Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Council Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Council Site: Alsea Falls Recreation Site Site Type: Expanded/Standard Amenity Proposed Action: Fee Increase/New Fee Recommended Fees: See attached fee schedule comparison. Site Description Alsea Falls Recreation Site is an approximately 26-acre developed camping and day-use recreation site adjacent to extensive non-motorized trails located in Benton County roughly 27 miles southwest of Corvallis near Alsea, Oregon. Alsea Falls, off the South Fork Alsea River National Back Country Byway is an alternate route from the Willamette Valley to the Coast Range. The Alsea Falls Recreation Site is located on the banks of the South Fork Alsea River. The site has a separate picnic area and campground connected by trails. Standard amenities include 22 picnic units, barbecue grills and fire pits, access to water, extensive non-motorized trails, interpretation kiosks, designated parking areas, vault toilet facilities and periodic patrols by park staff. Expanded amenity fees are charged for the 16 non-reservable campsites, which contain picnic tables, barbecue grills, fire pits, with access to water, extensive non-motorized trails, interpretation kiosks, designated parking, vault toilet facilities, and onsite host. Alsea Falls Recreation Site is open to vehicles annually from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. During the winter season, the site is open to pedestrians and bicyclists. Fee Assessment The expanded amenity fees have not been updated since 1999. A comparative analysis conducted in 2008 reviewed expanded and standard amenity fees at similar state, federal, and local park facilities. Expanded amenity fees are being increased and a standard amenity vehicle fee will be initiated based on this comparative market analysis. Increasing fees is necessary to continue to maintain and enhance the site’s high quality recreational opportunities. If fees are not increased, Alsea Falls Recreation Site would continue to be operated and managed below actual cost. Increased deferred maintenance costs, loss of ability to recruit volunteer staff, and declining opportunities for recreational access would result. Public Involvement Public involvement regarding fees has been conducted over the last 8 months including: on site postings within the recreation site, public notices placed in local newspapers, and posting on the Salem District website. Minimal public comments have been received as part of this outreach process since fees are in line with current market value, amenities provided, and cost of maintaining and operating the facility. A meeting with Benton County’s commissioner occurred December 9, 2008 with no comments. Public notice of the fee changes was posted onsite during the first two weeks of July 2008; one comment stated fees were fine as long as they were use at the site collected, another comment was that was too bad, no other comments were received from this posting. A news article in the Corvallis Gazette-Times mentioned fee increases at Alsea Falls and the sites on the Quartzville (http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/article_a2a8d933-9744-5ab5-83f7- bbf42f0b4e55.html). Another public notice posting of the new fee was posted July 14, 2009, which will remain until implemented. Comments were minimal, “where are you going to get the other $2” and “you should increase the camping fee to an even $20 and not implement a day-use fee because it is an administrative hassle. On July 21, 2009, a letter was mailed to congressional representative Kurt Schrader and the Benton County commissioner notifying them of proposed fee changes for 2010, no comments were received from this mailing. Press releases were sent to local papers in July 2009 for posting, but none has been published as of August 31, 2009. The public notice and news release contain contact information for public comments on the proposed fee changes. Website information was updated on February 3 informing the public fee increases were proposed for 2010. Fee signs and paper materials would reflect proposed fee change. The BLM would monitor visitation to detect changes in site utilization, document written and oral communication from the public on this issue, and assess all feedback. Business plan review would occur on a biennial schedule from the date of the last signature. Future adjustments to Alsea Falls fee schedule will reflect public comment and program implementation needs. Fee Schedule Comparison The fee schedule comparison outlines the existing and proposed changes for expanded and standard amenity recreation fees at Alsea Falls Recreation Site. Existing Fees Proposed Fees Expanded Amenity Recreation Fee: Group Campsite $10.00 $20.00 Individual Campsite $10.00 $12.00 Standard Amenity Recreation Fee: Daily Vehicle Pass N/A $3.00 Annual Vehicle Pass N/A $15.00 Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Council Site: South Cascades Recreation Sites Site Type: Expanded/Standard Amenity Proposed Action: Fee Increase and Recommended Fees: See attached fee schedule comparison Site Descriptions Fishermen’s Bend Recreation Site is a 178-acre developed camping and day-use recreation facility located in Marion County about 30 miles east of Salem, Oregon.

Elkhorn Valley Recreation Site is within the Little North Fork Santiam Recreation Area. Several agencies, including Marion County, US Forest Service, private timber companies, non-profit organizations, and the BLM work cooperatively to manage recreation within the area. Elkhorn Valley Recreation Site is open to day-use and camping from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. During the winter season, vehicular traffic is restricted while the site is open to pedestrians and bicyclists for day-use.

Quartzville Creek Recreation Area is the BLM-managed segment of the Quartzville Recreation Corridor located in the southeastern portion of Linn County. Several agencies, including Linn County, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Forest Service, private companies, and the BLM, cooperatively manage the corridor and associated Quartzville Back Country Byway (a.k.a. Quartzville Road). The byway starts one mile east of Sweet Home and ends 19 miles east of Detroit. The Quartzville Creek Recreation Area offers a variety of recreational opportunities, including recreational mining, whitewater boating, fishing, developed and undeveloped camping, and day-use activities such as swimming and picnicking. Recreational mining is one of the most popular activities, allowing visitors a chance to experience a part of the Quartzville mining history first hand. The BLM manages two developed campgrounds and one developed day-use site in the river corridor. Undeveloped camping and day-use makes up the majority of the visitor use. The majority of undeveloped visitor use occurs between the Quartzville byway and the river and is offered free of charge. In 1988, Congress added the lower 9.6 miles of Quartzville Creek to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System through passage of the Omnibus Oregon Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. In designating the lower portion of Quartzville Creek a National Wild and Scenic River, Congress directed the Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to manage for the protection and enhancement of Quartzville Creek’s outstandingly remarkable values and other river-related resource values, and to accommodate public uses consistent with the

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.
