The preferred option will maintain the current boardwalk configuration in the basin, and make improvements to the trail from the main park road. The geothermal basin and the trail to it are closed this year, for work on the trail. According park spokeswoman Karen Haner, the necessary approvals for the work are expected in May, but due to snow at the park work won’t start then. The first step will be replacing the boardwalks with new structures designed to handle winter snow loads and the acidic conditions in the basin. They would be modular and could be moved as necessitated by the changes of the thermal features. The preferred alternative calls for enlarging the viewing platforms in the basin at both the Big Boiler and Pyrite Pool.

  • Wilderness Recommendations
    U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region June 2016 Wilderness Recommendations Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Forest Plans for the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests As part of revising the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests land management plans (forest plans), the Forest Service is identifying and evaluating lands that may be suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. This is a requirement of the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219.7(c)(2)(v)). We are not designating any wilderness areas through this process; only Congress can take that action. The wilderness recommendation process has three steps, inventory, evaluation and analysis. This process is documented in Appendix B in the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for these forest plan revisions. We are following the 2012 Planning Rule Directives, Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12 Chapter 70, which uses criteria based on the Wilderness Act of 1964. Appendix B describes the outcome of the inventory and evaluation, the areas included in one or more alternative in the draft EIS, and rationale for those areas that were not selected for analysis in the draft EIS. Based on the analysis in the environmental impact statement and public input received, the Forest Supervisor for each of the three national forests will make a decision on specific areas to recommend for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The decision will be included in the Record of Decision for the plan as a preliminary administrative recommendation. Forest plan components will provide direction for managing areas recommended for wilderness designation. Wilderness Recommendation Process There are four steps in the wilderness recommendation process: inventory, evaluation, analysis and recommendation.

  • Evaluation of Caribou and Thousand Lakes Wilderness Areas, Lassen National Forest (FHP Report NE07-01)
    Forest Health Protection Pacific Southwest Region Date: January 11, 2007 File Code: 3420 To: Forest Supervisor, Lassen National Forest Subject: Evaluation of Caribou and Thousand Lakes Wilderness Areas, Lassen National Forest (FHP Report NE07-01) At the request of Elizabeth Norton, Resource Staff Manager, Lassen National Forest, I conducted a field evaluation of the Caribou and Thousand Lakes Wilderness Areas on October 24 and 25, 2006. The objective of my visit was to evaluate the current forest health conditions, including impacts to tree health from recreational use within the wilderness areas and discuss potential management options such as campsite relocation and closure, prescribed fire, and vegetation management. Elizabeth Norton, Bob Andrews, and Kevin McCombe accompanied me in the Caribou Wilderness. Elizabeth Norton accompanied me in the Thousand Lakes Wilderness. Background The Caribou Wilderness (CW) is located within the Lassen National Forest adjacent to the east boundary of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The general legal description is T30N, T31N and R7E. The average elevation is 6,900 feet and the 20,000 acre area receives an average of 50-60” of precipitation per year (Figure 1). Taylor and Solem (2001) identified 5 forest compositional groups within the CW: white fir – Jeffrey pine, red fir – white fir, lodgepole, red fir – lodgepole and red fir – western white pine. These stand types are mostly separated by soil properties and slope aspect. Lodgepole pine is the dominant stand type over much of the CW. No timber harvest has occurred within the wilderness boundary however grazing in the 19th century altered the fire regime by removing fine fuels (Taylor and Solem 2001).
