    The Bedford District's Rock Resource Inventory catalogues the active quarry site MT Ruben (Bonnie Ridge), identified under GIS number OR1 20. The quarry is located in Township 33 S, Range 8 W, Section 3, and falls under ownership BL¡. Key geological features include graywacke rock type from the Dothon formation, with varying rock strength and weathering characteristics. The quarry has a history of use and no reclamation needs. Engineering data indicates production methods involve shot excavation with core or air track drill reports present from 1976 and 1982. The site has produced approximately 20,000 cubic yards of material, primarily 2-inch crushed rock, though small sizes should be avoided due to durability concerns. The quarry is not scheduled for further use currently, emphasizing its status as a community pit without significant vegetation, recreational, wildlife, or water resources present. This document serves to inform potential stakeholders or ensure regulatory compliance in future resource management efforts relevant to federal RFPs and state/local grants.

    A06_Attachment_D_-_Catergorical_Exclusion_and_Decision_Record.pdf
    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Grants Pass Field Office proposes to utilize the Mt. Reuben Quarry in Oregon for road maintenance by processing approximately 8,000 cubic yards of previously shot rock. The project will involve crushing this rock on-site with minimal environmental disturbance, using existing access roads, and covering approximately 2 acres. The work will not require blasting or significant clearing of vegetation, as only minor brush will be removed. Environmental safeguards, including sediment control measures and adherence to safety and cultural resource protocols, have been established to mitigate impacts. The proposed action is categorized under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as a categorical exclusion, indicating no significant environmental impacts and compliance with relevant land use plans. The review indicated that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would warrant further environmental analysis. Key considerations include potential effects on wildlife, especially the northern spotted owl, with limiting restrictions during nesting seasons, and conformance with local environmental regulations. This initiative facilitates road maintenance while ensuring environmental protection, reflecting BLM's ongoing commitment to resource management and compliance with federal regulations. The decision has been authorized, and stakeholders have the opportunity to appeal within a specified timeframe.
