Environmental Assessment / Decision Notice

This document is an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Decision Notice for the Payette National Forest's Noxious Weed and Poisonous Plant Control Program. It tailors region-wide alternatives to the Payette National Forest and details the decision to implement Alternative 2, Integrated Pest Management, as the preferred approach.

• Alternative 2 (Integrated Pest Management): Involves treating target plants using a combination of biological agents, herbicide applications, cultural, and manual techniques. The specific methods will be determined based on plant physiology and site-specific considerations. Prevention is also a key component.

• Monitoring: Water quality monitoring and macroinvertebrate monitoring will be conducted, with specific priorities for sensitive streams, socially sensitive watersheds, and areas with high treatment percentages.

• Modified Treatment Areas: Special considerations for wilderness and anadromous fisheries areas, where herbicides will not be used, and treatment will consist of biological, manual, or cultural control.

• Safety: Specific safety protocols, including restrictions on female applicators for dicamba, will be followed.

• The decision is to implement Alternative 2, Integrated Pest Management.

• Project implementation will begin no less than 30 days after the decision date (June 24, 1987).

• The decision is subject to administrative review (appeal) pursuant to 36 CFR 211.19.

• Not applicable, as this is an EA and Decision Notice, not a solicitation.

• Not applicable.

• The document compares three alternatives: Alternative 1 (No Treatment), Alternative 2 (Integrated Pest Management - Preferred), and Alternative 3 (Integrated Pest Management Without Herbicides).

• The EA addresses the potential impacts on various resources including visual quality, land use, rangelands, wildlife, and economics.

• It also outlines management requirements and constraints for all methods and specifically for herbicidal methods, including buffer zones for water bodies and agricultural areas.
