Emergency Road Closure and Restrictions; Wood River Ranch
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Lakeview District, Klamath Falls
Resource Area.
ACTION: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The north half of the Wood River Ranch, 1,680 acres, acquired
by BLM in Klamath County is closed to motorized vehicular travel from
the time of acquisition until completion of the Management Plan. The
area will be open for day use only. Day use is defined as two hours
before sunrise and once half hour after sunset. Overnight camping is
prohibited. No fires of any kind are permitted. No personal property
such as hunting decoys, tents, etc., can remain on the Wood River Ranch
during the overnight hours. Pit hunting blinds may not be dug on the
property.
These restrictions are necessary to prevent resource damage to
soil, roads, vegetation, including spread of noxious weeds and possible
damage to cultural resources. Limitations are also necessary to reduce
the development of trails/roads due to unregulated cross country
travel. Vehicles used for administrative, emergency, and law
enforcement will be exempt from the motor vehicle restrictions.
Adjacent landowners, their agents and employees, with a right-of-way
for access, may use vehicles on the dike roads only to gain access to
adjacent private property, may not take vehicles off of the dike roads,
and while on the Wood River Ranch, may not off-load personnel, personal
property or equipment. Motorized boats are not considered motorized
vehicles but their use is restricted to the permanently flooded marsh.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any person who fails to comply with this
closure/restriction order is subject to the penalties provided in
8360.0-7. Violations are punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/
or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months.
