Wilderness Watch has been concerned about a U.S. Navy plan to blast the Olympic Peninsula with sonic weapons, including within five Wildernesses: Olympic (Olympic National Park), Colonel Bob, Washington Islands, Lake Chelan-Sawtooth, and the Pasayten. The Navy’s Environmental Assessment fails to discuss the impacts to these Wildernesses. Additionally, we believe flight paths outside the project area will potentially affect the Stephen Mather, Glacier Peak, Mount Baker, Noisy Diobsud, Boulder River, Henry M. Jackson, Wild Sky, Alpine Lakes, and San Juan Islands Wildernesses as well. We have urged the Forest Service to complete an Environmental Impact Statement analyzing the impacts to Wilderness.
