CROWDER STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1230-G An evaluation of the mineral potential of the area UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON : 1967 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR STEWART L. UDALL, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY William T. Pecora, Director For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 - Price 55 cents (paper cover) STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, Sept. 3, 1964) and the Conference Report on Senate bill 4, 88th Congress, direct the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to make mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially desig­ nated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe," when the act was passed, were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System. Areas classed as "primitive" were not included in the Wilderness Sys­ tem, but the act provided that each primitive area should be studied for its suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. This bulletin reports the results of a mineral survey in the Devil Canyon-Bear Canyon primitive area, California. The area discussed in the report corresponds to the area under consideration for wilderness status. It is not identical with the Devil Canyon-Bear Canyon Primitive Area as defined because modifications of the boundary have been proposed for the area to be con­ sidered for wilderness status.

  • Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project Final EIS/EIR
    Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project C. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW, Forest Service, or USFWS species as described for the Project. Sensitive plants (Impact BIO-12) or invertebrates (Impact BIO-13) were not found in the disturbance area and would be subject to the same direct and indirect impacts as the Project. Implementation of Alternative 1 may result in a minor reduction in road kill to butterflies should they occur from fewer truck trips. Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to southwestern pond turtles (Impact BIO-14), two-striped garter snakes (Impact BIO-15), coast range newts (Impact BIO-16), and sensitive amphibian and reptile species (Impact BIO-17) as described for the Project. Reduced water levels required to construct in July could reduce habitat for these species in the Reservoir; however, fluctuating water levels at the reservoir occur during below-normal rain years. Implementation of Alternative 1 would result in the same impacts to burrowing owls (Impact BIO-18), special status nesting birds (Impact BIO-19), special status bats (Impact BIO-20), and other special-status mammals (Impact BIO-21, Impact BIO-22, and Impact BIO-23) or greater as described for the Project. The commencement of work on July 1 would increase the likelihood of disturbing active breeding birds or disrupt mammal denning or pupping should they occur. Implementation of the same SPCs for the Project would reduce impacts to biological resources identified under Criterion BIO 3 from Alternative 1.

  • Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project Final EIS/EIR
    Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project C. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES C.9 Recreation and Land Use This section describes the impacts to land use and public recreation associated with the construction and operation of the proposed action and alternatives. The EIS/EIR considers existing and proposed land uses in addition to sensitive land uses that have the potential to be affected by the Project. Sensitive land uses include the following land use types: residences, schools, hospitals, daycare centers, retirement homes, and cemeteries. Recreational resources are also defined as sensitive land uses, as they are susceptible to disturbances (e.g., noise, traffic, dust, etc.) that could decrease or eliminate the value of the recreational experience. In general, recreational facilities (parks, open space, playgrounds, play fields, etc.), recrea- tional activities (bicycling, hiking, boating, etc.), and recreationists are considered to be sensitive receptors for purposes of this impact assessment. C.9.1 Affected Environment The proposed sediment removal at Littlerock Reservoir would be located within the Santa Clara/Mojave Rivers Ranger District of the Angeles National Forest (ANF). Truck routes for construction equipment and sediment removal would traverse federal and local jurisdictions that include National Forest System (NFS) lands, unincorporated Los Angeles County, and City of Palmdale, as shown in Figure C.9-1 (Jurisdictional Boundaries). The extent of the area to be analyzed for land use impacts is considered the Land Use Study Area [see Figure C.9-2 (Angeles National Forest Land Use Zones) and Figure C.9-3 (Land Use Designations)]. While other issue areas in this EIS/EIR may identify a Study Area with a different radius, the Land Use Study Area has been defined by the following: Land and recreation uses immediately adjacent to construction activities at Littlerock Reservoir; Land and recreation uses located along the sediment removal truck routes; and Land and recreation uses adjacent to the proposed sediment disposal sites.

We'll move at a slow pace each day; however, each peak will require a strenuous effort, and although the routes will be restricted to Class 2 scrambling, comfort on steep and loose, rocky and thorny cross-country terrain is required. Saturday morning we'll get an early start and head into the "Nopah Range" Wilderness Area located along the eastern range bordering Chicago Valley; first we'll warm up by trudging across a broad alluvial fan, then we'll make our way up through a sometimes tight and rocky canyon before getting up onto a steep and loose, rocky and thorny ridgeline that will bring us up onto the narrow and rocky summit ridge, which we'll ascend to the summit of Pahrump Point. After thoroughly enjoying the reportedly exquisite views up there, we'll return the way we came in for a day's total of 8 RT mi with 3,400' gain. We'll make camp where we're parked and will celebrate the weekend under a nearly full moon sky with a traditional DPS Potluck Happy Hour.

  • Williamson Rock/ Pacific Crest NaOnal Scenic Trail Project Dra Environmental Impact Statement
    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Williamson Rock/ Pacific Crest Naonal Scenic Trail Project Dra Environmental Impact Statement July 2018 With Technical Assistance by: Williamson Rock/Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail Project SUMMARY Summary S.1 Background Williamson Rock is a well-known recreation area in the Angeles National Forest (ANF), used predominately for rock climbing. It has been utilized by climbers since the 1960’s and is regarded as one of the unique rock climbing resources in southern California, due to its mild summer temperatures and close proximity to urban centers. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) traverses the project area, paralleling and periodically crossing Little Rock Creek and its tributaries for approximately 2 miles. In September 2005, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed the designation of approximately 8,283 acres of streams and riparian areas as critical habitat for the mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) (MYLF), 615 acres of which were in Little Rock Creek and surrounded areas of Williamson Rock. The designation triggered a one-year Forest Service closure of the Williamson Rock area that began on December 29, 2005 and has been renewed each year either by Forest Order or court injunction. Since issuing the initial closure, the ANF has also continually received many comments from the public requesting the re-opening of the Williamson Rock area for recreational use. S.2 Purpose and Need The purpose and need for this project is to provide managed recreational activities at Williamson Rock and allow access to the PCT, while protecting the federally listed MYLF and other unique resources.
