more than gold. I oppose any alternaitve that has clearcutting of the forest. At least 25% of medium and large size trees should be left on the land. That will provide improved natural revegetation. I oppose allowing tree cutting machines that leave great, deep and piles of earth and tree debries behind...piles of tree garbabe that they seem seldom to be burned later. Nearly all tree leavings must be shredded and blown back out onto the land...or used as biofuels. I oppose establishing new permanent roads into forest stands. Roads bring, unfortunelty but inevitably, punks with drugs, alcohol, loads of garbage to dump, abandoned vehicles, wildlife and tree poaching, invasive species and pot plantations. I oppose BLM pushing to cut trees by dangling money in front of tax strapped counties. We know the trees will run out and what will the local people have after all the trees are cut, watersheds damaged, wildlife associated recreation damaged greatly and viewsheds "nuked." I support the alternative that will take a significant portion of any dollars generated for use in hiring law enforcement personnel to stop the above, rampant crimes occuring on BLM forest due to the obscenely few numbers of law enforcement people. Also part of these dollars must go to hiring career biologists. |

I explore with my dual sport motorcyle and have my tent, sleeping bag etc. on my bike. I do not like setting up a camp by a dusty forest service road, or trail for that matter. I mainly look for a stream side camp area. Everything I have looked at in the draft so far, will make me in violatition of my past camping pursuits.

After the WOPR rules on designated roads and trails is adopted.....once again, I will be a criminal if I get caught on these same ridgetops. Hiking is not a option for me, as, foot surgery and the need for a new knee say my Yamaha is the only way I get back into the deep woods. Many of these 'secret/scenic' overlooks are hunter camps. Are the hunters now going to be ticketed for setting up here when the designated rules on roads take effect? |

We love living in Oregon because it is beautiful. These changes will negatively impact any Oregonian who is not directly profiting from it monetarily. It will impact them in their ability to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings as well as their property value. I support Representative Buckley in his reservations about WOPR, and I am outraged that the BLM would consider moving forward despite the local opposition. Please reconsider so that we can continue to love Oregon and its beauty for years to come. |

| WC-162 | WID-252 | 88-0595ad79-f797-4a0a-a893-3f6a17950b5 | Draft EIS | 9/22/2007 4:41:00 PM | I would like to make the following comments on the Draft EIS for the Western Oregon Plan Revisions. I have traveled and explored much of the coast range, especially along the Smith and Umpqua Rivers but also along the Suislaw. Roman Nose Mountain, Kentucky Falls, and the North Fork of the Smith River are some of my favorite places to fish, hike, and recreate. I have come to enjoy the solidtude and sense of discovery that the coast range has to offer. So much of the coast range is in a degraded condition. Anyone who has driven along the many miles of roads can see that. There are areas that are so completely devestated, such as the Devil's Graveyard on the divide between the Umpqua and Smith, that anyone could see that they have not been managed well. Areas like the moonscape along the upper Big Creek road are why people get so upset about logging. I do not want to see the BLM lands go in this direction. So much of the coast range is owned by timber companies that the public lands seem vital to the health of fish and wildlife. I am in favor of the No Action Alternative, and would like to add these suggestions: It would be productive to see an analysis of an alternative that focuses on restoration and protecting late successional forest. I am not against logging, but I do feel that in these areas it should be restricted to forests that have been converted into monocultures. There does not seem to be an end to these in the coast range and many of them are in bad need of thinning and some stuctural and compositional diversity. This could generate timber and aid wildlife and prevent fire. Why is there not an alternative that explores this option? I would also like to request the supporting evidence for the figures given in the "Fish" section of the DEIS. Specifically I would like to see the evedience that supports the claim that "differences amoung the alternatives, in terms of fish productivity, would be less than 3%" and the evidence that for the claims the DEIS makes about fish habitat. Thank you for your consideration. Ron Constable |

Please keep OHV use identified as a recreational for this area, as we continue to negotiate with Weyerhaeuser for riding rights, as a organzied club. A club's supervised use, even if only on weekends, would help in reducing past problems, while giving the land-owner a partner to help patrol, clean-up, and even protect this area.Thank-you, Randy%0Drandy%40atv-ride.com |

My family and I enjoy Hiking, Camping (car and backpack), OHV exploration, back country travel via snowmobiles, boating (rafting, sailing and water skiing) and Mountain biking. After a brief review of the plan, mainly alternative 2, I am concerned that access to many areas will be eliminated. Specifically, I concerned about the many acres of road and trial closures for OHV travel. These closures are disguised in the language of the proposal by only allowing "designated" trails and roads to remain open. Please do not reduce the amount of land OHV users have access to. If a few irresponsible users are causing damage then go after those users, do not punish everyone for the actions of a few. Maybe consider upping the user fees/licensing requirements to increase education and law enforcement. Regards, Tony |

I am commenting in hope that we might finally resolve the "forest" "logging" problem. The two cornerstones of my belief are 1. we do need trees harvested for paper products and homebuilding. 2. there is a big difference between a forest and a tree farm. We need to continue to get high yield from both private and public "tree farms". This can only be done with better re-planting and continued research into better yield practices whether they are thinning etc. Too many areas that are already logged are simply left essentially to their own devices to regenerate. Forests on the other hand are crucial to life here on earth. Forests have done just fine on their own for thousands of years and really need no interference or "help" from humans. Forests have their own dynamic for dealing with pests, diseases, fire etc. We need to cease logging or interfering with any remaining forests. Period. As to what constitutes a "forest" as opposed to a "tree farm", will bring much discussion. I believe the differences are quite clear and if not I suggest we consult any intelligent high school biology student. Thanks for your time |

In other words, riparian buffers established in the Northwest Forest Plan are well thought out and scientifically based and the BLM has offered no credible reasoning nor justification to reduce them. The BLM's only reason to reduce the riparian buffers is to provide more timber harvest, as the expense of the aquatic and riparian ecosystems. |

This is the best plan for returning our forests to a healthy condition, reduce the extreme fire danger we now face each year and protecting our watersheds. It will also provide jobs and bring our rural counties back economically to where they once were and ensure the proper future funding as the O&C lands agreement originally called for. Bill J.

Clear cutting distroys the environment for a sustainable future. Riparian buffers are resistant to wildfire and are a necessary element in the ecosystem. Please do not choose Alternative 2. Thanks you for this opportunity to comment. |

We have already harvested the vast majority of old growth timber(in Oregon and the continent) the remnants should be protected and treasured for future generations of humans as well as native flora and fauna. I recommend the no action alternative. |

Why? 1...Because the O&C Act of '37 allows it; 2...Mother Nature has provided for it; 3...The level of logging called for is reasonable; 4...And the people of this area need financial help. Good luck. Dan Holland |

I have seen the rural towns doing extremely well when the forests were being logged. Unfortunately there were a few companies that did not have a long term logging plan and chose to go for short term profitability, those companies no longer exist. There were laws passed because of the 1% that abused public lands. These laws pushed by the extreme enviromentalists above and beyond reasonable has destroyed the economy here in Oregon. I wishe dto promote the alternative 2 plan to help get the forests in better health and to get Oregon's economy running in a positive direction. Jackson County would not have curtailed services and closed libraries if logging is properly allowed to occur on forest lands. I don't we should be begging for hand outs from the Federal Government when we have the resources to finance our own local government with logging receipts. Once again I am electing for the alternative 2 level of operations. Thank you, Clyde Smith |

I feel that this is a thoroughly researched alternative which meets all the requirements of current law and yet allows for a reasonable level of forest products harvesting, which is a very important factor in the economic sustainability of the Southern Oregon economy. |
