Description: "Documents the expected effects of managing nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) as wilderness or nonwilderness. These WSAs range in size from 40 acres to 4,265 acres. They were deleted from the wilderness study process in 1982 by Secretary of the Interior, along with all other WSAs under 5,000 acres...in 1985, a U.S. District Court decision reinstated these small units as WSAs. The proposed recommendations are that a total of 8,525 acres are suitable for designation as wilderness, and 13,238 acres are nonsuitable for designation"--Page i.
