  • Prescribed Fire in the Wilderness
    United States Forest Deschutes National Forest Willamette National Forest Department of Service 63096 Deschutes Market Road 3106 Pierce Parkway, Suite D Agriculture Bend, OR 97701 Springfield, OR 97477 File Code: 1950 Date: January 9, 2013 Dear Interested Party: The Deschutes and Willamette National Forests would like to know your concerns, questions, and suggestions regarding a project proposal to use management-ignited prescribed fire in the Mt. Washington and Three Sisters Wildernesses. The proposed project is called Prescribed Fire in the Wilderness: Scott Mountain and Cascade Lakes Planning Areas and is located in two distinct geographic areas on the Deschutes and Willamette National Forests. The project proposes to use management-ignited prescribed fire to protect wilderness values and reduce risk to values outside of the wilderness by modifying fuel conditions within the wilderness. Modifying fuel conditions within the wilderness would increase the likelihood that lightning- caused fires can play their natural ecological role in the wildernesses. Modified fuel loadings within the wilderness would also reduce the threat of wilderness fires moving outside the wilderness and improve safety conditions for firefighters suppressing fires that threaten to burn outside of the wilderness. The 1964 Wilderness Act envisions areas that are dedicated to, “…a future untrammeled, undeveloped, natural environment1 ….” Ideally, natural processes - including lightning-caused fires – are the predominant disturbances within these special areas. To this end, Forest Service policy directs the agency to, “Permit lightning-caused fires to play, as nearly as possible, their natural ecological role in wilderness2…,” and to, “Reduce, to an acceptable level, the risk and consequences of a wildfire within wilderness or escaping from wilderness3.” The existing condition of forest fuels in the Mt.

The Oregon Trout Plan, which was prepared as a secondary level.of planning under the Fish Management Policy,.gives the direction for preparation of basin and subbasin plans as well as plans for individual rivers and standing water bodies. The following document is an operational plan for Hosmer Lake. III. overview Hosmer Lake and it's water supply are·entirely in US Forest Service ownership. The lake and adjacent lands, are managed by the Forest under recreation and visual classifications. The water of the lake is state-owned and the fish resources are managed by the. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). Hosmer Lake is a natural lake located about 40 miles west of Bend via County Road 46 (Century Drive) and Forest Road 470 (figure 1). One main campground, one overflow campground and a concrete boat ramp are managed by the Deschutes National Forest. Hosmer Lake covers 160 surface acres and lies at an elevation of 4,950 feet. Maximum water depth is 11 feet (figure 2) and most of the lake is very shallow. The only inlet to the lake is Quinn Creek, a spring-fed stream with a flow of 25 cfs and a near-constant temperature of 42°F.
