Klamath Project |
Klamath Project - The Upper Klamath River Basin has extensive land and water resources which are not fully developed. The terrain varies from rugged, heavily timbered mountain slopes to rolling sagebrush benchlands and broad, flat valleys. The project plan includes construction of facilities to divert and distribute water for irrigation of basin lands, including reclamation of Tule and Lower Klamath Lakes, and control of floods in the area. |

New Melones Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) Fee Program |
New Melones Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) Fee Program homepage - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2005 Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, or REA for short (P.L.
108-447), provides authority for Reclamation to join four other federal agencies in a fee
collection and revenue retention program, issue special recreation use permits, and
participate in a nationwide parks pass initiative called the Interagency Pass program. For
Reclamation, implementing this legislation marks the first time that certain recreation
areas such as New Melones Lake are provided the opportunity to retain revenues at the
site collected, to be used for the enhancement of recreation facilities and services and
other public benefits. Previous fee authority required all revenues to be deposited into
the Land and Water Conservation Fund or the Federal Treasury.
Visitors to New Melones Lake Recreation Areas have access to high quality
standard and expanded amenities which meet the criteria for a fee program under REA.
Amenities such as developed boat launch ramps and day use areas with paved parking,
permanent restrooms, sanitation services, onsite ranger staff and other features have
historically been provided free of charge at New Melones. Visitors to New Melones are
currently being charged fees only for camping, while most other reservoir-based
recreation areas in the region also charge fees for day use, boat launching, RV dump
stations, pets etc. Per Reclamation Manual PEC-01-01, ?recreation? is a proprietary
activity for which user charges are to be collected: these charges are to be based on
`market? or `comparable? prices. Failing to charge comparable fees potentially
undermines the ability of other local businesses and agencies to compete for recreation
dollars. This is contrary to the requirements contained in Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A25. |
