ADDRESSES:
This order
is issued under the authority of 43 CFR
8341.2, 43 CFR 8364.1, and 43 CFR
9268.3(d)(1) as an emergency measure.
This action qualifies as a Categorical
Exclusion under 516 DM 6, Appendix
5.4, Number: _G_.(_3_) and has been
considered in Categorical Exclusion
CO–100–2005–001CX, which was
signed on December 9, 2004. Further
investigation is proceeding and plans
for reclamation of damaged resources
are being developed.
This order affects public lands in
Moffat County, Colorado, thus
described:
(1) Public Lands within: T.4N.,
R.96W., Sections 15 and 22, Sixth
Principal Meridian;
(2) Approximately: 3 acres of public
lands.
This restriction order shall be
effective on February 22, 2005, and shall
remain in effect until resource
reclamation objectives have been
achieved and the order is then
rescinded by the Authorized Officer.
During the summer of 2004, an
unknown person used heavy
construction equipment to widen an
existing trail and build a new route on
public lands that accommodates full
size pickup truck vehicle use. Use of
these routes by wheeled motorized
vehicles has the potential to cause
considerable adverse effects to soil,
water, and cultural resources.
The designated area affected by this
order will be posted with appropriate
regulatory signs. Persons who are
exempt from restriction contained in
this notice include:
1. Any Federal, State, or local officers
engaged in fire, emergency, and law
enforcement activities.
2. Persons or agencies holding a
special use permit or right-of-way for
access to exercise their permit within
the restricted area, for purposes related
to access for maintenance and operation
of authorized facilities, and provided
such motorized use is limited to the
routes specifically identified in the
special use permit or right-of-way.
3. Grazing permittees holding a valid
grazing permit for the restricted area.
Such permittees will contact the
Authorized Officer, when possible, prior
to motorized vehicle use of the route(s)
