This THP is generally east of Sacramento and I-80, about 14 miles east of the community of Foresthill near the North Fork of the American River at an elevation of 3,400 to 4,500 feet. Sierra Pacific Industries is planning a tractor and cable logging operation that will mostly clearcut and thin mixed conifer stands up to 103 years old. The THP area contains some steep slopes and 3 unstable areas mostly from legacy mining impacts. SPI is planning to build a temporary road around one of the unstable areas, and use ground based equipment on steep slopes over 65% in cable unit 101. They are also requesting an exception to be able to construct and use temporary roads during the winter period, and to be able to use a skid road near a class II watercourse. There were 4 goshawk territories reported in the area ranging from .1 mi up to 2.8 mi away, and 11 CA spotted owl territories reported in the area from .25 mi to 5.5 mi away. More information is available on the THP Tracking Center website.
