Minimum Requirements Analysis • Note to presenters - • This file is part of the FS Resources section at: http://www.wilderness.net/fs/ • This presentation should be reviewed and revised as needed to match the training objectives and target audience and local images should be inserted where needed. • The Minimum Requirements Analysis training presentations are posted in 6 parts which may be combined and used as needed: • Introduction • Basis in Law and Policy • Definitions • Minimum Requirements process • Step 1 • Step 2 • Use of the MRA process • Use of Traditional Skills and Tools

2. Minimum Requirements Analysis Definitions

3. Definitions: Minimum Tool Minimum Requirements Analysis The least intrusive tool,equipment, device, force, regulation, or practicedetermined to be necessary to accomplish an essential task, that will also achieve the wilderness management objective.

4. Definitions: Traditional/Primitive Tool Minimum Requirements Analysis Equipment or methods that generally originated in the pre-motorized or pioneering era andmake use of simple, non-motorized technology(i.e. traditional hand tools). • Modern versions of non-motorized traditional tools are OK to use

5. Minimum Requirements Analysis The Wilderness Act Section 4 (c): Prohibited Uses “… there shall be no …” • form of mechanical transport • use of motorized equipment • use of motor vehicles or motor boats • landing of aircraft • structure or installation • temporary road

6. Minimum Requirements Analysis Definitions*: Mechanical Transport Any contrivance which travels over land, water, or snow on wheels, tracks, skids, or by flotation, and is propelled by a living or non-living power source. This includes (but is not limited to) wheeled vehicles such as bicycles, game carriers, carts, and wagons. • It does not include: • Skis, snowshoes. snow boards, sleds • Rafts, canoes, kayaks, row boats, etc. • Similar primitive devices without moving parts * FS Regulations and Policy

22. Structures – non-eligible, non-historic, administrative Prohibited* Check for special provisions in laws.

23. Structures – historic, eligible or other archaeological resources • Structures may be allowed • Part of the historic value and public purpose of wilderness • no need to automatically remove • meet the intent of all applicable laws • site-specific analysis and decision

24. Installations Prohibited

25. Can existing structures or installations remain in wilderness? “… there shall be no new…structures, installations…” Pre-existing structures may remain if they are the minimum necessary or allowed by law. Water Developments Administrative Cabins Fences
