Seasonal Closure of the CCC Road; (Numbered 41-14E-11) Klamath 
County, OR

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of the seasonal closure of the CCC Road at the Barnes 
Valley creek crossing in Klamath County, Oregon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that during the winter and spring high 
water periods, the CCC road (Numbered 41-14E-11) on the east side of 
Gerber Reservoir in Klamath County, Oregon will be closed to through 
traffic at the CCC road's junction with the north and south rims of the 
Barnes Valley Creek canyon. The road will be closed by the Authorized 
Officer when water levels in Barnes Valley Creek make the CCC road's 
low water crossing at Barnes Valley Creek unsafe to use by the public. 
Gates have been installed at the CCC road junction with the north and 
south rims of the Barnes Valley Creek canyon. The closure is made under 
the authority of 43 CFR 8364.1.
    The following persons, operating within the scope of their official 
duties, are exempt from the provisions of this closure order: Bureau 
employees; state, local, and Federal law enforcement and fire 
protection personnel. Access by additional parties may be allowed, but 
must be approved in advance in writing by the Authorized Officer.
    Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this closure 
order may be subject to the penalties provided in 43 CFR 8360.0-7, 
which include a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to 
exceed 12 months, as well as the penalties provided under Oregon State 
law.
    The road temporarily closed to through traffic under this order 
will be posted with signs at points of public road access.
    The purpose of this emergency temporary closure is to protect 
persons from potential harm due to high water flows and flood 
conditions in Barnes Valley Creek. The road will be opened by the 
Authorized Officer when water levels in Barnes Valley Creek make the 
CCC road safe to use by the public.
