A special tribute goes to my wife, Caro, whohas supported all of my activi- ties these past 38 years in our marriage and in my careerwith the Forest Service. In the time it has taken me to compile this document, scoresof people throughout the Forest Service have provided information,photos, and drawings; told their stories; assisted In editing my writingattempts; and expressed support for this enormous effort. Active andretired architects from all the Forest Service Regions as well as severalof the research sta- tions have provided specific informationregarding their history.

  • Fire Lookouts Eldorado National Forest
    United States Department of Agriculture Fire Lookouts Eldorado National Forest Background Fire suppression became a national priority around 1910, when the country was stricken by what has been considered the largest wildfire in US history. The Big Blowup fire as it was called, burned over 3,000,000 acres (12,000 km) in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. After the Big Blowup, Fire Lookout towers were built across the country in hopes of preventing another “Blowup”. At this time Plummer Lookout. Can lookouts were primarily found in tall trees with rickety ladders and you see the 2 people? platforms or on high peaks with canvas tents for shelters. This job was not for the faint of heart. This did little to offer long‐term support for the much needed “Fire Watcher”, so by 1911 permanent cabins and cupolas were constructed on Mountain Ridges, Peaks, and tops. In California, between 1933 and 1942, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews reportedly built 250 fire lookout towers. These crews also helped build access roads for the construction of these towers. Fire lookouts were at peak use from the 1930s through the 1950s. During World War II fire lookouts were assigned additional duties as Enemy Aircraft Spotters protecting the countries coastal lines and beaches. By the 1960s the Fire Lookouts were being used less frequently due to the rise in technology. Many lookouts were closed, or turned in to recreational facilities. Big Hill On the Eldorado ... Maintained and staffed 7 days a week The Eldorado Naonal Forest originally had 9 lookouts at the during fire season the Big Hill Lookout is beginning of the century.

  • FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie
    FINAL AVIAN RISK ASSESSMENT Project Icebreaker in Lake Erie Cuyahoga County, Ohio Report Prepared for: Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo) October 2013 Report Prepared by: Paul Kerlinger, Ph.D., and John Guarnaccia Curry & Kerlinger, L.L.C. P.O. Box 453 Cape May Point, NJ 08212 (609) 884-2842, phone (609) 884-4569, fax [email protected] Project Icebreaker Executive Summary This report reexamines and updates potential risk to birds from the six-turbine Project Icebreaker, a demonstration wind-energy project proposed for the waters 11-16 kilometers (km) (7-10 miles) off of Cleveland, Ohio. Turbines would have an 87.5-meter (m) (287-foot) tubular steel tower on which a rotor of 120 m (394 feet) in diameter would be mounted. Rotors would sweep from a maximum height of 147.5 m (484 feet) to a minimum height of 27.5 m (90 feet) above the lake, making a rotor swept area of 11,310 m2. Each turbine would generate a nameplate capacity of 3.0 megawatts (MW). Lighting on turbines has not yet been determined, but this analysis is based on L-864, red-strobe obstruction lights mounted on nacelles, as generally required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for wind turbines. A docking platform would be constructed at the base of each turbine to allow maintenance crews to access the turbines. Potential avian risk from a demonstration wind farm in the waters off of Cleveland was considered previously in a document hereafter referred to as the 2008 risk assessment (Guarnaccia and Kerlinger 2008), which depended on research that had been conducted in Europe to date, where many of the same species as occurring in Lake Erie, or closely related species, were studied.

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.
