(5) Stop unnecessary subdivision of 47,000 acres some of which is the 

 study area's better commercial forest land and wildlife habitat and which 

 has been projected for subdivision by 1990. 



(6) Provide erosion and sedimentation control on 62,000 acres of forest 

 land and on 52 miles of streambank along the upper Blackfoot and Little 

 Bitterroot Rivers and stop erosion on 2,500 miles of eroding forest trails, 

 roads, and gullies. 



(7) Maintain 104,000 acres of riparian vegetation along lakeshores and 

 streams, the loss of which will be due mainly to residential and agricul- 

 tural encroachment. 



(8) Effectively minimize damage to open and green space and to natural 

 beauty in general. 



(9) Have maximum numbers of wildlife within the carrying capacity of the 

 presently nondeveloped land. Protect about 1,350,000 acres of big game 

 winter range near the forest fringe and 16,400 acres of upland habitat 

 and about 138,000 acres of wetland habitat.
