vehicle use caused considerable adverse

impacts to soil, vegetation, the stream

channel, wildlife habitat, visual

resources, and to a portion of the Sun

Peak Area of Critical Environmental

Concern (Research Natural Area for the

protection and study of a rare plant

community). The access road to this

area has been physically closed and

signed to prevent recurrence of

inappropriate vehicle use, or additional
