    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1963 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE SKYKOMISH RIVER 30- BY 60 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R.W. Tabor, V.A. Frizzell, Jr., D.B. Booth, R.B. Waitt, J.T. Whetten, and R.E. Zartman INTRODUCTION From the eastern-most edges of suburban Seattle, the Skykomish River quadrangle stretches east across the low rolling hills and broad river valleys of the Puget Lowland, across the forested foothills of the North Cascades, and across high meadowlands to the bare rock peaks of the Cascade crest. The quadrangle straddles parts of two major river systems, the Skykomish and the Snoqualmie Rivers, which drain westward from the mountains to the lowlands (figs. 1 and 2). In the late 19th Century mineral deposits were discovered in the Monte Cristo, Silver Creek and the Index mining districts within the Skykomish River quadrangle. Soon after came the geologists: Spurr (1901) studied base- and precious- metal deposits in the Monte Cristo district and Weaver (1912a) and Smith (1915, 1916, 1917) in the Index district. General geologic mapping was begun by Oles (1956), Galster (1956), and Yeats (1958a) who mapped many of the essential features recognized today. Areas in which additional studies have been undertaken are shown on figure 3. Our work in the Skykomish River quadrangle, the northwest quadrant of the Wenatchee 1° by 2° quadrangle, began in 1975 and is part of a larger mapping project covering the Wenatchee quadrangle (fig. 1). Tabor, Frizzell, Whetten, and Booth have primary responsibility for bedrock mapping and compilation.

  • Statement of Mark Rey Under Secretary United States Department of Agriculture
    Statement of Mark Rey Under Secretary United States Department Of Agriculture Before the Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate On June 4, 2003 Concerning S. 391 Wild Sky Wilderness Act of 2003 S. 1003 Outfitter Hunting Camps on the Salmon River 1 Mr. Chairman and members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. I am Mark Rey, Natural Resources and Environment Under Secretary for the United States Department of Agriculture. I am here today to provide the Administration’s comments on S. 391—Wild Sky Wilderness Act of 2003 and S. 1003—Outfitter Hunting Camps on the Salmon River. S. 391—The Wild Sky Wilderness Act of 2003 S. 391 would create approximately 106,000 acres of additional wilderness on the Mt. Baker- Snoqualmie National Forest in the State of Washington. It directs the Secretary to assure adequate access to private in-holdings within the Wild Sky Wilderness and establish a trail plan for hiking and equestrian trails within and adjacent to the wilderness. The bill authorizes the use of helicopter access to construct and maintain a joint Forest Service and Snohomish County repeater site to provide improved communication for safety, health, and emergency services. S. 391 also requires the Secretary to exchange specified lands with the Chelan County Public Utility District if the District offers to the Secretary approximately 371.8 acres within the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, in exchange for a permanent easement, including helicopter access, consistent with such levels as used as of the date of this bill's enactment, to maintain an existing snotel site on 1.82 acres on the Wenatchee National Forest.

RANDZIO Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF SCIENCE May 2008 Geography THE WILD SKY WILDERNESS PROPOSAL: POLITICS, PROCESS, AND PARTICIPATION IN WILDERNESS DESIGNATION A Thesis Presented by KASSIA C. RANDZIO Approved as to style and content by: ______________________________________________ Stan Stevens, Chair ______________________________________________ Piper Gaubatz, Member ______________________________________________ Laurie Brown, Department Head Geosciences ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the people of the Sky Valley and the Skykomish Ranger District employees who have allowed me to become familiar with Wild Sky, the Forest Service, and the region as a whole. This research is largely based on interviews with the many people interested in the outcome of the Wild Sky Wilderness debate, and I greatly appreciate their willingness to spend time talking with me about the proposal, public involvement, Sky Valley history, and visions for the Valley’s future. Finally, thank you to Stan Stevens and Piper Gaubatz for the many hours they have spent reading and editing my work. iii ABSTRACT THE WILD SKY WILDERNESS PROPOSAL: POLITICS, PROCESS, AND PARTICIPATION IN WILDERNESS DESIGNATION MAY 2008 KASSIA C. RANDZIO B.A., KENYON COLLEGE M.S., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Directed by: Professor Stan Stevens Wild Sky, a proposed wilderness in Washington State, has been a source of local contention since its inception. Drawing on the theories of political ecology, international conservation, and actor-based politics, this research seeks to understand the process of public participation in wilderness designation, the arguments both for and against Wild Sky, and how the wilderness proposal process could be improved.

