AGENCY: Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest, USDA Forest Service.
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee
sites.
SUMMARY: The Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest is planning to charge
fees at eight recreation sites. All sites
have recently been reconstructed or
amenities are being added to improve
services and experiences. Fees are
assessed based on the level of amenities
and services provided, cost of operation
and maintenance, market assessment,
and public comment. The fees listed are
only proposed and will be determined
upon further analysis and public
comments. Funds from fees would be
used for the continued operation and
maintenance of these recreation sites.
Moss Springs Guard Station will be
available for overnight rental. A
financial analysis is being completed to
determine the rental fee but may range
between $60 and $80 per night. Rental

cabins offer a unique experience and are
a widely popular offering on National
Forests. Moss Springs Guard Station
was restored in the late 1990s to
maintain its historic value and provide
overnight use by the public. It was taken
off the rental system over five years ago;
however, renewed interest by the public
for rental cabins has increased. Fees
would continue to help protect the
historic integrity of the Moss Springs
Guard Station.
The following campgrounds are
currently a fee free site: Two Color,
Umapine, Boulder Park, North Fork
Catherine Creek Group Site, Spring
Creek and Oregon Trail Interpretive
Park. These sites provide campsites, fire
rings, picnic tables and toilets. New
toilets were installed at most of these
developed recreation sites within the
last five years. The new fee will address
sanitation and safety concerns, and
improve deteriorating resource
conditions and recreation experiences.
A financial analysis is being completed
to determine fee rates. The proposed fee
to help maintain these sites would range
between $8 and $15 a campsite and $3
per one additional vehicle per campsite.
The Elkhorn Crest Trailhead would be
re-established as a fee site since
amenities such as garbage service have
been added and interpretive signing is
being developed for this site. Recreation
Passes such as the Northwest Forest
Pass would cover day use fees for this
trailhead. Northwest Forest Passes are
$5 for a daily pass and $30 for an annual
pass.
DATES: The Agency must receive public
comments before July 30, 2010. New
fees would begin after July 30, 2010 and
contingent upon completion of certain
improvements. The cabin rental would
be available once a final decision is
made and is listed with the National
Recreation Reservation Service.
