Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Willamette National Forest is proposing to establish
several new recreation fee sites. Recreation fee revenues collected at
the new recreation fee sites would be used for operation, maintenance,
and improvement of the sites. An analysis of nearby recreation fee
sites with similar amenities shows the recreation fees that would be
charged at the new recreation fee sites are reasonable and typical of
similar recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new recreation fees would be implemented no
earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Willamette National Forest, 3106 Pierce Parkway, Suite D,
Springfield, OR 97477.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matt Peterson, Recreation Program
Manager, 541-225-6421 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#88e5e9fcfce0edffa6f8edfcedfafbe7e6b9c8fdfbece9a6efe7fe"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e38e8297978b8694cd9386978691908c8dd2a396908782cd848c95">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish a six-month
advance notice in the Federal Register of establishment of new
recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook
2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed new
recreation fee sites in local newspapers and other local publications
for public comment. Most of the new recreation fee revenues would be
spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor experience at the
new recreation fee sites.
An expanded amenity recreation fee of $16 per night and $6 per
extra vehicle would be charged for the Daly Lake, Scott Lake, Harralson
Horse Camp, and Skookum Campgrounds. In addition, an expanded amenity
recreation fee of $85 per night would be charged for rental of Marion
Forks Guard Station and Gold Lake Cabin.
Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new
recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, these new recreation fees will be reviewed by
a Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for Daly Lake, Scott Lake, Harralson Horse
Camp, and Skookum Campgrounds, Marion Forks Guard Station, and Gold
Lake Cabin could be made online at <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling
877-444-6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation.
