Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Committee Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Committee Site: Illinois River Scenic Area Site Type: HIRA Proposed Action: New Fees Recommended Fees: Area Fee: Begin charging $5.00 per vehicle per day Site Description - The Illinois River Scenic Area is a highly used area within the nationally designated Illinois Wild and Scenic River corridor located on the Rogue River- Siskiyou National Forest, Wild Rivers Ranger District. The area is about 15 miles south of Grants Pass and within a 1 to 2 hour drive from the Rogue River Valley and Medford- Metropolitan area. The approximate 2,970 acre area is nestled in an old growth forest setting. The area has four campgrounds, five picnic areas, two scenic overlooks and interpretive sites, one historic site, five trailheads, four developed parking areas with swimming and rafting opportunities, and one private commercial lodge. The area is the gateway to the east side of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Wild Section of the Illinois W&S River. The unique mix of recreation opportunities is significant to southern Oregon. Visits to the scenic area currently exceed 180,000 people per season. Fee Assessment - Recent capital investments of 1.2 million dollars in road and parking improvements, new picnic tables, shelters, trails, and campgrounds have been built to help serve the public, improve visitor safety and prevent resource damage. Subsequently, fees are needed to provide law enforcement presence, operation and maintenance. The recommended fees are based on 1) a Market Value analysis, 2) the Regional Campground Pricing rating, and 3) the Recreation Facility Analysis process. Fee collection will be efficiently accomplished with self-service pay stations and compliance checks. If fees are not charged, the recent capital improvements and recreation sites will be operated and maintained below actual cost. This will increase deferred maintenance over time in the area. Public Involvement - Public involvement regarding increasing fees has been conducted over the last two years and included: on-site postings in the campground and day use areas, notices at the Wild Rivers Ranger District Office, on the Rogue River Siskiyou NF Website, two public meetings, two press releases, and a television interview. Several letters of support were received along with an editorial in the local newspaper expressing support for the proposal. The notice of the proposal was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2008. To date, no letters opposed to the proposed fees have been received. Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Committee Site: Beaver Dam Campground Site Type: Expanded Amenity Proposed Action: Increase Fees Recommended Fees: Campsite Fees: Change from $5.00 per site to $8.00 per site in the campground. Extra vehicle fee will increase from $2.00 to $3.00. Site Description Beaver Dam Campground is located 35 miles east of Medford, Oregon on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, High Cascades Ranger District. There are 4 sites in the campground which is located adjacent to paved forest road, Route 37, the main access route through the east side of the forest. The campground is situated approximately 10 miles from Howard Prairie Lake to the South and 10 miles from Fish Lake to the North. There is one short nature trail, Beaver Dam, which connects from the campground to an adjacent campground about ¼ mile away, Daley Creek Campground which is also on Route 37. Amenities at the site include: Picnic tables, fire-rings, garbage cans, vault toilet facilities, fee collection, tent sites and access roads. Annual occupancy of this site is 24%. Fee Assessment The campground fee has not changed since the mid 1990’s. Subsequently fees have not kept up with the market value, inflation costs, operations and maintenance. The fee is consistent with other campgrounds within the local region that offer similar services and amenities. The recommended fees were base on 1) the Regional Campground Pricing rating, 2) cost of operation and maintenance, 3) the Recreation Facility Analysis (RFA) process. Increasing the fees will help cover the operating and maintenance costs at this site and is the outcome of the RFA process. Public Involvement Two public meetings were held at sites in Prospect and Medford Oregon with a majority in attendance supporting the fee increases. Local news media (Channel 12) coverage of the public meeting held in Medford highlighted the fee increases in their coverage of the information provided. On site posting at the campgrounds and local district offices has been in place since October, 2007.

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 123 FERC ¶ 62,021 FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION PacifiCorp Project No. 2630-004 ORDER ISSUING NEW LICENSE (April 8, 2008) INTRODUCTION 1. On June 27, 2003, PacifiCorp filed an application for a new license pursuant to sections 4(e) and 15 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),1 to continue operation and maintenance of the Prospect Nos. 1, 2, and 4 Hydroelectric Project No. 2630. The project’s authorized capacity being licensed is 41.56 megawatts (MW). The project is located on the Rogue River, Middle Fork Rogue River, and Red Blanket Creek in Jackson County, Oregon.2 The project does not occupy federal lands. 2. On October 26, 2006, PacifiCorp filed a Settlement Agreement (settlement) signed by it and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (Oregon DFW) that addresses certain resident trout issues related to this relicense proceeding, including ramping rate effects and large woody debris management. 3. As discussed below, I am issuing a new license for the project. The license incorporates most of the settlement’s provisions. 1 16 U.S.C. §§ 797(e) and 808 (2000). 2 The project is part of PacifiCorp’s interconnected system that transmits power across state lines for public utility purposes. The project was constructed in different segments, the first of which was completed in 1911 (Prospect No. 1) and the last in 1944 (Prospect No. 4). Because the project (1) is located on a body of water over which Congress has Commerce Clause jurisdiction, (2) affects interstate commerce through its connection to an interstate power grid, and (3) has had significant post-1935 construction, it is required to be licensed pursuant to section 23(b)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C.

  • Final Guide Historical Records Collection Rogue
    FINAL GUIDE to the HISTORICAL RECORDS COLLECTION of the ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST (Medford, Oregon) (compiled and annotated by Jeff LaLande) November 2006 INTRODUCTION Scope and Purpose This Guide to the Historical Records Collection of the Rogue River National Forest, first compiled in 1978, has been updated semi-annually in order to facilitate the use of the Historical Records Collection as additional items have been accessioned into the Collection. This Final version of the Guide represents the Collection at the time (late 2006) that all of its original documents, maps, and photographs are being transferred to the care of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), at its facility in Seattle, Washington. The Collection has been formed under the directives of Forest Service Manual (FSM) 1681; it consists of approximately 15 linear feet of Forest Service and Forest Service-related documents, maps, and photographs produced by, or otherwise concerning, the Crater (later Rogue River) National Forest. There are over 650 individually catalogued text- or map-based items, in addition to approximately 3,300 photographs. Many of the individually catalogued text-based items actually consist of numerous separate components (e.g., dated correspondence of different dates, multiple reports). These records represent a wide variety of the many aspects of past national forest management. The documents range from early timber resource inventories and homestead examinations to relatively recent land exchange files and recreation reports. The maps include Forest visitor maps as well as resource-inventory maps that were generated for agency use. The 1 photographs cover a wide range of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Forest.

SMITH 1899 - 1965 This volume of history is dedicated to Miss Janie V. Smith, who began her Forest Service career in 1920 on the Crater National Forest, and ended it thirty-nine years later on the same Forest after its name was changed to Rogue River. Miss Smith was born November 2, 1899, in Sandusky, Ohio. She was appointed to the Crater National Forest as a stenographer on February 4, 1920. Prior to this, she attended Oregon Agricultural College, now known as Oregon State University. From the first, it was apparent that Janie (as she was affectionately called by everyone who knew her) possessed the attributes for outstanding achievement. Within ten years she was appointed Chief Clerk. In 1939 she received a promotion to Administrative Assistant, and in 1957 became the only woman in the U. S. Forest Service to hold the title of Administrative Officer. Without exception, the five Forest Supervisors under whom Janie served had high praise for her ability and sincere devotion to duty.
