# SUMMARY:

The Bureau of Reclamation's Central California Area Office (CCAO) at Lake Berryessa will temporarily change public use at Oak Shores Day Use Area. After 50 years, concession contracts have expired and recreational opportunities provided at four closed resorts are no longer available. Until such time as new contracts can be awarded, Reclamation will provide a change from day use to overnight camping at this area. The North End of Oak Shores will be converted from day use only to overnight camping with up to 100 sites. Camping will be considered semi-primitive and will provide potable water spigots, restroom facilities, fire rings, picnic tables and some shade shelters. This change in use will serve to enhance public safety, provide additional public recreational services while providing for and protection of cultural and natural resources.

# DATES:

*Effective Dates:*                         The change of use will become effective May 22, 2009 and continue indefinitely until new contracts can be awarded and the new concessioner can begin to provide recreational services.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This action is being taken under 43 CFR part 423 to provide recreational services to the public, provide public safety and prevent additional resource degradation. Reclamation will change public use of Oak Shores. Presently Oak Shores is being used for day use; picnics, fishing, wildlife viewing, and swimming. By not providing designated camping, additional resource degradation at non-designated sites would occur.

The south side of Oak Shores will remain open for day use and the north side will be sectioned off to provide for the campsites. Camping at Oak Shores will be available for up to fourteen days only during any period of 30 consecutive days, as required by 43 CFR part 423.33.

Reclamation will develop the campgrounds and offer an interim contract to a concessioner for operation of the campgrounds. Security will be provided by the concessioner. A reservation system will be required and fees will be charged based on comparable fees to other areas in a 100 mile radius of Lake Berryessa. The public will be notified of the changes through signage, newspaper press releases and Web site postings.

This order is posted in accordance with 43 CFR part 423.60. Violation of this prohibition or any prohibition listed in 43 CFR part 423 is punishable by fine or imprisonment for not more than six months or both.
