Rogue National Wild and Scenic River United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Medford District Office Grants Pass Resource Area March 2003 Rogue National Wild and Scenic River: Hellgate Recreation Area Proposed Recreation Area Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U. S. administration. BLM/OR/WA/PL-03/008-1792 March 2003 Rogue National Wild and Scenic River: Hellgate Recreation Area Proposed Recreation Area Management Plan/ Final Environmental Impact Statement 1. Responsible Agency: United States Department of the Interior , Bureau of Land Management 2. Draft () Final (X) 3. Administrative Action (X) Legislative Action ( ) 4. Abstract: The Hellgate Recreation Area Proposed Recreation Area Management Plan/Final Environmental Impact Statement (RAMP/FEIS) considers five alternatives for managing various resources and programs along the 27- mile stretch of the Rogue River System. In 1968, the United States Congress designated the U.S. Forest Service and the BLM as the lead agencies for managing the land and water within the identified National W ild and Scenic Rogue River corridor (84 miles from its confluence with the Applegate River downstream to the Lobster Creek Bridge). The portion of the river from the mouth of the Applegate River downstream to Marial, a distance of approximately 47 miles, is administered by the BLM, Medford District Of fice. The lower 37 miles are located within the boundaries of the Siskiyou National Forest and are administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The Rogue River was one of eight rivers identified as part of the National W ild and Scenic Rivers System when the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was passed in 1968. Designated rivers are classified as wild, scenic, or recreational. The original eight rivers were “instant designation” rivers; they were not study rivers. The 27-mile stretch of the Rogue National W ild and Scenic River Hellgate Recreation Area from the confluence of the Applegate River to Grave Creek was classified as a recreational river . All of the recommended planning issues share one topic: the growth of dif ferent types of recreation use on the river . How much recreation use and how many visitors can and should the river support? Major planning issues revolve around motorized and nonmotorized boating, nonmotorized boat angling, user fees, camping, trails, day-use areas, public access, and visitor services. The five alternatives, which includes the Proposed Action (Alternative E) for management of the Rogue River Hellgate Recreation Area have been developed and analyzed in accordance with state and federal requirements. The alternatives were designed to protect and enhance the outstandingly remarkable values, which Congress identified for the designated recreational river . A draft of this document was released for a 90-day public review and comment period on November 24, 2000. Differences from the Hellgate RAMP/Draft EIS or points of clarification or management direction have been incorporated into the RAMP/FEIS in response to both public comments and staf f review of the RAMP/DEIS. Release of this Final EIS, begins a 30-day availability period. 5. Date Hellgate Recreation Area Management Plan/Final Environmental Impact Statement made available to Environmental Protection Agency and public March 21, 2003.

The major sections of the RAMP/FEIS are explained below. Chapter 1 This chapter contains introductory material to the RAMP/FEIS. It includes a description of the planning area and the purpose and need for preparing the RAMP/FEIS. It identifies the issues or concerns addressed in the RAMP/EIS process. Included is a discussion of the RAMP’s relationship to BLM policies, programs, and other plans. Chapter 2 This chapter describes the range of alternatives including the No Action Alternative (Alternative B) and the BLM’s Proposed Action (Alternative E). The range of alternatives lists different ways the issues could be resolved. The alternatives present different approaches to meeting the underlying needs identified in Chapter 1. Chapter 3 This chapter describes the social, physical, biological, and socioeconomic characteristics of BLM-administered land as they exist in the planning area. Resources that could be affected by BLM management alternatives are emphasized. Chapter 4 In this chapter, the environmental consequences (effects) of implementing the alternatives (described in Chapter 2) are defined and compared to the existing conditions (described in Chapter 3). This chapter is organized by resource elements and issues. Effects are described by alternative within each individual resource, as appropriate. Direct, indirect, and cumulative effects are all considered to the extent identifiable in each analysis. Chapter 5 This chapter describes agencies and organizations BLM has worked with during the preparation of the RAMP/FEIS. It summarizes public involvement and includes the List of Preparers. Responses to the comments received during the review period for the RAMP/Draft EIS are included in this chapter. Tables, Maps, and Figures Tables, maps, and figures are located after each chapter.

  • State Highway Department
    Description of WOrk of the State Highway Department in the Counties of the State 1923 -1924 BAKER COUNTY There was less activity in highway constructjon in Baker County dur- ing the biennium just past than in previousyears. However, the main trunk line highway known as the Old Oregon Trailwas completed during this period, and some work was doneon the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity Highways. The work on the Baker-Cornucopia Highway involved theconstruction of the grade down the Powder River Canyon, which eliminated the high Sparta summit and materially improved existing communicationbetween the Eagle and Pine Valleys and Baker.However, there still remains a very bad section between Middle Bridge and Love Bridge, and the section between Black Bridge and Richland, through the Dry Gulch country, is impassable to automobile traffic during the spring of theyear. On the Baker-Unity Highway the gradeon both sides of Dooley Moun- tain was completed. Those who were forced to travel the old mountain grade, which was narrow, crooked, and in places reacheda gradient of 22 per cent, will appreciate traveling over thenew highway now open to traffic. The total length of grading completed in Baker County during the past biennium was 18.11 miles, of which 8.95 mileswere surfaced. in addition to this work there were 25.90 miles surveyed. The Baker County bond issue of 1918, amounting to $500,000,was in- sufficient to meet the State in cooperating to complete the state highways through the county, and on November 4, 1924,an additional $500,00G was voted to complete the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity High- ways.
