WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY REPORT The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River Wild and Scenic River Study Report (see Appendix I) provides the background information and compiled resource data regarding the eligibility, classification, and suitability or non-suitability of the segments of the river for potential inclusion into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The information in the study report is extracted from Ihe various chapters and sections of this RMPIEIS and from other sources. The study report includes maps and other data regarding the setting of the river corridor as required by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and BLM regulations and policy. In reviewing other streams in the planning area to determine which, if any, should be studied in INTRODUCTION accordance with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, CebolIa and Cochetopa Creeks were examined by tbe team. These streams were analyzed to determine if the wild and scenic rivers eligibility criteria would be met. Both are free-flowing, but neither possesses outstandingly remarkable values. These two streams therefore are not studied further in this document. Table 1-6 shows the mileage and study termini for these two streams. OTtiER AGENCY DOCUMENTS To reduce or avoid conflicts between other agencies, the planning documents for adjoining lands have been reviewed and, where appropriate,tbat information has been used in the development of all alternatives in this RMPIEIS. In addition, BLM land use plans for adjacent Resource Areas have also been reviewed and analyzed to avoid conflicts in land management. These other agency documents are listed in Table 1-5. 1-9
