Table 3.8. Summary comments on the designated conservation area (DCA) networkin the western Washington Cascades province. (Section III.C.2.a. and AppendixI provide further information on the criteria and process used to delineatethese areas.)DesignatedConservationAreaAreaWD-1, WD-2, WD-3WD-4, WD-8, WD-9, and WD-28WD-2N, WD-2W, WD-10, WD-11,WD-17, WD-17 throughWD-19, WD-19W, WD-25,WD-26, WD-26W, WD-27,WD-27S, WD-29 throughWD-32, WD-34, andWD-35CommentsCommentsThese are category 1 DCAs. They currently contain sufficient habitatand owl numbers to function as large clusters of interactive owl pairs.These also are cateogry 1 DCAs. However, they are currently estmatedto contain fewer than 20 pairs of owls, each with potential to increase to20 pairs.These smaller, multipair areas were delineated in this area to addresslocal demographic, distribution, and linkage concerns. Because ofnatural habitat limitations and low population densities, they can onlypotentially support 2 to 19 pairs of owls.11 "..' .........I ..... -... ,...-Federal matrix forests will be managed under prescription A (section III.C.2). naddition, four areas have been identified where the establishment of reservedpair areas is needed to compensate for deficiencies in the DCA network. Tenreserved pair areas are needed in the Interstate 90 corridor area north of Mt.Rainier (between DCAs WD-4 and WD-17); eight are needed between DCAsWD-25 and WD-19; and four are recommended north of Darrington (amongDCAs WD-9, WD-28 and WD-30).Biological goals and implementation on nonfederal landsSpecific recommendations for nonfederal contributions are described in thefollowing sections for each of the areas of special management emphasis.Northem half of the province (north of Interstate 90). The primary recommendationfor nonfederal land in this area is to provide dispersal habitatbetween WD-8 and DCAs to the north, east, and south. Such habitatshould provide dispersal for the maximum number of juvenile owlsdispersing from adjacent DCAs. Protective management could contributeto the objective, as could land exchange. If new state forest practicesregulations were developed, and dispersal habitat was well defined, suchregulations also could contribute to this objective.154Interstate 90 corridor. There are several recommendations for nonfederalcontributions to recovery in this area. The first is to provide for nesting,roosting, and foraging habitat within or directly adjacent to DCAs withcheckerboard ownership. These are WD-4 and WD-17. The secondrecommendation is to provide nesting, roosting, and foraging habitat tohelp support the reserved pair areas that will be established on federalland in the checkerboard ownership between these DCAs.
