    West Walker River Watershed Plan Management Plan March-2007 West Walker River Watershed Management Plan 1 Context Watershed approach California’s watershed programs and Mono County’s involvement Overview of issues and problems Problems linked to potential causes Water quantity Water quality Vegetation change Potential watershed problems and risks Knowledge and information gaps General principles of this watershed plan Main issues and potential solutions List of issues and solutions Potential problems of the future Recommended policies and programs List of goals, objectives, possible actions, and details Applicable best management practices Opportunities for governmental agencies and citizens groups Public education and outreach Monitoring Summary and conclusions Literature cited CONTEXT Watershed Approach The natural unit for considering most water-related issues and problems is the watershed. A watershed can be simply defined as the land contributing water to a stream or river above some particular point. Natural processes and human activities in a watershed influence the quantity and quality of water that flows to the point of interest. Despite the obvious connections between watersheds and the streams that flow from them, water problems are typically looked at and dealt with in an isolated manner. Many water West Walker River Watershed Management Plan 2 problems have been treated within the narrow confines of political jurisdictions, property boundaries, technical specialties, or small geographic areas. Many water pollution problems, flood hazards, or water supply issues have only been examined within a short portion of the stream or within the stream channel itself. What happens upstream or upslope has been commonly ignored. The so-called watershed approach merely attempts to look at the broad picture of an entire watershed and how processes and activities within that watershed affect the water that arrives at the defining point.

  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    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. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

    31. Grass Lake (Beguin and Major 1975, Burke 1987, Berg 1991a) Location This established RNA is in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit in the Eldorado National Forest. It lies immediately W. of Luther Pass on State Highway 89 and is approximately 12 miles (19 km) SSE. of South Lake Tahoe. It lies within sects. 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, and 24 T11N, R18E MDBM (38°47'N., 119°59'W.), USGS Freel Peak quad (fig. 64). Ecological subsection – Glaciated Batholith and Volcanic Flows (M261Ek). Target Element Moss Bog Distinctive Features Significance of the Bog: Peatlands and bogs are rare in California. Grass Lake is Figure 64—Grass the largest Sphagnum bog in California and is considered the best representative Lake RNA floating bog in the Sierra Nevada (fig. 65). Grass Lake has been the focus of several scientific surveys including palynological and phytosociological research. Dashed line = Ecological study area; Solid gray line Varied and Pristine Environment: This is a large site with a complex association = RNA Boundary of habitats ranging from aquatic and meadow types through upland forest types. This diversity, along with a largely intact watershed surrounding the marshlands and meadows, contributes to the value of this site. This site supports a number of boreal plant species unusual in the Sierra Nevada. In addition, several species of plants occur locally at substantially lower elevations than typical elsewhere in the Sierra Nevada. Along with a few uncommon or disjunct plants, the wetlands support three species of carnivorous plants and four species of orchids. The plant associations are relatively pristine with virtually no introduced plants in the bog and meadow associations.
