  • Decision Memo Monarch Pass U.S. Forest Service San Isabel National Forest Salida Ranger District Chaffee County, Colorado
    Decision Memo Monarch Pass U.S. Forest Service San Isabel National Forest Salida Ranger District Chaffee County, Colorado BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE & NEED Background: Beginning in the early 2000’s in the Weminuche Wilderness of southern Colorado, a spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) epidemic began expanding north. During stand exam field procedures in 2012, within the Monarch Mountain Ski area, active spruce beetle infestation was discovered on several plots. Further reconnaissance discovered scattered spruce beetle populations in the Monarch Mountain Ski area, Old Monarch Pass and Monarch Park areas. Prior to this time no active spruce beetle infestation had been observed in these areas. Since 2012, spruce beetle activity has increased and is now at epidemic levels across the Monarch Pass area. In some stands, mortality of the mature overstory is approaching 75 percent. In Colorado, spruce beetle has affected over 1.7 million acres since 1996. Figure 1. Example of forest conditions in the Monarch Pass area (early spring 2017). Photo by A. Rudney. — Decision Memo — Page 1 of 23 Figure 2. Example of trees killed by spruce beetle. Photo by A. Rudney. Western balsam bark beetle (Dryocoetes confusus) has been affecting stands within the ski area and across the Monarch Pass area since the early 2000’s. Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests in the area are at high risk for mountain pine beetle infestation (Dendroctonus ponderosae) due to mature age, tree size and density. In addition, increased snag (dead standing trees) levels within the ski area have exposed visitors to a higher risk of falling trees. The increase in mortality is leading to increased fuel loading and higher risks for firefighters attempting initial or extended attack on wildland fires within the project area.

Five interim Task Memoranda have been submitted previously, each reporting in detail on certain aspects of the study. A Final Report which discusses the study in a more detailed manner is submitted under separate cover. The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate water resource management plans to enhance the water-based economy of the Study Area in an environmentally sound manner. Both structural and non-structural components have been examined, evaluated and utilized to formulate alternative plans which would meet in-basin needs. A recommended plan has been identified which meets the study objective. Non-structural measures related municipal industrial sector were found to have little potential for saving water in the context of this basin-wide study because the total consumptive use in this sector is less than two percent of the total consumptive use in the entire study area at present.

  • Field Trip to Northern San Juan Volcanic Field
    ,- ' FIELD TRIP TO NORTHERN SAN JUAN VOLCANIC FIELD Days 2-3: Cochetopa Park, La Garita, San Luis, and Lake City calderas P.W. Lipman, for Colorado Scientific Society, Sept. 20-21, 2003 GEOLOGIC SETTING Andesitic to rhyolitic volcanic rocks of the central San Juan volcanic field, along with associated epithermal ores, have been studied intermittently since early in the twentieth century (Emmons and Larsen, 1913; Cross and Larsen, 1935; Larsen and Cross, 1956), culminating with the detailed study of the Creede mining district by Steven and Ratte (1965) and regional field and volcanological studies (Lipman and others, 1970; Steven and others, 1974; Steven and Lipman, 1976). While much had previously been learned about the evolution of several complex caldera clusters from 3 which at least 22 major ash-flow sheets (each 150-5,000 km ) were erupted at 30-26 Ma, recent mapping and other research initiated in support of the Creede Scientific Drilling Project (Bethke and Lipman, 1987; Bethke and Hay, 2000; Lipman, 2000) has provided major new insights for the regional stratigraphic sequence, duration of volcanism, eruptive processes, magmatic evolution, and regional structure in the central part of the volcanic field. In-progress studies,to be reviewed during this trip, are focusing on the enigmatic Cochetopa Park caldera and little-studied volcanic evolution of the northeasternSan Juan Mountains, where central San Juan units overlap older tuff sheets from caldera sources in the Sawatch Range farther to the northeast. Volcanism The San Juan Mountains are the largest erosional remnant of a composite volcanic field (Fig. 1) that covered much of the southern Rocky Mountains in middle Tertiary time (Steven, 1975).
