Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:*
The Air Force proposes to remove trees in an area directly adjacent to the West

removal is necessary to ensure flight safety within the flight clearance zone. No
stumps will be removed and cut trees will be left in place. Personnel will use chain
saws and hand clearing to remove some trees and shrubs. Previous letter from
DWQ shows "exempt" concurrence on previous shrub and tree removal actions in
the riparian buffer zones in the past due to the 1979 easement.
