S ununa ry of Wilderness Suitability Evaluation <br /> <br />Section IV B describes in detail the wilderness <br />suitability evaluation conducted for the Buffalo Peaks <br />Wilderness Study Area. A conclusion of suitability or <br />unsuitable considers the areas capability, availability, <br />and need for wilderness. <br /> <br />Is the area capable of wilderness designation? <br /> <br />In order to address the criterion, both physical <br />characteristics and manageability were evaluated. Th" <br />Wilderness Attribute Rating System (WARS) which was <br />developed in RARE II to indicate relative wilderness <br />quality, was reviewed for this report to consider the <br />capability. Buffalo Peaks was rated at IS which is <br />slightly below average for all RARE II areas in Colorado. <br />The average for these areas recommended for wilderness in <br />RARE II was 22. <br /> <br />The area is manageable as wilderness. Conflicts with <br />outside uses can be avoided. Terrain, natural features, <br />and readily defineable landmarks, for the most part, make <br />identification of a manageable boundary possible. <br /> <br />Conclusion: Based on the WARS analysis and manageability, <br />the area is considered capable for wilderness. <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />-, ,..- f) 81 t) <br />" "- ~ <br />
