概要

The U.S. Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to amend the 1990 Siuslaw National Forest Land and Resources Management Plan (as amended by the 1994 Oregon Dunes Plan) in order to: (1) Designate Off Highway Vehicle (OHV), also called Off Road Vehicle (ORV) routes within Management Area (MA) 10 (C) of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA) beyond the three year timeframe identified in the Plan; (2) modify the boundaries of some areas currently zoned MA 10 (C) to MA 10 (B), in order to meet the management objectives of MA 10 (B); and (3) designate the Banshee Hill route as a site specific exception within the 10 (C) Management Area. Management Area 10 (C) requires that OHVs be operated only on designated routes, while Management Area 10 (B) allows OHVs to be operated anywhere within the area. This document is being prepared under the following authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 40 CFR 1508.22.
