Project Background:

1. Lakeview Ranger Station: The Lakeview Ranger Station consists of approximately seven acres and was purchased by the Forest Service in the mid 1930’s. Originally consisting of buildings that were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in approximately 1936, the compound now consists of eleven administrative structures. To better utilize the existing ranger station property and reduce the amount of deferred maintenance for the site, the Fremont-Winema National Forest plans to decommission approximately five of the structures.

2. Thomas Creek Work Center: The Thomas Creek Work Center was built around 1957 and originally used as a fire station that housed its crew onsite. They used propane to run their water heater, refrigerators, and cook stoves. The power supply was an old WWII diesel motor with a converter. After 1992, the work center was used intermittently for field crews. Around 1988, the spring levels lowered resulting in the water source becoming non-potable, eventually making it necessary to shut down the Work Center in the early 1990’s. Since then, the facilities on the site have deteriorated to such a point that the facilities are no longer serviceable. The Fremont-Winema National Forest has identified this site for demolition to reduce the Forest’s overall administrative facility footprint as well as reduce the backlogged deferred maintenance.
