Alternative B would provide the greatest protection for the cultural sites, fisheries habitat, recreational opportunities, scenic qualities, shallow soils, special status species and wildlife habitat, and important vegetation communities that are the values of concern for the Upper Owl Creek area. Adverse impacts to the values of concern from travel management and surface disturbance would be greatest under Alternative C, but adverse impacts from ROW authorizations would be greater under alternatives A and D. Alternative C generally would be the least restrictive to resource uses in the area, while Alternative B would include the most restrictions.
