REA provides the BLM current authority to establish, modify, charge, and collect recreation fees at Federal recreational lands and waters. Section 804 of REA addresses the minimum public outreach requirements that an agency must consider when developing or changing recreation fees. This outreach process includes the involvement of a Resource Advisory Council (RAC). RACs provide recommendations to agency officials on matters including, but not limited to: Implementing or eliminating fees; Expanding or limiting the recreation fee program; and Implementing fee level changes. The fee analysis portion of this business plan was based on a comparative review of fees charged elsewhere and by other public agencies within the geographic area of the Alsea Falls Recreation Site that provide similar services. Based on the comparative fee analysis, this business plan proposes to revise the day-use and camping fee for the Alsea Falls Recreation Site.

  • Discover National Forests in Central Oregon Summer 2006
    Volcanic Vistas Discover National Forests in Central Oregon Summer 2006 WWWelcome to Central Oregon! This year’s Volcanic Vistas celebrates Scenic Byways and Community Connections. Scenic Byways provide connections between natural resources, communities, people and places. Scenic Byways create a bridge to the natural environment for recreational oppor- tunities and provide interpretation of the geological and historical events that have drawn people to central Oregon for years. Central Oregon and the Forest Service have a great deal of pride in the Scenic Byways found here. Journeys on the Cascade Lakes, Outback, and McKenzie-Santiam National Scenic Byways all begin on the Deschutes National Forest. Central Oregon communities benefit from the tourism and recreation opportuni- ties promoted by the National Scenic Byways Program. Other less traveled tour routes are to be found on BLM’s Back Country Byways. These are hidden gems full of surprises as well. We hope your discoveries and adventures this summer will be filled with beautiful scenery and fun activities. We also hope you will enjoy these Volcanic Vistas stories about community connections and partnerships that work together to protect valuable resources and to provide both visitors and residents with the unique recreational experiences that are a vital part of all central Oregon communities. Be sure to have fun and be safe!
