  • The AOCC's Efforts to Log Protected Public Land
    The AOCC’s Efforts to Log Protected Public Land The Association of O&C Counties (AOCC) has supported and lobbied in favor of a controversial logging bill known as the Resilient Federal Forests Act (HR 2936), which would remove protections for public lands and waterways in Clackamas County and throughout Oregon. The AOCC has done media work to promote the legislation and in June of 2017, the President of the Association actually traveled to DC to testify before a Congressional Committee in support of this legislation. I. Threats to protected public lands in Clackamas County posed by HR 2936* Sec. 913 of the AOCC-supported bill would require all BLM forestlands, including 2.1 million acres of O&C lands, to be managed for the primary purpose of timber production. This provision would rescind conservation protections for the following public lands in Clackamas County and open these lands to logging: • Table Rock Wilderness • Salmon Wild & Scenic River • Clackamas Wild and Scenic River • South Fork Clackamas Wild & Scenic River • Sandy River State Scenic Waterway • Molalla State Scenic Waterway and recreation corridor • Wildwood Recreation Site • The Congressionally-protected Mount Hood Corridor (Clackamas County supported this legislation) • Sandy River Gorge Area of Critical Environmental Concern • Williams Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern • Soosap Meadows Area of Critical Environmental Concern • Wilhoit Springs Area of Critical Environmental Concern • Areas designated as reserves for threatened species and to protect streams in the 2016 BLM Resource Management Plan Table Rock Wilderness *Note: Days before the bill passed the House, HR 2936 was amended to exclude Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers from this logging mandate; however, the AOCC supported the original bill that would have removed protections for these areas.

Photo courtesy of the BLM. Prepared for: Bureau of Land Management Department of the Interior Prepared by: Volpe National Transportation Systems Center Research and Innovative Technology Administration U.S. Department of Transportation 1 Bureau of Land Management ATS Inventory 2 Bureau of Land Management ATS Inventory Executive Summary The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) engaged the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) to complete an inventory of Alternative Transportation Systems (ATS) for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The purpose of the ATS inventory is to identify ATS operating within or serving BLM lands, financial and operational attributes of these ATS, elements of success of existing ATS, and sites with strong potential for future ATS on BLM lands. ATS include not only vans and shuttle services but also connections to regional transit systems, regular sightseeing tours, and nonmotorized connections for transportation purposes. ATS bring benefits to public lands, including conservation of natural and cultural resources, reduction of congestion and pollution, improvement of visitor mobility and accessibility, and enhanced visitor experience. These benefits align with the BLM’s goals for visitor experience and resource preservation. The inventory research uncovered 48 formal and informal ATS currently in operation or planned for future operation that access BLM lands. These include at least 11 connections to regional transit systems, 22 sites with shuttle and bus services provided by outside operators, and 15 nonmotorized infrastructure connections.
