  • Chapter 3 Affected Environment
    Chapter 3 – Affected Environment Chapter 3 Affected Environment In this Chapter: • Existing natural environment • Existing human environment • Protected resources This chapter describes the existing environment that may be affected by the alternatives. A brief regional description is given here to give the reader a better understanding of the information in this chapter. The project area is in the uppermost reaches of the Columbia River Basin, within the Snake River watershed. It is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which is the largest remaining block of relatively undeveloped land in the contiguous United States. This ecosystem is centered around Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and includes the national forests, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and other federal, state, tribal, and private lands that surround these parks. The landscape is scenic. Dominant features include mountain ranges over 3,660 m (12,000 feet) high, alpine valleys, rivers, broad flat plateaus, picturesque farmlands, and the special features of the national parks. The region is known for its variety of wildlife, unequaled elsewhere in the continental United States. Species present in large numbers include bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, moose, mule deer, elk, and black bear. Wolverines, grizzly bears, and reintroduced wolves are present as well. This region attracts over 5 million tourists and recreationists per year (Wyoming Department of Commerce, 1995). Visitors and local residents enjoy sightseeing, hiking, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, camping, backpacking, horseback riding, mountain biking, snowboarding, parasailing, hunting and fishing. Because of the concentration of highly visible wildlife species in the region, wildlife-related recreation is a key element of the region’s economy and character.

    M A Y 1 9 9 7 J U N E 1 9 9 8 BPA/LOWER VALLEY TRANSMISSION PROJECT Final Environmental Impact Statement DOE/EIS–0267 Final Environmental Impact Statement BPA/Lower Valley Transmission Project Bonneville Power Administration U.S. Department of Energy and Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture June 1998 Final Environmental Impact Statement Responsible Agencies: U.S. Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA); U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS). Title of Proposed Action: BPA/Lower Valley Transmission Project, DOE/EIS-0267 States Involved: Idaho and Wyoming. Abstract: Bonneville Power Administration and Lower Valley Power and Light, Inc. propose to solve a voltage stability problem in the Jackson and Afton, Wyoming areas. Lower Valley buys electricity from BPA and then supplies it to the residences and businesses of the Jackson and Afton, Wyoming areas. Since the late 1980s, LVPL’s electrical load has been growing by an average of 4-5 megawatts (MW) per year, and LVPL expects continued growth at about this rate. During winter, an outage of one of the BPA or LVPL transmission lines that serve these areas could cause voltage on the transmission system to dip below acceptable levels in the Jackson area and to a lesser extent in the Afton area. Low voltage levels can cause brownouts, or under certain conditions, a blackout. BPA is considering five alternatives. For the Agency Proposed Action, BPA and Lower Valley would construct a new 115-kV line from BPA’s Swan Valley Substation near Swan Valley in Bonneville County, Idaho about 58 km (36 miles) east to BPA’s Teton Substation near Jackson in Teton County, Wyoming.

    WYOMING PLANT SPECIES OF CONCERN ON CARIBOU-TARGHEE NATIONAL FOREST: 2007 Survey Results Teton and Lincoln counties, Wyoming Prepared for Caribou-Targhee National Forest By Michael Mancuso and Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, Laramie, WY University of Wyoming Department 3381, 1000 East University Avenue Laramie, WY 82071 FS Agreement No. 06-CS-11041563-097 March 2008 ABSTRACT In 2007, the Caribou-Targhee NF contracted the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) to survey for the sensitive plant species Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata (sweet- flowered rock jasmine) and Astragalus paysonii (Payson’s milkvetch). The one previously known occurrence of Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata on the Caribou-Targhee NF at Taylor Mountain was not relocated, nor was the species found in seven other target areas having potential habitat. Astragalus paysonii was found to be extant and with more plants than previously reported at the Cabin Creek occurrence. It was confirmed to be extirpated at the Station Creek Campground occurrence. During surveys for Androsace , four new occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata (keeled bladderpod) and one new occurrence of Astragalus shultziorum (Shultz’s milkvetch) were discovered. In addition, the historical Lesquerella multiceps (Wasatch bladderpod) occurrence at Ferry Peak was relocated. These are all plant species of concern in Wyoming. In addition to field survey results, a review of collections at the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM) led to several occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata and Lesquerella paysonii (Payson’s bladderpod) being updated in the WYNDD database . Conservation needs for Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata , Astragalus paysonii , and the three Lesquerella species were identified during the project.

  • Teton Pass History Trail Walk Through
    Teton Pass History Trail IPhone App: Grand Teton National Park & Jackson Hole – Local history – Tours Group walking through fall foliage. Karen Reinhart. History Trail (28).jpg. Overview of the Trail Take a half-day hike along the History Trail and experience the colorful stories of people who traveled the Old Wagon Road beginning in the 1880s, and later, the Old Pass Road which was built in 1913. The Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum and the Bridger-Teton National Forest invite you to explore a piece of Jackson Hole’s history while hiking an easily accessible trail. Only about a twenty- minute drive from Jackson, Wyoming or from Victor, Idaho, the four- mile History Trail begins at the top of Teton Pass and winds eastward down the mountain ending at Trail Creek Trailhead near the town of Wilson. Early season snow may begin to accumulate in the Teton Pass area as early as mid-October, and may linger into June. So, if you want to see relics of days gone by that are visible along the trail, plan to hike during the summer. It is a non-motorized hiking trail that is open to horse or foot traffic only. While dogs are allowed on the trail, carry a leash and be respectful of others. Be alert to the possibility of moose and bears in the area. 1 We recommend beginning the History Trail hike at the top of Teton Pass and hiking down. Ambitious hikers may also experience the trail from the bottom up or may wish to combine the History Trail with the Old Pass Road for loop options.
