Vaden Subsistence House Log Permit, Solo Creek, Environmental Assessment

The National Park Service (NPS) is considering a request for subsistence house logs from a qualified subsistence user and local permanent resident of the Solo Creek/White River area within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST). In July 2015 the applicant requested a special use permit to harvest and transport up to 80 logs to finish the construction of her primary permanent residence on her private property. The applicant plans to harvest and transport timber on national preserve lands in the North Fork of the White River area during the winter or spring season during periods with adequate snow cover and frozen ground. A snowmachine will be used to transport logs from the harvest location to private property. An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to evaluate potential impacts of the applicant's proposal. The EA is currently available for public review and comment.
