Summary of Wilderness Suitability Evaluation <br /> <br />Section IV B describes in detail the wilderness <br />suitability evaluation conducted for the Sangre de Cristo <br />WSA and contiguous Bureau of Land Management WSAs. A <br />finding of SUitability .or unsuitability considers the <br />area's capability, availability, and need for wilderness. <br />The fOllOWing summary includes both National Forest lands <br />and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. <br />The discussion of environmental consequences, Section IV, <br />identifies the effects on National Forest and Bureau of <br />Land Management lands. <br /> <br />Is the area capable of wilderness designation? <br /> <br />Both physical characteristics and manageability of the <br />area were evaluated. The Wilderness Attribute Rating for <br />the Sangre de Cristo WSA indicates a high degree of <br />wilderness character with a rating of 24, which is well <br />above the average rating of 22 under the proposed action <br />in RARE II. The rating from RARE II was reviewed for <br />this report and was not changed. <br /> <br />Management for wilderness with the present WSA boundaries <br />will create conflicts with use of patented mining claim <br />inholdings. These conflicts can be reduced with the <br />modified boundary alternative. No new conflicts would be <br />created under the unsuitable alternative.
