  • Turn Point Light Station Improvements Environmental Assessment OR134-07-EA-013 Spokane District, Wenatchee Resource Area
    Turn Point Light Station Improvements OR134-07-EA-013 Turn Point Light Station Improvements Environmental Assessment OR134-07-EA-013 Spokane District, Wenatchee Resource Area Introduction The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing site improvements on public lands it manages at Turn Point Light Station. The Turn Point Light Station is located on Stuart Island in the San Juan Islands, Washington. The Light Station is located in San Juan County and is in the Wenatchee Resource Area. The legal description is Township 37 North, Range 4 West, Section 20. The public lands at Turn Point Light Station are administered by the BLM’s Spokane District, Wenatchee Resource Area, Lopez Island Office. Background Turn Point Light Station came under BLM administration after the transfer of facilities from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in 1991. The BLM initiated plans to preserve and stabilize the Historic structures. Many of these plans have been implemented. A new cedar shingle roof on the Keeper’s Quarters was installed, an interpretive sign was placed, and a composting outhouse was constructed in 1992. The historic structures were repaired and repainted in 1995 and two of the three water tanks, higher on the hill to the south, were removed in 2002. During the summer of 2005 work was completed to clean up the structures and prepare for the next phase of rehabilitation. The site is eligible for inclusion into the National Register of Historic Places. The property is an example of a historic light station serving as an Aid to Navigation in Puget Sound for over 100 years.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Proclamation 8947
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Proclamation 8947—Establishment of the San Juan Islands National Monument March 25, 2013 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Within Washington State's Puget Sound lies an archipelago of over 450 islands, rocks, and pinnacles known as the San Juan Islands. These islands form an unmatched landscape of contrasts, where forests seem to spring from gray rock and distant, snow-capped peaks provide the backdrop for sandy beaches. Numerous wildlife species can be found here, thriving in the diverse habitats supported by the islands. The presence of archeological sites, historic lighthouses, and a few tight-knit communities testifies that humans have navigated this rugged landscape for thousands of years. These lands are a refuge of scientific and historic treasures and a classroom for generations of Americans. The islands are part of the traditional territories of the Coast Salish people. Native people first used the area near the end of the last glacial period, about 12,000 years ago. However, permanent settlements were relatively uncommon until the last several hundred years. The Coast Salish people often lived in villages of wooden-plank houses and used numerous smaller sites for fishing and harvesting shellfish. In addition to collecting edible plants, and hunting various birds and mammals, native people used fire to maintain meadows of the nutritionally rich great camas. Archaeological remains of the villages, camps, and processing sites are located throughout these lands, including shell middens, reef net locations, and burial sites. Wood- working tools, such as antler wedges, along with bone barbs used for fishing hooks and projectile points, are also found on the islands.

  • Turn Point Light Station Historic Site Maintenance & Rehabilitation
    DECISION RECORD Turn Point Light Station Historic Site Maintenance & Rehabilitation DOI-BLM-OR-134-2015-CX-0003 Bureau of Land Management, Spokane District San Juan Islands National Monument PO Box 3 Lopez, Washington 98261 1. Background In late fall of 2014, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) conducted evaluation and needs in further rehabilitation of Turn Point Light Station, on Stuart Island. Stuart Island is in San Juan County, Washington. The evaluation concluded that ongoing rehabilitation is appropriate, to be accomplished through a variety of measures. This CX reviews several of those processes, that build on previous accomplishments, and will create a foundation for further rehabilitation, with the overall accomplishment in mind of a historic lighthouse facility, restored to 1950’s use period, a museum, and maintained grounds. The BLM will continue to ensure that the priority of projects meets the historical status of the building, cultural protections relating to tribes, public health and safety standards, and optimizes opportunities to support stewardship through the Turn Point Lighthouse Preservation Society, and other partners and BLM volunteers. As a result of these findings, the IDT analyzed effects of measures to continue to maintain and rehabilitate historic structures and landscapes of Turn Point Light Station on BLM-administered lands in the analysis area (action area), in the Turn Point Light Station Historic Site Maintenance & Rehabilitation Categorical Exclusion (DOI-BLM-OR-134- 2015-0003). 2. Decision It is my decision to continue with next steps toward rehabilitation the keeper’s residence interiors, and accomplish a safe site for historic structures and visitors, bringing the Fog Signal Building and Oil Storage Building up to code with restored, upgraded electrical installations, with the installation of an electrical pump to the historic cistern establishing a non-potable water source for cleaning and landscape maintenance, and with maintenance of hazard trees in the setting.
