<br />III. CRITERION 3 - If this WSA is not Designated, It Would be Managed as <br />Follows: <br /> <br />A. Range <br /> <br />No future projects are proposed. An existing one-quarter-mile pasture <br />boundary fence would be maintained with the use of vehicles. <br /> <br />B. Forestry <br /> <br />A large woodlands area in this unit would be conducive to the <br />development of a firewood area. The project would be coordinated with wildlife <br />plans for the area. <br /> <br />C. Wildlife <br /> <br />In an effort to increase desirable big game browse, forb, and grass <br />species, it is possible that small clearings in the coniferous tree <br />canopy below 8,400 feet in elevation (primarily pinon/juniper) would be made. <br /> <br />D. Soils/Watershed <br /> <br />The firewood sales and small clearing proposed by wildlife would <br />disturb these resources, but not significantly. <br /> <br />E. Recreation/Visual <br /> <br />Recreation potential of this unit is minimal. Class II VRM values may <br />be jeopardized by the off-road travel, cutting, and other associated activities <br />from potential firewood gathering and pinon/juniper manipulation. <br /> <br />Summary: The pinon-juniper manipulation projects proposed for this unit would <br />obviously intrude upon the naturalness of the unit. Visual integrity may suffer <br />as a result of these projects. <br /> <br />- \ ...., ':'~ 17 i-~ 'l' <br />t ',.''-' 0; U <br /> <br />A-36 <br />
