What the application says

“The public benefit would largely come from the recognition and management of the existing Seep Lakes Rd... The secured access to south Warden Lake and WDFW's ability to manage the site for fishing access is also important. [Application notes: 'The parcel is leased for grazing.']”

Verbatim from the application (application Part D + WDFW slide), DNR's public application repository.
