Owl Mountain Wilderness Evaluation
May-June 2009 Owl Mountain Wilderness Evaluation WILDERNESS EVALUATION Owl Mountain – 621016 11,083 acres OVERVIEW History The 2006 inventory identified this area as meeting the criteria for a potential wilderness area (PWA) as described in Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12, Chapter 70. The area had not been identified in any previous inventory. The following chart depicts the current 1988 Colville National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan direction for the 2006 inventoried area. Table 1--Management area percentages (rounded) Colville National Forest MA1 MA10 MA5 MA6 MA7 MA8 Old Growth Semi- Scenic Scenic/ Wood/ Winter Dependant primitive, Timber Winter Forage Range Species Motorized range Habitat Recreation 32% 37% 9% 12% 6% 3% Location and Access The Owl Mountain Proposed Wilderness Area (PWA) is contained wholly within Ferry County in T. 40 N., R. 35 E., Sec. 1, 12 13, 23, 24, and 25; and T. 40 N, R. 36 E., Sec. 3 – 10, 15 – 22, 27 – 31, and 34. The area is accessed on the east side through the Little Boulder/Independent Creek road systems, ultimately Forest Road 9576-370, which ends at a road closure on Huckleberry Ridge. There is no access from the north because of the Canadian border. The northeast side of the area is extremely rugged and steep and provides no access. Access from the southeast side is along U.S. Highway 395. However, very few people actually access the area from this side. The terrain on the lower slope is such that few hike up from the highway. Most of the access to this area is derived from driving into the heart of the Kerry Creek watershed on Forest Road 9576-150, which leads to the east end of Forest Trail 102 (Owl Mountain Motorized Trail). -

The Wild Cascades
THE WILD CASCADES Fall, 1984 2 The Wild Cascades PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ONCE THE LINES ARE DRAWN, THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER The North Cascades Conservation Council has developed a reputation for consistent, hard-hitting, responsible action to protect wildland resources in the Washington Cascades. It is perhaps best known for leading the fight to preserve and protect the North Cascades in the North Cascades National Park, the Pasayten and Glacier Peak Wilderness Areas, and the Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. Despite the recent passage of the Washington Wilderness Act, many areas which deserve and require wilderness designation remain unprotected. One of the goals of the N3C must be to assure protection for these areas. In this issue of the Wild Cascades we have analyzed the Washington Wilderness Act to see what we won and what still hangs in the balance (page ). The N3C will continue to fight to establish new wilderness areas, but there is also a new challenge. Our expertise is increasingly being sought by government agencies to assist in developing appropriate management plans and to support them against attempts to undermine such plans. The invitation to participate more fully in management activities will require considerable effort, but it represents a challenge and an opportunity that cannot be ignored. If we are to meet this challenge we will need members who are either knowledgable or willing to learn about an issue and to guide the Board in its actions. The Spring issue of the Wild Cascades carried a center section with two requests: 1) volunteers to assist and guide the organization on various issues; and 2) payment of dues. -

MARTS** The Skagit-High Ross Controversy: Negotiation and Settlement SETTING AND BACKGROUND The Skagit River is a short but powerful stream which rises in the mountains of southwestern British Columbia, cuts through the northern Cascades in a spectacular and once-remote mountain gorge, and empties into Puget Sound approximately sixty miles north of Seattle. The beautiful mountain scenery of the heavily glaciated north Cascades was formally recognized in the United States by the creation of the North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area in 1968, and earlier in British Columbia by creation of the E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The Ross Lake Recreation Area covers the narrow valley of the upper Skagit River in Washington and portions of several tributary valleys. It was created as a political and, to environmentalists who wanted national park status for the entire area, controversial, compromise which accom- modated the city of Seattle's Skagit River Project and the then-planned North Cascades Highway. -
