Notice of Temporary Restriction Order
AGENCY:
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management
(BLM), Arcata Field Office will establish
temporary restrictions pursuant to the
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 43,
Subpart 8364.1 to effectively implement
interim management guidelines for
certain BLM-administered public lands
hereafter referred to as ‘‘Ma-le’l Dunes’’,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:11 Dec 01, 2005
Jkt 205001
located in Township 6 North, Range 1
West, portions of Sections 26, 27, 34,
and 35, Humboldt County, California.
Ma-le’l Dunes consists of approximately
150 acres and is located along the
coastline nearly two miles west of
Arcata, CA. These restrictions are
needed on a temporary basis until a
Resource Management Plan (RMP)
Amendment, beginning in 2008, is
completed for the area. The area is now
open to dispersed recreation uses with
an emphasis placed on accommodating
pedestrian and equestrian access to the
coastline. The temporary restrictions are
as follows:
The parking/picnic area will be closed
to vehicles from one hour after sunset to
sunrise;
Equestrian use will be allowed on
designated trails and the waveslope;
Pedestrian use will be allowed on
designated trails, open sandy areas, and
the waveslope;
Dogs must be leashed in the
developed recreation site (parking/
picnic area); otherwise dogs will be
allowed off-leash consistent with the
Humboldt County ordinance;
Group camping will be allowed on a
case by case basis under Special
Recreation Permit guidelines. Criteria
for determining permit issuance
include: (1) Size of group, (2) number of
permits per month, (3) purpose of event
(does it benefit the overall community
in some way). Additional criteria may
be developed as an adaptive
management measure;
Vegetative gathering for personal use
will be allowed from May to November
along designated trails. Off-trail
gathering will require a permit during
this same time period;
Fires will be allowed in designated
sites (fire rings) only;
The area will be open to day use, from
sunrise to one hour after sunset.
Overnight camping will not be allowed
except by permit.
Employees, agents and permitees of
the BLM may be exempt from these
restrictions for administrative and
emergency purposes only.
Penalties include a fine not to exceed
$1,000 and/or imprisonment not to
exceed 12 months. These restrictions are
necessary to (1) Protect aquatic and
terrestrial species from the effects of
unregulated impacts, (2) ensure public
safety, (3) reduce the potential for
wildfires in this wildland urban
interface, and (4) minimize inadvertent
trespass onto adjoining private property.
They will remain in effect until a formal
planning process, with full public
participation, is completed.
DATES: These restrictions will be
effective once they are posted at the
PO 00000

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Manager, 1695 Heindon Road, Arcata,
CA 95521. Ms. Roush may also be
contacted by telephone: (707) 825–2300.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
recently acquired this 38-acre parcel
adjacent to its existing 112 acres and
developed a parking and picnic area to
accommodate an increased demand for
pedestrian and equestrian access to the
beach. The anticipated increased visitor
use will have unacceptable adverse
impacts on significant resource values,
including impacts on endangered plant
species, if temporary restrictions are not
initiated.
By taking this interim action, BLM
provides responsible public access and
recreation uses, while contributing to
the conservation of two endangered
species in accordance with Section
7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA), 16 U.S.C 1536(a)(1). These
restrictions will be posted in the BLM
Arcata Field Office and at places near
and/or within the affected public lands.
