other vegetative treatments will also be considered and utilized. These treatments 

 include, but are not limited to; interseeding, logging, chemical fallov^ng, hay cutting, 

 prescribed burning, etc. Management emphasis will be placed on attracting elk during 

 the spring green-up period to help alleviate big game use on adjacent landowners. The 

 major use of the vegetation will be by elk during the winter period. Live stream and 

 reservoir areas may require livestock proof fencing and water tank development to 

 protect the riparian vegetation. 



Travel System 



Present 



Access to the property is by means of unimproved dirt roads through private land and 

 also across the JRWMA. Internal roads are unimproved two-tracks. 



Future 



Motorized use will correspond to travel plan provisions for the JRWMA. These 

 provisions allow for trail bike use on designated roads/trails from May 15 to October 15 

 (to access USPS land); no off-road/trail motorized use; motorized travel provisions for 

 authorized MFWP personnel; and designated parking areas adjacent to the main 

 county road through the JRWMA. If access arrangements can be successfully 

 negotiated with adjacent private landowners, public motorized travel to a designated 

 parking area will be established on the new property in the upper Dipping Vat Coulee 

 area. Exact location of parking areas will be dictated by the type and location of the 

 perimeter access. Negotiations for additional access will begin after the property is 

 obtained. The rule that prohibits public access on all JRWMA lands, from December 1 

 to May 15, v^ll apply to the acquisition property. 



Physical Developments 



Present 



Existing developments include external boundary fences, an abandoned homestead, 

 several developed springs/water tanks, and 2 ponds. Fence conditions are poor to fair. 

 Internal roads are unimproved two-tracks and may require erosion control structures. 



Future 



Fences will be replaced and/or repaired as needed. Additional interior fences may be 

 constructed to accommodate a livestock grazing system. Additional water 

 developments may be required to accommodate protection of the riparian and pond 

 areas. The house will not be used or maintained and it may be left in its present