The southwestern portion of the wilderness is only 25 miles from Puget Sound and adjacent to the fast growing communities of the Skykomish River Valley. The western part of the wilderness is characterized by very steep slopes and dramatic local relief. For example, from the North Fork Skykomish River near the town of Index, the terrain rises from about 600 feet above sea level to over 6,000 feet, on Gunn Peak, in less than 3 miles. Annual precipitation in this area runs between 150 to 200 inches annually, most of it coming as snow during the wet winter months. Runoff from the rain and snow feed streams that drop into the deep valleys below. This source of clean water is important to salmon which spawn in these reaches and provide exciting spring raft trips on the Skykomish River.

  • Board Resolution Honoring Patrick Goldsworthy Patrick Goldsworthy Served the Sierra Club Long and Well. He Was a Founder Of
    Board Resolution Honoring Patrick Goldsworthy Patrick Goldsworthy served the Sierra Club long and well. He was a founder of the Club’s Northwest Chapter, and of allied regional environmental organizations, notably the North Cascades Conservation Council (NCCC). Having joined the Club in Berkeley, he moved to Seattle, where he soon heard about illegal logging being allowed by the superintendent within Olympic National Park. He went to take photographs and helped stop the logging. His involvement with the Olympic Park Associates gave him the model for the NCCC. Most importantly of Pat’s long involvement in conservation work, for us and for all Americans—indeed, to the world—Pat led the NCCC’s conservation campaign, first for establishment of the Glacier Peak Wilderness in 1960, then for the Wilderness Act in 1964, and then the campaign to preserve one of the most iconic of our national parks: the North Cascades National Park. When Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall visited Seattle for the 1962 World’s Fair, a colleague urged Pat not to bother him with North Cascades advocacy. Not Pat: armed with maps, he waylaid Udall at a reception and laid out the case for the park. Between 1963 and 1965 a joint National Park Service-Forest Service study laid the ground-work for establishing a North Cascades National Park and adjacent large conservation units. In 1968, Congress passed the North Cascades Act. While not perfect—none are— the Act represented an important and vital start for conservation in the North Cascades. The Act, established the 684,000-acre North Cascades National Park Complex, that included the Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas, the new Pasayten Wilderness, and additions to the existing Glacier Peak Wilderness—over 1,200,000 acres in all.

  • Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13)
    Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13) Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2157 October 2008 Prepared for: Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County Everett, WA Prepared by: EDAW, Inc Seattle, WA Jackson Hydroelectric Project Executive Summary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines identify the requirement to prepare a Recreation Needs Analysis as part of a hydroelectric project license application. The Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project (Project)(FERC Project No. 2157) Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13) informs stakeholders, as well as the Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County (District) and City of Everett (City), by synthesizing recreation- and public use-related information collected during relicensing. The Recreation Needs Analysis also defines recreation needs that may be considered for implementation during a new license term; however, the results should not be interpreted as potential protection, mitigation, and enhancement (PM&E) measures. The Recreation Needs Analysis results will be considered along with the results of other relicensing studies to develop potential PM&E measures that take into account all resource needs, not only recreation and public access. The Recreation Needs Analysis consists of four primary components: Supply, Demand, Capacity, and Needs (including a non-motorized trail assessment). Pertinent summary results from each of these components include the following: Recreation Supply Analysis • District Recreation Opportunities – The existing supply of District-managed developed recreation sites in the Project area (definitions of the Project boundary, Project, and study area are provided in Section 2.1) offer multiple recreation opportunities, including flat-water boating (on Spada Lake), fishing, picnicking, sightseeing, resting and relaxing, walking and hiking (within recreation sites and along Project roads), mountain biking (along Project roads), whitewater boating (on the Sultan River), and photography and wildlife observation, among others.
