WDFW High Lakes Fishery Management Program Final Report Final Report Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s High Lakes Fishery Management Program Prepared for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Olympia, Washington Prepared by Parametrix 5808 Lake Washington Blvd. NE, Suite 200 Kirkland, Washington 98033 (425) 822-8880 www.parametrix.com Bob Pfeifer, Senior Fish Biologist and Mike Swayne, PhD Trail Blazers, Inc. and Brian Curtis Washington State Hi-Lakers WDFW High Lakes Fishery Management Report 553-3766-001 (01/06) Final Report i September, 2001 K:\working\3766\HLFMR\Final Report_Part 2.doc ABOUT THE AUTHORS Bob Pfeifer was the District Fish Biologist in the greater Seattle area for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife between 1978 and 2000. Prior to this he was a habitat biologist for the same area between 1972 and 1978. Mr. Pfeifer’s management district contained approximately 670 lakes and ponds on lands managed by the US Forest Service, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, three large municipal watersheds (Everett, Seattle and Tacoma), and major timber owners. In addition to managing this large and diverse number of waters, Bob hiked to and surveyed most of those that support fish – many of them multiple times. He worked closely with other WDFW managers and members of the Trail Blazers and Washington State Hi-Lakers to develop an improved system for monitoring the fishery, and collaborated on the development of databases both inside and outside the agency. Pfeifer guided the development of Washington’s only golden trout captive brood stock. He was the High Lakes Program Coordinator in the Seattle (Region Four) regional office between 1980 and 1999, coordinating the volunteer stocking and fishery monitoring over a 10-county area. Bob’s passions are mountaineering, high lake fishing, and outdoor photography. He was the President of the Washington State Hi-Lakers for two years, and is currently the Treasurer of the Trail Blazers. (Bob is here seen in 1989 reveling in the awesome views from the summit of Three Fingers Mountain in Washington’s North Cascades. The view is to the east over the Squire and Clear Creeks drainages.) WDFW High Lakes Fishery Management Report 553-3766-001 (01/06) Final Report ii September, 2001 K:\working\3766\HLFMR\Final Report_Part 2.doc Mike Swayne has been a member of Trail Blazers, Inc. since 1958. An avid climber in his youth, Mike made a number of notable first ascents in the central and north Cascades. He has been a passionate and active hiker/mountaineer for over 40 years. Mike manages an environmental consulting business that develops databases for environmental projects specializing in the identification and remediation of hazardous and toxic chemicals at municipal, industrial, military and mining sites. As the long-time Librarian of the Trail Blazers, Mike has led the development of an extensive, comprehensive database on Washington's high lakes and fishery that would be the envy of most other state fishery agencies. The database identifies 3,837 high lakes and ponds in Washington with an associated 12,352 fish introductions and 11,403 fish observations. Mike acknowledges the assistance of the following agencies and organizations in developing this database: Trail Blazer library stocking and survey records; Hi-Laker library survey records; Snohomish County Sportsmen stocking and survey records; WDFW lake identification and stocking records in Olympia; WDFW regional biologist stocking and survey records; North Cascade National Park lake identification; biological and chemical survey records; Forest Service fish, wildlife, vegetation, and camp records; USGS chemistry records, StreamNet surface water topology records; and EPA chemistry records. (Mike is here seen in 1992 atop unnamed Peak 7722 in the Charlotte Alplands in the British Columbia Coast Range. The view is to the northwest.) WDFW High Lakes Fishery Management Report 553-3766-001 (01/06) Final Report iii September, 2001 K:\working\3766\HLFMR\Final Report_Part 2.doc Brian Curtis has a degree in fisheries management, and has been a member of Trail Blazers, Inc. since 1987, and the Washington State Hi-Lakers since 1973. Like Mike Swayne, Brian maintains a powerful database on Washington's high lakes fishery, with an emphasis on trip survey reports. Brian and his father, Walt Curtis, are leaders in the development of lightweight backpacking and fishing equipment, some of which was indispensable in the collection of information presented in this report. (Their remarkable 20-oz pack raft is shown in its stuff sack in Plate 4, and in use in Plates 6, 11, 26, and 33.) Brian was the President of the Trail Blazers in 1994 and has served as the communications point of contact between the Trail Blazers and WDFW since 1997. (Brian is seen here on a recent [August 2001] trip to the Great Bear Wilderness in Montana. The view is over the Spotted Bear River towards the Bob Marshall Wilderness from Gunsight Peak.) WDFW High Lakes Fishery Management Report 553-3766-001 (01/06) Final Report iv September, 2001 K:\working\3766\HLFMR\Final Report_Part 2.doc ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report is the result of the combined efforts of many people, spanning nearly three decades. The primary author’s role was largely one of synthesizing the collective experience of others. Past and present WDFW fish biologists provided technical information contained within the report. It would have been impossible to produce the report within the allotted time frame and budget without the pro bono contribution of time and database analysis by Dr. Mike Swayne of the Trail Blazers, Inc., and Mr. Brian Curtis of the Trail Blazers and the Washington State Hi-Lakers. The majority of the database information on the number of lakes, their size, stocking statistics, and volunteered angler reports was provided by these individuals. Their assistance and friendship is greatly appreciated. The Trail Blazer library was started by “Honest” Charlie Yadon soon after the club was formed in 1933. Charlie acquired his nickname due to his attention to detail and meticulous record keeping in log books, journals, annual reports, minutes, and notes from coordination meetings with the early Department of Game. Without his fine work much of the early years of Trail Blazer stocking efforts would have been lost to history. In more recent years the Trail Blazer library has been coordinated with Brian Curtis, the Washington State Hi-Lakers Librarian. Figures 1 through 5, 6b through 7b, 14, 17, and Appendix K Plates 1 through 13 were prepared by Mike Swayne. All photographs were taken by the primary author unless otherwise noted. Many photographs or transparencies were freely given to the author over the years, and this was, again, sincerely appreciated. Individuals who were particularly helpful for this report include Gerry Ring Erickson, Jim Cummins, Larry Hirni, and Bill Henkel. The first draft of this report received review from many WDFW area fish biologists, many of whom provided valuable feedback. The author gives credit to Jim Uehara and Bob Gibbons, WDFW program managers, for the contractual arrangements that made this report a reality. Preparation of this program summary had been a career goal of his for many years. Bob Gibbons’ extensive comments on the first draft and discussion with the primary author were essential to the report’s completeness and relevance.

