No changes or add! tions will <br />be necessary in forest improvements needed for administration or services <br />now provided on the national forest. <br /> <br />Protection <br /> <br />No additional improvements for fire prevention or control will be needed. <br /> <br />Resource Use and Development <br /> <br />The proposed Crawford Reservoir will attract visi tors for picnicking, boating, <br />and fishing at the reservoir. Some of this increased recreational use will <br />probably also be extended to national forest lands. However, this increased <br />use is not expected to be heavy and costs of preparing or extending recreational <br />area plans will not be significant. <br /> <br />There will be no oonfli cts wi th forest areas such as wilderness, research, <br />or other special areas. <br /> <br />Losses or Benefi ts to Resource Values <br /> <br />The project wi 11 have no effects on forest resource volumes 0 r values. <br /> <br />Impacts on Other Forest and <br />Forest Rangelands <br /> <br />There will be no effects on nonfederal forest aid rangelands. Flooding <br />of the privately owned rangelands wi 11 no t affect any grazing permi ts or <br />grazing use of national forest lands. The forest-based economy will not be <br />affected. Recreational use will occur around the reservoir and will con- <br />tribute to the local economy. <br /> <br />- 46 - <br />
