2006 Sudden Oak Death containment notice

Record details#

Neutral description#

The agency record describes a containment project within Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This catalog entry identifies the public source; it does not extrapolate conditions, treatment methods, property status, or current conditions beyond the cited records.

Why this agency record matters#

The official title explicitly names Jay Smith Road. The notice therefore supplies a dated government reference to the name as well as a source for the documented environmental project. Its project setting is Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

The source describes an objective to contain or slow the infestation identified at that time. An objective is different from a later measured outcome. The catalog does not turn the notice into evidence about present forest conditions or treatment results.

Reading the notice alongside later research#

The 2017 Forest Service paper discusses treatment conditions at the Jay Smith site. It is a separate research publication, with a different purpose from the 2006 notice. The environmental-history article explains the relationship and the treatment descriptions supported by the paper.

Use State Clearinghouse number 2006018194 to identify the project in CEQAnet. For geographic orientation, the Jay Smith Road regional overview connects the park setting with the Avenue of the Giants and nearby communities. These contextual links do not expand the project's stated scope into a road-boundary or ownership conclusion.
