In addition, wilderness values would eventually be lost on 10,175 acres recommended as nonsuitable as a result of alunite mining and other small mineral operations. Although a total of 40,575 acres would be designated and protected as wilderness. potential mineral develop- ment resulting from valid existing rights could affect 3,000 acres and reduce the acreage on which wilderness values are actually pre- served to 37,575. Approximately 520 to 585 acres would be disturbed from various mineral acti- ties. Wilderness values would be directly lost on about 11,000 acres as a result of these activities. In the long term wilderness values would be lost on the entire 40,575 acres. Although a total of 37,500 acres would be designated and protected as wilderness. potential mineral develop- ment resulting from valid existing rights could affect 2,000 acres and reduce the acreage on which wilderness values are actually preserved to 35,530. Wilderness values would also be lost on the 3,045 acres recommended nonsuitable. Although 11,140 acres would be designated and protected as wilder- ness, potential develop- ment resulting from valid existing rights could reduce the acreage on which wilderness values would actually be pre- served to 9,140. In addition wilderness values would be lost on about g,OOO acres in the nonsuitable portion of the WSA as a result of alunite mining and other small mineral operations. In the long term wilder- ness values would be lost on the 29,435 acres recommended nonsuitable.
