Chapter 2 <br />leasing effects are considered in the indirect and <br />cumulative effects analyses of each resources <br />section in Chapter 3. The analysis of these issues <br />will be based on the Reasonably Foreseeable Post- <br />lease Surface Use discussion presented in Section <br />1.8.2. <br />Water Resources <br />Analyze direct impacts of foreseeable surface use to <br />water and subsequent indirect impacts to wildlife <br />and recreation. <br />Vegetation <br />Analyze the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />vegetation and noxious weed populations over time. <br />Wildlife, and Threatened, Endangered and <br />Sensitive Species <br />Evaluate the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />wildlife and wildlife habitats, including threatened, <br />endangered, sensitive, and management indicator <br />species. Include in the analysis compliance with the <br />Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Golden Eagle Act. <br />Land Use and Recreation <br />Analyze the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />motorized and non-motorized recreation, livestock <br />management, and recreation (hunting /fishing). <br />Roads, Trails and Roadless Character <br />Analyze the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />existing traffc and its impacts to local residents, <br />conduct a traffic analysis for publicly maintained <br />access roads, and evaluate existing Forest roads for <br />foreseeable future use. <br />Discuss impacts to other resources from road <br />management and use and discuss effectiveness of <br />road closures. <br />Analyze potential effects of foreseeable future use <br />on roadless character. <br />Visual Resources <br />Evaluate the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />visual quality. <br />Alternatives <br />Air Quality <br />Evaluate the effects of foreseeable surface use on <br />air quality. <br />Social and Economic Issues <br />Analyze social and economic effects of foreseeable <br />surface use on social (local economy) resources. <br />C. Other Non-Resource Related Concerns <br />The following are recommendations made for the <br />types of information and data to be included in [he <br />EIS. <br />Maps <br />Include maps for the following: existing system and <br />non-system roads and trails (and current <br />management); IRA boundary (both inventoried and <br />current); wilderness; vegetation; project areas for <br />each alternative; reclaimed, current, and proposed <br />MDWs, roads, etc.; important wildlife habitat and <br />wildlife habitat structural stage; riparian and <br />wetland areas; and landslide risk. <br />General <br />In the effects analysis, provide an assessment of the <br />feasibility and effectiveness of proposed mitigation <br />measures and reclamation techniques. <br />The analysis must include area of impact and <br />foreseeable road construction. <br />1.3.1.3 Issues or Concerns Not Analyzed in <br />Detail <br />Effects of light pollution and noise on local <br />residents. <br />There are no residents in the area of the Dry Fork <br />LBA tract that would be affected by light and noise. <br />Address impacts to trout fzsheries. <br />Deep Creek is [he only perennial stream in the Dry <br />Fork LBA tract. Surveys by the US Forest Service <br />indicated that it does not support a fishery; <br />therefore, this issue will not be analyzed in detail. <br />Dry Fork Lease-By-Application FEIS 23 <br />
