Stehekin River Classification Stehekin Wild & Scenic River Eligibility Report FINAL DRAFT May 2002 Acknowledgments . The National Park Service gratefully acknowledges the support and assistance of the U.S. Forest Service Wenatchee and Okanogan National Forests – their assistance was critical in this report’s development. Special thanks also to the staff at the North Cascades National Park for helping to make the field work a very pleasant and informative experience. Executive Summary This study report evaluates the eligibility and classification of the Stehekin River watershed, located in the North Cascades Mountains of Washington State, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (National System). This evaluation is done partially in settlement of a cause of action brought by the North Cascades Conservation Council1, but primarily as a Department of the Interior requirement for normal management planning processes. The Stehekin River and its tributaries constitute a comparatively small watershed. Most of the natural and cultural resources found in the watershed are dependent not just on the main stem of the Stehekin River, but also on its tributaries. There is also no clear demarcation between most resources throughout the watershed. For these reasons, it is appropriate to consider the entire Stehekin River system as a single unit for the purposes of this evaluation, with the exception of classifying segments of the river as described later. Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Act), the river must meet physical requirements (eligibility). These physical requirements are: 1) the river must be free-flowing; and 2) the river must have at least one resource important or unique to the region or nation. If a river is eligible for the National System, the Act provides for three possible classifications of one or more segments of the river – “wild,” “scenic,” or “recreational.” These classifications are based on the degree of human modification of the river and adjacent shorelands. Because levels of human activity and development are not uniform throughout the Stehekin River watershed, it was appropriate to divide the river into smaller units in order to consider appropriate classifications for each segment as allowed under the Act. Segment 1 extends from the river’s mouth at Lake Chelan and ends at High Bridge, approximately 11 miles. Segment 2 is from High Bridge to Cottonwood Campground, roughly 12 miles. Segment 3, from Cottonwood Campground to the river’s headwaters, is approximately 6 miles in length. All the tributaries were also evaluated. To thoroughly evaluate the entire watershed, the first one-quarter mile of each tributary from Lake Chelan to High Bridge was studied separately from the rest of its length – this allowed separate classifications due to higher levels of human use and development in these lower areas. There two exceptions to this: 1) The first one-half mile of Company Creek was considered separately due to a hydroelectric project; and 2) one- half mile of Bridge Creek where it passes under the North Cascades Highway (one-quarter mile on each side of the highway) was considered separately. Above High Bridge, tributaries were considered in their entirety. All segments of the river were found to be eligible for designation based on their free-flowing conditions and their outstanding resource values. Segment 1, from the Lake Chelan to High 1 The North Cascades Conservation C ouncil sued the National Park Service over riprapping along roads in the North Cascades National Park Complex. As part of the settlem ent, the National Park Service agreed to assess the eligibility of the Stehekin River as a wild and scenic river. i Bridge, is “recreational” due to the increased level of human activity/development in the river corridor and the accessibility to the river from adjacent roads and bridge crossings. Segment 2, from High Bridge to Cottonwood Campground, was determined to be “scenic” due to its more limited accessibility by roads and the lack of evidence of substantial human activity. Segment 3, extending from Cottonwood Campground to the river’s headwaters, is undeveloped and has very limited access by trail, and therefore merits classification as “wild.” In addition, the first quarter mile of each tributary, beginning with Lake Chelan through High Bridge, from its confluence with the Stehekin River would be classified as “recreational,” due to bridges, trails, and residential development. The rest of these tributaries’ lengths would be classified as “wild,” as would all tributaries above High Bridge. Company Creek, with its hydroelectric project located approximately one-half mile away from the river, would be recreational for the first one-half mile, then wild for the rest of its length. Bridge Creek, which has been modified by construction of the North Cascades Scenic Highway on its upper reaches, would be “recreational” for its first one-quarter mile and for one-quarter mile on each side of the highway; the rest of the river would be “wild.” ii iii Table of Contents INTRODUCTION ...............................................................1 Purpose ..................................................................1 Wild & Scenic Rivers Act – Criteria and Process ...............................1 Study Area/Segments – Stehekin River Watershed ............................2 Existing Federal Management ..............................................3 Stephen Mather Wilderness and Glacier Peak Wilderness .................3 Wenatchee National Forest and Okanogan National Forest ...............4 North Cascades National Park Complex ................................4 North Cascades National Park ..................................4 Lake Chelan National Recreational Area .........................5 EVALUATION OF ELIGIBILITY ..................................................6 Free-Flowing Condition ....................................................6 Segment 1 – Lake Chelan to High Bridge ...............................6 Segment 2 – High Bridge to Cottonwood Campground ...................6 Segment 3 – Cottonwood Campground to the Headwaters ...............6 Tributaries .........................................................7 Conclusion .........................................................7 Outstandingly Remarkable Values ..........................................7 Wildlife ............................................................8 Birds ........................................................8 Mammals ...................................................10 Herptiles ....................................................11 Conclusion ..................................................11 Fish ..............................................................11 Conclusion ..................................................14 Prehistoric Resources ...............................................14 Conclusion ..................................................16 Historic Resources .................................................16 Conclusion ..................................................19 Geology ...........................................................19 Conclusion ..................................................21 Scenic Resources ...................................................21 Conclusion ..................................................23 Recreation .........................................................23 Whitewater Rafting ...........................................24 Other Recreational Boating ....................................24 Fishing .....................................................25 Hunting ....................................................25 Hiking ......................................................25 Camping ....................................................25 Conclusion ..................................................26 iv Other Exceptional Values ...........................................26 Vegetation/Botany ...........................................26 Conclusion ..................................................28 Conclusion ........................................................28 CLASSIFICATION .............................................................30 Elements of Classification and the Stehekin River .............................30 Water Resource Developments .......................................31 Shoreline Development .............................................32 Accessibility .......................................................32 Water Quality .....................................................32 Stehekin River Classification ...............................................33 Segment 1 – Lake Chelan to High Bridge ..............................33 Segment 2 – High Bridge to Cottonwood Campground ..................33 Segment 3 – Cottonwood Campground to the Headwaters ..............33 Tributaries ........................................................34 Conclusions .......................................................34 CONCLUSIONS ...............................................................36 Appendix A – Acronyms and Abbreviations .......................................38 Appendix B – Bibliography ......................................................39 Appendix C – Report Preparers & Reviewers ......................................41 v INTRODUCTION Purpose The purpose of this study is two-fold.

