The Wild Cascades
THE WILD CASCADES April-May 1969 2 THE WILD CASCADES MORE (BUT NOT THE LAST) ABOUT ALPINE LAKES We recently carried in these pages an article by Brock Evans, Northwest Conservation Representative, on Alpine Lakes: Stepchild of the North Cascades. Mr. L. O. Barrett, Supervisor of Snoqualmie National Forest, feels the article contained "some rather significant misinterpretations" and has asked the opportunity to respond. Following are Mr. Barrett's comments on portions of Mr. Evans' article, together with Mr. Evans' rejoinders. Barrett: The Alpine Lakes Area is still wilderness quality in part because of the nature of the land, and in part because the Forest Service has managed it as wilderness type area since 1946. We will continue to protect it from timber harvesting, mining and excessive recreation use until Congress makes a decision about its suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Evans: The wilderness parts of the Alpine Lakes region that are being lost are those which the Forest Service has chosen not to manage as wilderness. The 1946 date referred to is the date of the establishment of the Alpine Lake Limited Area. This designation granted a measure of administrative protection to a substantial part of the region; but much was left out. The logging in the Miller River, Foss River, Deception Creek, Cooper Lake, and Eight Mile Creek valleys all took place in wilderness-type areas which we proposed for protection which were outside the limited area. The Forest Service cannot protect its lands from mineral prospecting or, ulti mately, from mining operations of some types — because of the mining laws.

Preliminary Geologic Map of the Mount Baker 30- by 60-Minute Quadrangle, Washington
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Preliminary Geologic Map of the Mount Baker 30- by 60-Minute Quadrangle, Washington by R.W. Tabor1 , R.A. Haugerud2, D.B. Booth3, and E.H.

Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. iu.S.G.S., Menlo Park, California 94025 2U.S.G.S., University of Washington, AJ-20, Seattle, Washington 98195 3SWMD, King County Department of Public Works, Seattle, Washington, 98104 ^Department of Geology, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington 98225 INTRODUCTION The Mount Baker 30- by 60-minute quadrangle encompasses rocks and structures that represent the essence of North Cascade geology. The quadrangle is mostly rugged and remote and includes much of the North Cascade National Park and several dedicated Wilderness areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Geologic exploration has been slow and difficult. In 1858 George Gibbs (1874) ascended the Skagit River part way to begin the geographic and geologic exploration of the North Cascades. In 1901, Reginald Daly (1912) surveyed the 49th parallel along the Canadian side of the border, and George Smith and Frank Calkins (1904) surveyed the United States' side. Daly's exhaustive report was the first attempt to synthesize what has become an extremely complicated geologic story.

National Park Service North Cascades National Park Service Complex U.S. Department of the Interior Stephen Mather Wilderness An Enduring Legacy of Wilderness “[I]t is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness.” — Wilderness Act, 1964 The North Cascades National Park Complex includes 684,000 acres in three units: North Cascades National Park, Lake Chelan National Recre- ation Area, and Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Congress has designated 94% of the Complex as the Stephen Mather Wilderness. Today, as in the past, wilderness is an important part of every American’s story. People seek out wilderness for a variety of reasons: physical or mental challenge; solitude, renewal, or a respite from modern life; or as a place to find inspiration and to explore our heritage. What draws you to visit wilderness? The Stephen Mather Wilderness is at the heart of over two million acres of some of the wildest lands remaining, a place “where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man….” Untrammeled (meaning“free of restraint,” “unconfined”) captures the essence of wilderness: a place where the natural processes of the land prevail, and the developments of modern technological society are substantially unnoticeable. Here, we are visitors, but we also come home—to our natural heritage. It is a place to experience our past, and a place to find future respite. This is the enduring legacy of wilderness. To Hope, B.C.

Baker River Hydroelectric Project Relicensing Comprehensive Settlement Agreement, Signed in November 2004 (Agreement)
2 Based on the information provided in the Final Environmental Impact Statement, other documents, and conversations with staff from Puget Sound Energy, ACOE, and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), we have concluded that effects to the federally-listed grizzly bear and gray wolf associated with the proposed relicensing of the Baker Project would be insignificant and discountable. Therefore, we concur with your “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” determination for grizzly bear and gray wolf. The FWS disagrees that “may affect, likely to adversely affect” is the appropriate effect determination for bull trout critical habitat. Virtually no areas below the Baker Dams are designated bull trout critical habitat, and therefore we believe that the appropriate determination is “no effect.” The FWS does not concur with the “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” determination for bald eagle, marbled murrelet, marbled murrelet critical habitat, northern spotted owl, and northern spotted owl critical habitat because of the potential for increased disturbance due to construction activities and increased visitor use, the potential to remove critical habitat and/or the potential to increase predation of marbled murrelet nests by corvids. We concur with the “may affect, likely to adversely affect” determination for bull trout. We therefore have conducted a formal consultation on the bald eagle, bull trout, marbled murrelet, marbled murrelet critical habitat, northern spotted owl, and northern spotted owl critical habitat. This consultation is complex, involving two Federal action agencies, the analysis of over 50 license articles proposed in the Baker River Hydroelectric Project Settlement Agreement and covering the effects of a license for operation for up to 50 years.
