Notice of Extension of Emergency Temporary Closure (69 FR 16597, March 30, 2004) to Motorized and Mechanized Vehicle Use and Certain Other Uses on Public Lands Administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Palm Springs-South Coast Field Office, California

Riepilogo

The BLM Palm Springs-South Coast Field Office is extending an emergency temporary closure order, which closes portions of public lands to motorized and mechanized vehicle use and prohibits or restricts certain other uses, in the South Coast Planning Area in San Diego County, California. The exception to the extended closure will be the Otay Mountain and Minnewawa Truck Trails. These roads will be opened to vehicle access. The extension of the closure is needed to protect stabilization treatments as recommended in the Department of the Interior's Burned Area Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (BAER). Extension of the closure will allow a seed treatment of native species to germinate and establish during one growing season without the threat of trampling from vehicle and other human activities.