  • Okanagan Water Systems: an Historical Retrospect of Control, Domination and Change
    OKANAGAN WATER SYSTEMS: AN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT OF CONTROL, DOMINATION AND CHANGE by MARLOWE SAM B.A., The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2008 © Marlowe Sam, 2008 Abstract In this study, I examine the history of colonial control, domination, and change that began in the Interior Plateau region of British Columbia in 1811 when interaction between the Syilx (Okanagan) and European explorers first occurred. I focus on water use practices in particular, employing an indigenous Syilx approach (En’owkinwixw) in order to display the negative impacts of colonial policies on the Syilx and their environment. The En’owkinwixw methodology, which calls for the incorporation of multiple perspectives, is thousands of years old, but has been modified here from its original consensus-based decision-making process. The manner in which the U.S. government developed resource and water management policies in America’s arid Far West directly influenced the models that were later adopted by British Columbia and Canada. U.S. Supreme Court decisions along with a number of international treaties and trade agreements between the United States and Canada have also compromised the ability of the Syilx to maintain a sustainable and harmonious relationship with their environment. Depression era policies in the United States led to the implementation of large-scale projects such as the damming of the Columbia River that had further negative consequences on the environment of the Interior Plateau.

Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

  • Fishing Guide to the North Cascades As a Resource As You Begin Your Next Fishing Adventure
    National Park Service Fishing Guide U.S. Department of the Interior to the North Cascades INTRODUCTION North Cascades National Park Complex has numerous high-quality fishing opportunities for anglers to catch native fish in their native habitats. Salmon can be caught in the Skagit River and cutthroat trout in the Stehekin River and its tributaries. Native rainbow trout can be caught is Ross, Diablo and Gorge Lakes. The NPS continues to work to preserve and enhance these fisheries and fishing opportunities. The park also continues to provide access to fisheries with boat ramps, docks, trails, campground and information. Please use the Fishing Guide to the North Cascades as a resource as you begin your next fishing adventure. A second version is being developed and will be released later this year. For current information, visit www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/boating-and-fishing.htm REGULATIONS In order to protect spawning fish populations, it is necessary to comply with special state and federal regulations including closures, seasons, catch limits, and gear restrictions. For the most up-to-date fishing regulations, consult Fishing in Washington, a publication by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife or visit wdfw.wa.gov July 2009 EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA ™ North Cascades National Park Complex PLACES TO FISH The fresh, cold and often glacially-fed lakes, rivers, and streams of the North Cascades provides perfect habitat to support many healthy fish populations.
