    Final Environmental Impact Statement Appendix C Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forests Roadless Area Inventory and Wilderness Evaluation Final Environmental Impact Statement Appendix C Roadless Area Inventory and Wilderness Evaluation Introduction This appendix displays the process used to conduct a roadless area inventory and Wilderness evaluation and the results of that analysis. The planning record document in which the roadless inventory and Wilderness evaluation is located is titled, “Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forests—Forest Plan Revision Roadless Area Inventory and Wilderness Evaluation.” This document is divided into five parts. Part One describes the Inventory part of the process. It displays authorities and requirements, criteria used during inventory, and a detailed description of steps taken on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to accomplish roadless inventory. All areas inventoried during the RARE II process (Roadless Area Review and Evaluation of 1979), as well as all other Forest Service lands in Wisconsin were included in the current roadless inventory. Part Two gives the results of the Roadless Area Inventory. It lists each area that met criteria during the inventory process and summarizes results of numeric inventory criteria measures. Nine areas continued into evaluation of Wilderness attributes. Two of those are RARE II inventoried areas and were also mapped as roadless areas in the Roadless Area Conservation Rule Final Environmental Statement. Part Three discusses Wilderness evaluation including an overview of the required process and specific factors to be used to evaluate an area’s capability and availability for Wilderness plus the need for Wilderness. Part Four includes the narratives of the Wilderness evaluation for each of the nine areas that met inventory requirements and that were displayed in Part Two.
