integrity, while providing for a
spectrum of recreational opportunities,
including sport fishing and wilderness
visitor experience. Key steps for
successfully implementing the selected
alternative (Management Alternative B
as detailed in the FEIS) include but are
not limited to:
• Lakes which are currently fishless
will remain so in the future;
• High densities of reproducing fish
will be removed from up to 27 lakes;
• Stocking will continue in up to 42
lakes, with a long-term goal of utilizing
only fish incapable of reproducing and
establishing self-sustaining populations;
and
• Long term monitoring of the status
of native species, including amphibians
and benthic macro vertebrates, will be
maintained.
Implementation of Management
Alternative B requires authorization
from Congress that fish stocking is
appropriate within North Cascades

and FEIS also assessed the foreseeable
environmental consequences a No
Action alternative and two additional
