Between 1930 and 1940, approximately 18,000 tons of ore were mined from a low grade copper deposit (Stotelmeyer and others, 1982). DGER personnel vis- ited the site on July 12, 2001. Workings observed consisted of the open 11,000- foot Trinity tunnel adit, the caved St. Francis adit located 2.5 miles up Phelps Creek, and an open unnamed newer adit. The openings have locked but ineffec- tive doors. Both open adits discharge water into Phelps Creek. Previous work by the USFS raised concerns about ele- vated zinc levels in Phelps Creek. One Figure 2. Trinity townsite circa 1937. Concentrating mill in center; powerhouse in background on sample of the Trinity tunnel discharge right; saw mill in foreground. Only the powerhouse remains today. View to the north. analyzed at nearly ten times the WAC 173-201A chronic water quality standard for zinc (Table 5). Waste rock from all openings totals approximately 30,000 cubic yards of mostly unmin- eralized shot rock. Waste rock in the St. Francis area is eroding into Phelps Creek. Little remains of the 350-ton flotation mill at the Trinity townsite. No tailings were identified during this visit. SETTING The Royal Development Company op- erated the Red Mountain mine on the southern end of Phelps Ridge in the Entiat Mountains. Phelps Ridge is the south-southeast–trending shoulder of Red Mountain that divides Phelps Creek from the Chiwawa River. The site is approximately 42 miles north of Leavenworth. The privately owned townsite of Trinity includes the mill site and camp. It lies at 2800 feet elevation at the end of the Chiwawa River Road, near

Upper Columbia River Basins Critical Habitat Unit The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU includes the entire drainages of three CHSUs in central and north-central Washington on the east slopes of the Cascade Range and east of the Columbia River between Wenatchee, Washington, and the Okanogan River drainage: (1) Wenatchee River CHSU in Chelan County; (2) Entiat River CHSU in Chelan County; and (3) Methow River CHSU in Okanogan County. The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU also includes the Lake Chelan and Okanogan basins which historically provided spawning and rearing and FMO habitat and currently the Chelan Basin is essential and provides for FMO habitat to support migratory bull trout in this CHU. No critical habitat is proposed in the Okanogan River at this time. Bull trout have been recently observed in the Okanogan River near Osoyoos Lake, but it is unclear if it is essential habitat and what role this drainage may play in recovery. A total of 1,074.9 km (667.9 mi) of streams and 1,033.2 ha (2,553.1 ac) of lake surface area in this CHU are proposed as critical habitat to provide for spawning and rearing, FMO habitat to support three core areas essential for conservation and recovery.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.

  • Cle Elum River
    Wild and Scenic Rivers Eligibility Assessment Wenatchee National Forest APPENDIX E ASSESSMENT OF RNERS AS TO THEIR ELIGIBILITYAND SUITABILITY FOR DESIGNATION UNDER THE WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS ACT I. INTRODUCTION The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, as amended, was enacted by Congress to provide Federal protection for selected free-flowing rivers within the United States. During the initial preparation of the Draft Envl- ronmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and The Proposed Land and Resource Management Plan for the Wenatchee National Forest, a study of certain rivers on the Forest was undertaken to determine their potential eligibility and suitability for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic River System. At that time, the study was confined, with the exception of the Entiat drainage, to those rivers listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, originally published by the Department of Intenor in 1980, and updated in 1982. This inventory was developed to identify rivers which would, by virtue of then exceptional natural, cultural, scenic or recreation resources, qualify for further consideration for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System. The Wenatchee, White and Chiwawa Rivers, and Icicle Creek were identifed in the mventory as meeting these criteria. The mitial Forest planning effort also included the Entiat River and two tributaries, in response to public interest expressed at that time. As a result of both in-Service review and the analysis of comments received from the public during the comment period for the DEIS, the Forest Supervisor assigned an Interdisciplinary (ID) Team the task of malong a reassessment of eligibility for all rivers on the Wenatchee National Forest.
