The mineral resources of the Abstract eastern wilderness study area, CDCA-158, are described by Diggles and others (1985). This report The part of the Owens Peak Wilderness Study covers the western wilderness study area (CA-010- Area (CA-010-026) designated as suitable for mineral 026); it is approximately 14,430 acres in area and is surveys encompasses 14,430 acres in the southern located 15 mi east of Isabella. The terrane is Sierra Nevada. Field work was carried out in 1981 generally steep and rugged, with elevations ranging through 1985 to assess the mineral resource potential from about 4,500 ft in the valleys to 8,453 ft at the of the area. summit of Owens Peak.

    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS.

  • The California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 As Amended
    the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as amended U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Desert District Riverside, California the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as Amended IN REPLY REFER TO United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT STATE OFFICE Federal Office Building 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, California 95825 Dear Reader: Thank you.You and many other interested citizens like you have made this California Desert Conservation Area Plan. It was conceived of your interests and concerns, born into law through your elected representatives, molded by your direct personal involvement, matured and refined through public conflict, interaction, and compromise, and completed as a result of your review, comment and advice. It is a good plan. You have reason to be proud. Perhaps, as individuals, we may say, “This is not exactly the plan I would like,” but together we can say, “This is a plan we can agree on, it is fair, and it is possible.” This is the most important part of all, because this Plan is only a beginning. A plan is a piece of paper-what counts is what happens on the ground. The California Desert Plan encompasses a tremendous area and many different resources and uses. The decisions in the Plan are major and important, but they are only general guides to site—specific actions. The job ahead of us now involves three tasks: —Site-specific plans, such as grazing allotment management plans or vehicle route designation; —On-the-ground actions, such as granting mineral leases, developing water sources for wildlife, building fences for livestock pastures or for protecting petroglyphs; and —Keeping people informed of and involved in putting the Plan to work on the ground, and in changing the Plan to meet future needs.

See also https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/11/16/2020-25208/premium- energy-holdings-llc-notice-of-preliminary-permit-application-accepted-for-filing-and. We strongly oppose the issuance of this preliminary permit. We have a number of concerns about the application by Premium Energy Holdings, LLC, particularly with regard to the potential impact of activities that could be granted under the preliminary permit on sensitive federal lands, which are eligible for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, and which are currently classified as Inventoried Roadless Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, and eligible Wild and Scenic Rivers. The proposed project would be located on public lands with highly sensitive resources managed by the U.S. Forest Service (Sequoia National Forest) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), state lands managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, as well as lands owned by Non-Governmental Organizations and other private lands.

    August 25, 2016 Forest Planner, Forest Plan Revision USDA Forest Service, Region 5 Sent via: [email protected] Re: Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Revision of the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra National Forests Land Management Plans To the Forest Plan Revision Team: These comments on the Draft Forest Plans and Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Revision of the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra National Forests Land Management Plans are submitted on behalf of the organizations noted below. Collectively, we have been engaged in the forest plan revision process for these three national forests since initiated in 2012. Many of our organizations also have a long history of engagement in forest planning beginning with the first plans adopted in the late 1980s to early 1990s for national forests in the Sierra Nevada. We have embraced the new Planning Rule and taken seriously its invitation to provide feedback early in the process and throughout the development of the revised plans. We remain committed to working with your agency to develop revised forest plans that protect sensitive resources, provide for ecological integrity, and provide high quality recreational experiences. Our detailed review of the draft plans and DEIS indicate that there are significant gaps in assessment, development of plan components and evaluation of environmental consequences that preclude a meaningful analysis of the effects of the draft plans and alternatives on the environment. We ask that you revise the draft plans and revise or supplement the DEIS and circulate these documents for a 90-day comment period. Please contact Susan Britting (530-295-8210; [email protected]) if you have questions about these comments.

The responsible official for the Inyo plan revision is Tammy Randall-Parker, Forest Supervisor, Inyo National Forest. We are also objecting to the list of Species of Conservation Concern adopted by Regional Forester Randy Moore. Collectively, the objecting organizations have provided substantive formal comments throughout the forest planning process for the Inyo National Forest on the objection issues we raise below. We are deeply invested in securing a forest plan for the Inyo National Forest that protects important natural resources and provides for people. This objection covers a variety of issues related to resources affected by the revised forest plan and offers recommendations on how objection issues could be resolved. We appreciate the opportunity for review and possible resolution of issues contained in this objection prior to the approval of the final plan. We look forward to an opportunity to discuss our concerns with you.
