SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coal Creek campground was constructed in
2014 to be ADA-accessible (Americans with Disabilities Act). It has two
vault toilets, a solar-power potable water well, campfire rings, level
parking pads with barriers, and a newly constructed trailhead with
access to the popular Maah Daah Hey Trail. Fees are based on the level
of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance,
market assessment, and public comment. Funds collected from the new fee
will be used for continued operation, maintenance, and future capital
improvements. This new fee aligns the campground with other sites
offering similar amenities and services.
This fee proposal was vetted through the U.S. Forest Service,
Northern Region public involvement process which included announcement
of the proposal in local and regional media outlets, on the Forest
internet and social media sites, and briefing of federal and local
elected officials. The results of these efforts were presented to the
local Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) for evaluation and
recommendation to implement the new recreation fee.
Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites and services, will
help ensure that the Grasslands can continue maintaining and improving
recreation sites for future generations. A market analysis of
surrounding recreation sites with similar amenities indicates that the
proposed fees are comparable and reasonable.
Dated: July 23, 2021.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