  • Limestone Resources of Western Washington
    State of Washington DANIEL J. EVANS, Governor Department of Conservation H. MA URI CE AHLQUIST, Director DIVISION OF MINES AND GEOLOGY MARSHALL T. HUNTTING, Supervisor Bulletin No. 52 LIMESTONE RESOURCES OF WESTERN WASHINGTON By WILBERT R. DANNER With a section on the UME MOUNTAIN DEPOSIT By GERALD W. THORSEN STATII PRINTING PLANT, OLYMPI A, WASH, 1966 For sale by Department of Conservation, Olympia, Washington. Price, $4,50 FOREWORD Since the early days of Washington's statehood, limestone has been recognized as one of the important mineral resources _of the State. The second annual report of the Washington Geological Survey, published in 1903, gave details on the State's limestone deposits, and in later years five other reports published by the Survey and its successor agencies hove given additional information on this resource. Still other reports by Federal and private agencies hove been published in response to demands for data on limestone here. Although some of the earlier reports included analyses to show the purity of the rocks, very few of the samples for analysis were taken systemati­ cally in a way that would fairly represent the deposits sampled. Prior to 1900 limestone was produced for use as building stone here, and another important use was for the production of burned Ii me . Portland cement plants soon became leading consumers of Ii mestone, and they con­ tinue as such to the present time . Limestone is used in large quantities in the pulp industry in the Northwest, and in 1966 there was one commercial lime-burning plant in the State. Recognizing the potential for industrial development in Washington based on more intensive use of our mineral resources, and recognizing the need to up-dote the State's knowledge of raw material resources in order to channel those resources into the State's growing economy, the Industrial Row Materials Advisory Committee of the Deportment of Commerce and Economic Development in 1958 recommended that a comprehensive survey be made of the limestone resources of Washington.

  • National Avalanche Center 2001-2002 Season Roundup
    TH E A Publication of the American Avalanche Association RE V I E W VOLUME 21, NO. 1 • FALL 2002 • US $4.95 On the web at www.a v a l a n c h e . o rg / ~ a a a p National Avalanche Center 2001-2002 Season Roundup Compiled by Janet Kellam ompiler’s note: This article is a compilation of season summaries from the network of Regional Avalanche Centers that receive funding from the US Forest C Service. In the past, we have produced this article in the spring, leaving a gaps with no information from the late spring and summer seasons. TAR is now publishing this roundup in the fall issue, in hopes of providing a more complete summary of avalanche center information. There are two additional Avalanche Centers in the NAC network: UAC/Bear River Avalanche Center-Logan and the Tahoe National Forest Avalanche Center. Their season summaries were unavailable at press time. Forest Service National Avalanche Center Those of us in the FS National Avalanche Center like to think of ourselves as the little center with the big name. The NAC has two employees, Karl Birkeland in Bozeman, Montana and Doug Abromeit in Ketchum, Idaho. The NAC, among other things, provides program guidance and support to local FS avalanche centers, facilitates technology transfer to FS field units, coordinates the FS national avalanche awareness program and manages the FS military artillery program. The past year was a good one. The NAC started the season by hosting the annual fall meeting for US avalanche centers. We held the meeting in Snowbasin, Utah and devoted one day to the nuts and bolts business of running an avalanche center and a second day to cutting edge avalanche technology including several excellent scientific presentations.

    Chapter 3: The Affected Environment 3.0 THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.0.1 Introduction Chapter 3 – The Affected Environment describes the physical and biological environment (e.g., water resources, wildlife, etc.) as well as the human environment (e.g., social and economic factors, recreation, etc.), which may be affected by the range of alternatives, as described in Chapter 2 - Alternatives. Much of the information on the affected environment is compiled from detailed technical reports and other analyses prepared by the USFS and consultants. Some of these reports are attached to this FEIS as appendices. All reports are available for review as part of the Analysis File maintained for this project at the MBSNF Supervisor’s Office. References cited in this FEIS are provided in Chapter 5 - References. 3.0.2 Analysis Area The “analysis area” (referred to as the “Study Area” throughout this document) varies by resource area. The Study Area includes all public (USFS) lands as well as private land owned by Ski Lifts, Inc. and other land holders. When discussing individual projects within the Study Area, the following terms are used to distinguish the different locations within the SUP: Summit East, Summit Central, and Summit West, are collectively referred to as “The Summit.” Alpental, when discussed individually, is referred to as “Alpental.” All four ski areas are collectively referred to as “The Summit-at-Snoqualmie.” Figure 3.0-1, Study Area illustrates the boundaries of the Study Area, including The Summit and Alpental. Figure 3.0-2, 5th Field Watersheds illustrates the boundaries of the two 5th field watersheds used in this FEIS analysis: the South Fork Snoqualmie River Watershed (S.F.
