The Wild Cascades
THE WILD CASCADES April-May 1969 2 THE WILD CASCADES MORE (BUT NOT THE LAST) ABOUT ALPINE LAKES We recently carried in these pages an article by Brock Evans, Northwest Conservation Representative, on Alpine Lakes: Stepchild of the North Cascades. Mr. L. O. Barrett, Supervisor of Snoqualmie National Forest, feels the article contained "some rather significant misinterpretations" and has asked the opportunity to respond. Following are Mr. Barrett's comments on portions of Mr. Evans' article, together with Mr. Evans' rejoinders. Barrett: The Alpine Lakes Area is still wilderness quality in part because of the nature of the land, and in part because the Forest Service has managed it as wilderness type area since 1946. We will continue to protect it from timber harvesting, mining and excessive recreation use until Congress makes a decision about its suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Evans: The wilderness parts of the Alpine Lakes region that are being lost are those which the Forest Service has chosen not to manage as wilderness. The 1946 date referred to is the date of the establishment of the Alpine Lake Limited Area. This designation granted a measure of administrative protection to a substantial part of the region; but much was left out. The logging in the Miller River, Foss River, Deception Creek, Cooper Lake, and Eight Mile Creek valleys all took place in wilderness-type areas which we proposed for protection which were outside the limited area. The Forest Service cannot protect its lands from mineral prospecting or, ulti mately, from mining operations of some types — because of the mining laws. -
Stand Density Conditions for Umatilla National Forest: a Range of Variation Analysis
WHITE PAPER F14-SO-WP-SILV-50 Stand Density Conditions for Umatilla National Forest: A Range of Variation Analysis David C. Powell; Forest Silviculturist Supervisor’s Office; Pendleton, OR Initial Version: FEBRUARY 20131 Most Recent Revision: JUNE 2013 INTRODUCTION Umatilla National Forest adopted a program-of-work (POW) process in February 2013 involving three criteria: 1. Values at risk, including human infrastructure (Johnson 2013). 2. Subwatersheds where existing stand density exceeds a range of variation for stand density. 3. Unique habitats such as old-growth forests, aspen clones, riparian habitat conserva- tion areas, and meadows (Archuleta 2013). This white paper describes a process used to assess stand density conditions for Umatilla National Forest. A Forest-wide, stand-density assessment was completed to meet project planning needs associated with criterion #2 of a POW process. This assessment uses an analytical technique called the range of variation (RV), de- fined as a range of conditions likely to have occurred in the Blue Mountains prior to Euro-American settlement in mid-1800s. A white paper (WP Silv-3) provides concepts, principles, and methods relating to range of variation (Powell 2019) – that white paper provides more information about RV. Briefly, a stand-density assessment involved 4 steps: (1) compiling a dataset charac- terizing stand density conditions for Umatilla NF, (2) stratifying density data by biophysi- cal environment, (3) completing an RV analysis by using subwatersheds as landscape units, and (4) summarizing results while also accounting for land-use restrictions. 1 White papers are internal reports; they receive only limited review. Viewpoints expressed in this paper are those of the author – they may not represent positions of USDA Forest Service. -
San Mateo County
Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of San Mateo County San Pedro San Pedro Creek flows northwesterly, entering the Pacific Ocean at Pacifica State Beach. It drains a watershed about eight square miles in area. The upper portions of the drainage contain springs (feeding the south and middle forks) that produce perennial flow in the creek. Documents with information regarding steelhead in the San Pedro Creek watershed may refer to the North Fork San Pedro Creek and the Sanchez Fork. For purposes of this report, these tributaries are considered as part of the mainstem. A 1912 letter regarding San Mateo County streams indicates that San Pedro Creek was stocked. A fishway also is noted on the creek (Smith 1912). Titus et al. (in prep.) note DFG records of steelhead spawning in the creek in 1941. In 1968, DFG staff estimated that the San Pedro Creek steelhead run consisted of 100 individuals (Wood 1968). A 1973 stream survey report notes, “Spawning habitat is a limiting factor for steelhead” (DFG 1973a, p. 2). The report called the steelhead resources of San Pedro Creek “viable and important” but cited passage at culverts, summer water diversion, and urbanization effects on the stream channel and watershed hydrology as placing “the long-term survival of the steelhead resource in question”(DFG 1973a, p. 5). The lower portions of San Pedro Creek were surveyed during the spring and summer of 1989. Three O. mykiss year classes were observed during the study throughout the lower creek. Researchers noticed “a marked exodus from the lower creek during the late summer” of yearling and age 2+ individuals, many of which showed “typical smolt characteristics” (Sullivan 1990). -
Chapter 16. Mid-Columbia Recovery Unit—Grande Ronde River Critical Habitat Unit
Bull Trout Final Critical Habitat Justification: Rationale for Why Habitat is Essential, and Documentation of Occupancy Chapter 16. Mid-Columbia Recovery Unit—Grande Ronde River Critical Habitat Unit 447 Bull Trout Final Critical Habitat Justification Chapter 16 U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service September 2010 Chapter 16. Grande Ronde River Critical Habitat Unit The Grande Ronde River CHU is essential to the conservation of bull trout because is supports strong bull trout populations and provides high-quality habitat to potentially expand bull trout distribution and is considered to be essential for bull trout recovery in the Mid-Columbia RU. The eleven populations in this CHU are spread over a large geographical area with multiple age classes, containing both resident and fluvial fish. This bull trout stronghold also has a prey base; connectivity with the Snake River; general distribution of bull trout throughout the habitat; and varying habitat conditions. But in several of the populations, including the Wenaha River, Lostine River, Lookingglass Creek, and Little Minam River populations, excellent habitat conditions exist; many streams and rivers are designated as Wild and Scenic Rivers and/or located within or near Wilderness areas. Two wilderness areas are designated within the Grande Ronde River basin. The Eagle Cap Wilderness is located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, encompasses 146,272 (ha) (361,446 ac), and includes most of the Minam, upper Wallowa and Lostine river drainages as well as Bear Creek and Hurricane Creek and a small portion of Catherine Creek. Federal Wild and Scenic River status is designated for the Lostine and Minam Rivers and Oregon State Scenic Waterway status is designated to the Minam and Wallowa Rivers. -

The quadrangle is mostly rugged and remote and includes much of the North Cascade National Park and several dedicated Wilderness areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Geologic exploration has been slow and difficult. In 1858 George Gibbs (1874) ascended the Skagit River part way to begin the geographic and geologic exploration of the North Cascades. In 1901, Reginald Daly (1912) surveyed the 49th parallel along the Canadian side of the border, and George Smith and Frank Calkins (1904) surveyed the United States' side. Daly's exhaustive report was the first attempt to synthesize what has become an extremely complicated geologic story. -
