<br />I <br /> <br />I', <br /> <br />III. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT <br /> <br />A. Resources <br /> <br />1. Wilderness Resource <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />a. Wilderness Attribute Rating System (WARS) <br /> <br />A Wilderness Attribute Rating System (WARS) was <br />developed for RARE II to provide an indication <br />of an area's potential for wilderness. The <br />ratings considered characteristics from the <br />1964 Wilderness Act and included natural <br />integrity, apparent naturalness, outstanding <br />opportunities for solitude and or a primitive <br />and unconfined recreation experience. In <br />addition, supplemental attributes including <br />ecological, geological, or other features of <br />scientific, education, scenic, or historical <br />value were considered. 'The possible rating <br />could be from 4 to 28. <br /> <br />The WSA has a moderate degree of natural <br />integrity based on physical developments and <br />evidences of man which include undeveloped <br />roads, trails, old logging, and mineral <br />developments, only part of which are separable <br />from the area or restorable to a natural <br />condition. The WSA offers moderate screening <br />from outside influences and between users <br />within the area. Opportunities for recreation <br />use include traditional hiking, horseback <br />riding, fishing, and hunting with only moderate <br />challenge. <br /> <br />This rating is summarized as follows: <br />(Scale 1 to 7) <br /> <br />Influence of impacts on natural <br />integrity <br />Influence of impacts on apparent <br />naturalness <br />Opportunities for solitude <br />Opportunities for unconfined <br />recreation <br /> <br />Rating <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />5 <br />4 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />TOTAL WARS RATING 18 <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />!12816 <br />
