Recreation Management; Emergency Closure and Restriction Order, 
California

    Location: The following Emergency Closure and Restriction shall 
apply to Public Lands located adjacent to McCabe Flat Campground, 
specifically the beach swimming area. These Public Lands are located 
within the Folsom Resource Area, Township 4 South, Range 18 East, 
southeast quarter of section 8, Mt. Diablo meridian. This Emergency 
Closure and Restriction Order applies only to the area encompassed by 
sand and normally used for swimming activities in the river. This 
Emergency Closure and Restriction is promulgated pursuant to Title 43 
Code of Federal Regulations, section 8364.1.
    Prohibitions: No person shall:
    1. Possess any bottle or container made of glass.
    2. Enter or be on the beach between sunset and sunrise.
    Period of Time: These closures and restrictions shall be in effect 
from August 22, 1997 to December 31, 1997.
    Exemptions: Federal, state, and local law enforcement officers and 
emergency services personnel, while performing official duties, are 
exempt from these closures and restrictions.
    Reasons for Closure and Restrictions: This area, which is 
immediately adjacent to a public campground, is often used at night by 
persons not registered at the campground. This use is often disruptive 
and annoying to persons using the campground. Campers are intimidated 
and threatened by the night time use on the beach. This closure and 
restriction will protect the public and the resources.
    Violations of this Closure and Restriction Order are punishable by 
a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 
months, as specified in Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations, section 
8364.1(d).
