Colorado. These meetings were <br />used to identify any new issues, solicit <br />resource data from the public, and explain <br />the study procedures to be used. <br /> <br />A second seri es of scopi n9 meet; ngs were <br />held in August of 1981 to present the <br />proposed alternati yes for each of the <br />WSAs. At these workshops, information <br />pertaining to a preferred alternative was <br />solicited, as well as a request for any <br />additional alternatiyes not addressed by <br />BlM. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IDENTIFICATIDN <br /> <br />BLM used the information obtained as a <br />result of seoping meetings, comments <br />received during the inventory process. and <br />input from BlM professionals to identify <br />concerns associated with the fiye WSAs. Of <br />these, the following were determined to be <br />important issues and are analyzed in the <br />FEIS. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />1. Effects on Wl1 derness Val ues - The <br />wilderness values of naturalness, <br />solitude. primitive recreation and <br />various special resource values could <br />benefit from wilderness designation. <br />The same values may be adversely <br />a ffected by uses that waul d occur <br />shaul d the WSAs not be designated <br />wi 1 derness. The s i gni fi cance of these <br />beneficial or adverse impacts is an <br />issue for analysis in all five WSAs <br />addressed in this EIS. <br /> <br />2. Effects on Development of Mineral <br />Resources Wilderness designation <br />could affect the exploration and <br />deye10pment of potential and known <br />mi neral reSOUrces by wi thdrawing <br />designated lands from mineral entry. <br />Development of existing mineral claims <br />within designated wilderness areas <br />caul d be affected by wi] derness <br />management restrictions. Oil and gas <br />and salable minerals do not exist in <br />any of the WSAs and are not an issue. <br />The impact of wilderness designation on <br />the exp1cration and deye10pment of <br />potential and known mineral resources <br />is an issue for analysis in all five <br />WSAs. <br /> <br />3. Effects on Recreat; on Use <br />Wilderness designation could affect the <br />ayail abil ity of opportuni ti es for <br />motorized recreation. If not <br />designated. development activities <br />could result in a shift in recreation <br />use from primiti ve backcountry type <br />settings to those affected by roads and <br />other man made intrusions. The effect <br />of designation or nondesignation is an <br />issue in all fiye WSAs. <br /> <br />4. Effects on Access - Designation as <br />wilderness could place constraints on <br />
