Temporary Closure of Public Land
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), DOI.
ACTION: Notice of Temporary Closure of Public Land.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following described public land is being temporarily closed to
motorized vehicular traffic pursuant to 43 CFR 8364.1:
Willamette Meridian
T.23S., R.26E.,
Sec. 28, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\;
Sec. 29, SE\1/4\.
Those portions of the above-described land west of the Chickahominy
Reservoir Access Road; south and west of the waterline of Chickahominy
Reservoir; and, north of U.S. Highway 20.
The following exceptions apply:
1. Law enforcement, emergency personnel, and Bureau of Land
Management and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife employees while
engaged in official duties without a written waiver.
2. Motorized water craft without a written waiver.
3. Other individuals in the possession of a written waiver who, as
determined by the Authorized Officer, have a demonstrated need to
travel by motorized vehicle in the area being closed.
The closure is necessary to prevent damage to roads and adjacent
resources during extremely wet springtime conditions. Unrestricted
traffic during this time of year is creating excessive impacts to soil
and vegetative resources resulting in erosion and sedimentation of the
reservoir. Additionally, funds are
[[Page 15988]]
not readily available to routinely repair and maintain roads in the
area damaged by vehicular traffic.
The closure will take effect upon posting of this notice on the
land and remain effective until, as determined by the Authorized
Officer, the land is suitable for continued motorized vehicular
traffic.
Failure to comply with this temporary closure may result in a fine
of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months, or
both, in accordance with 43 CFR 8360.0-7.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information,
including an analysis of the closure, and for waivers should be
directed to Craig M. Hansen or Skip Renchler, Bureau of Land
Management, HC 74-12533, Hwy 20 West, Hines, Oregon 97738, phone (541)
573-4400.
Dated: March 25, 1999.
