Land Management Plan Part 2 San Bernardino National Forest Strategy SD 1 - Wilderness September 2005 Protect and manage wilderness to improve the capability to sustain a desired range of benefits and values and so that changes in ecosystems are primarily a consequence of natural forces. Protect and manage areas recommended for wilderness designation to maintain their wilderness values. • Within the life of the plan, manage all wilderness areas to standard, including areas designated as new wildernesses when they are established. Focus on the ecological, social, and managerial conditions within each wilderness. • Ensure that current and future issues and management needs, including adequate biophysical and social monitoring are addressed in all wilderness planning. Identify all use that results in adverse impacts and develop measures to alleviate those impacts to an appropriate level using state-of-the art processes, such as limits of acceptable change. • Prescribed fire may be used in wilderness to retain wilderness values and promote natural processes, or where community protection needs exist due to development on private lands near the wilderness. • Emphasize Minimum Impact Suppression Tactics in all wilderness wildand fire responses (see Appendix B in Part 3 of the forest plan). Suppression operations in the six wilderness areas and any subsequent wilderness additions may be conducted under control, contain, or confine suppression strategies. • Wilderness resource advisors will be assigned as necessary to all wilderness fires. • When new wilderness is recommended, include proposed legislative wording that identifies "where a wilderness area is adjacent to or is in close proximity to inhabited areas, the Secretary may take appropriate measures to control or prevent wildland fire through federal, state, and/or local agencies and jurisdictions." SD 2 - Wild and Scenic Rivers Manage recommended wild and scenic river segments to perpetuate their free-flowing condition and proposed classifications, and to protect and enhance their outstandingly remarkable values and water quality through the suitability study period, and until designated or released from consideration: • If a wild and scenic river is designated prepare a Comprehensive River Management Plan and boundary declaration. • For those recommended wild and scenic river segments, interim protection measures will be applied to the bed, bank, and one-quarter mile on either side of the ordinary highwater mark.
