Chewuch Transportation Plan
The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest proposes to develop and implement a transportation plan for the Chewuch drainage (encompassing both the Upper and Lower Chewuch watershed) within the Methow Valley Ranger District. The Plan would identify maintenance levels, roads for decomissioning, and possible re-routes to establish an appropriate road network that would meet administrative and recreational needs while reducing environmental impacts. NOTICE: Updated maps were uploaded to the website on October 14, 2011. Maps obtained from the project website before that date did not include proposed new construction. A color newsletter was released on October 14, 2011. This newsletter extended the scoping period to November 15, 2011.
