Structures for livestock control or veg- etative treatments would be limited to those which will protect the wilderness resources. Native forage species will be main- tain ed. Predators will not be controlled by chemical methods. Non-Wilderness Management Wildlife About 19 lakes and 25 miles of stream could become available for recreationists who use trail vehicles. Seven of these lakes might be made accessible by roads if economic routes were located. Part of the 87.755 acres of hunting hab- itat could be accessible to vehicular travel. Structural and cultural wildlife habitat improvements could be constructed. Wildlife species not native to the area could be introduced. Water Cultural treatment of 12,490 acres of timber could increase the annual water yield from approximately 149,200 acre- feet to 154,200 acre-feet. Water impoundments and diversions could be constructed. Forage Grazing practices will be based on standard range management objectives. Structures for livestock control or veg- etative treatments could be permitted. (These are not considered feasible or nec- essary in the foreseeable future.) Exotic forage species could be intro- duced. Predator control could be done by any approved method. 1346 17
