Effect to Wilderness Quality or Attributes Wilderness Quality or Attribute (Note: delete attribute descriptions after data is entered to save space if desired.) 

Is there an effect? Yes or No 

Which direction is the effect? Improving, Stable or Degrading? 

Describe the actual effect. Use descriptive terms that discuss the effect, not the activityRoads, etc...) to quantify effects.

Untrammeled This quality monitors modern human activities that directly control or manipulate the components or processes of ecological systems inside wilderness. In summary, wilderness is essentially unhindered and free from modern human control or manipulation. A measure of whether the long-term ecological processes of the area are intact and operating. It describes the extent to which human influences have altered natural processes away from what one would expect without those impacts. Address this attribute by describing the impact your project activities may have on natural processes in the area and by describing any effects these changes may cause within the area. Consider linking to PFC.

This quality monitors both intended and unintended effects of modern people on ecological systems inside wilderness since the time the area was designated. In summary, wilderness ecological systems are substantially free from the effects of 

modern civilization.

A measure of past and proposed activities on the appearance of naturalness of the area to the casual observer. This is a measure of the degree of environmental modification that will occur because of your project. Address this attribute by describing the extent of modification that will occur in the Roadless area,(ie. length of roads built, facilities constructed) and how apparent the impact will be to the visitors of the area in both the short-term and the long-term. Effects should be judged from a layman’s point of view. Consider existing scenic integrity and ROS layers.

This quality monitors the presence of structures, 

construction, habitations, and other evidence of modern human presence or occupation. In summary, wilderness is essentially without permanent improvements or modern human occupation.

A measure of the presence of the sights and sounds of civilization. It tries to indicate whether the visitor will experience a setting that is removed from civilization. Address this attribute by describing any sights or sounds of civilization that will occur during the projects duration or resulting after the project is finished. Also address any change in how a visitor might access the area. Consider using ROS maps layers.

opportunities to experience solitude, or the isolation from the sights, sounds, and presence of others and from the developments and evidence of man.

After construction acompleted, annual monitoring will occur, which disturb the solitude of the area. There will be littopportunities to experience solitude. 

Opportunities for Primitive Recreation -A measure 

of the experiences available to be isolated from the evidence of man, to feel a part of nature, to have a vastness of scale, and a high degree of challenge and risk while using outdoor skills. Address this attribute by describing how the project activities might affect the size of the area, the number and type of opportunities available, the challenge of the opportunities, and the addition or absence of facilities.

Special Features (Ecological, Geologic, Scenic or Historical) An attribute that recognizes that wilderness may contain other values of ecological, geologic, scenic or historical or cultural significance. Unique fish and wildlife species, unique plants or plant communities, potential or existing research natural areas, outstanding landscape features, and significant cultural resource sites should all be considered as types of values that might exist. Identify any of these values that exist within the project area. Address this attribute by describing the effect proposed activities would have on these values. Consider Scenic Attractiveness link.

Changes in the shape of the Inventoried Roadless Area may have significant consequences to its wilderness potential. Consider also boundary management impacts such as changing wilderness boundaries to different terrain features or for how access would be provided if project activities cause adjustments in the Inventoried Roadless Area.
