Abstract

This Environmental Impact Assessment was conducted on account of the extensive damage to site conditions at Sourdough Mountain. The proposed areas of action would focus on National Park lands, within the parameters of Sourdough, that withstood severe, extensive degradation as a result of a wildfire outbreak in Summer of 2023. Deforestation throughout the Skagit basin, with particular focus surrounding Sourdough Mountain, was investigated in relation to critical assessments and analyses of natural and built environmental factors throughout the mountain.
