Proposed access changes associated with the BMU 4 Access Project.<div><br /></div><div>Proposed changes as of the scoping period of the NEPA process.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The 2015 Forest Plan requires that grizzly bear habitat standards relating to roads are implemented on National Forest System (NFS) lands within designated bear management units (BMUs). The Forest Plan includes standards for core area, Open Motorized Route Density (OMRD) and Total Motorized Route Density (TMRD). Calculations examine routes on NFS lands, private, and state lands. The Forest Service is required to manage motorized access on NFS lands to meet the BMU wide standards.</div><div><br /></div><div>Within each BMU, route density standards include maximums for TMRD (> 2 mi./sq. mi.), OMRD (> 1 mi./sq. mi.), and a minimum for core habitat.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Bull Bear Management Unit (BMU 4) project area is located on the Cabinet District of the Kootenai National Forest, in Sanders County, Montana, northeast of the Clark Fork River. BMU 4 encompasses approximately 81,755 acres and extends from Rock Creek south of Noxon, Montana to the Kootenai National Forest boundary at the Idaho-Montana state line.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>For more information on the BMU 4 Access Project please visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/projects/kootenai/landmanagement/projects</div>
