Q: I am looking for some help in creating opportunities for motorized recreation and diminishing the resource degradation that occurs from unplanned, unmanaged OHV use. We have a very old Master plan and Project EIS that do not address motorized recreation or motorized travel other than on the main Project roads. We are in the process of drafting a recreation addendum to the master plan and EIS for motorized recreation access. I am looking for examples of how other Projects and Districts have handled motorized recreation or recently developed new policy, processes or procedures for motorized use. I am not looking for listings of problems that have been encountered, but creative solutions to include the development of trails, ATV areas and campsites. Of particular interest is the background on Project authorities and NEPA actions required to develop these facilities. Thank You, Paul J.
