Trail System and Off Highway Vehicle Management and Development, Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland, Crook, Grant, Jefferson, Harney, and Wheeler Counties, OR
The Forest Service, USDA, will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for analysis of [[Page 20074]] development and management of the Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland trail system and off highway vehicle (OHV) use. Forest Service proposes to develop a framework for designating OHV routes and areas to provide a variety of motorized recreation opportunities. Regulations prescribing operating conditions for OHV use will be developed for specific areas. Regulations considered may include designated areas and/or routes, seasonal closures, and/or complete area closures. The revised proposed action will also include: (1) Clarifying conflicting trail standards and guidelines and/or developing additional trail standards and guidelines for all Forest and Grassland lands; and (2) developing recreation trail objectives that address all user groups and acceptable intensity of use for all Forest and Grassland lands. The purpose of the EIS is to develop a framework for providing well-designed OHV trails while protecting fish, wildlife, soils, air quality, and adjacent land owner rights; as well as mitigating conflicts between various recreation trail groups.
