DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

[OR–933–6332–00; GP5–101]

Closures and Restrictions: Oregon and

Washington

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR part 8364,

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

will place certain restrictions on the use

of caves located on BLM-administered

lands in Oregon and Washington. The

purpose of the restrictions is to insure

the protection of significant and

potentially significant caves on BLMadministered lands in the two states.

The Federal Cave Resources

Protection Act of 1988 (16 USC 4306)

states that significant caves on federal

lands are an invaluable and

irreplaceable part of the Nation’s natural

heritage and, in some instances, these

significant caves are threatened due to

improper use, increased recreational

demands, urban spread, and lack of

specific statutory protection. As

provided by the Act, it is also the policy

of the United States that federal lands be

managed in a manner which protect and

maintain, to the extent practical,

significant caves. Cave Management

regulations define the process and

criteria for determining cave

significance (43 CFR Part 37, published

in the Federal Register, Volume 58, No.

189 on October 1, 1993, pages 51550–

51555). In accordance with the Act,

federal agencies are required to

prescribe policy or regulation which

includes management measures to

insure that caves under consideration

for listing of significance be protected

during the period of consideration. The

Act further provides for agencies to

regulate or restrict use, as appropriate

for caves determined to be significant.

The term ‘‘cave’’ means any naturally

occurring void, cavity, recess, or system

of interconnected passages which

occurs beneath the surface of the earth

or within a cliff or ledge (including any
19078 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 1995 / Notices

cave resource therein, but not including

any vug, mine, tunnel, aqueduct, or

other manmade excavation) and which

is large enough to permit an individual

to enter, whether or not the entrance is

naturally formed or manmade. Such

term shall include any natural pit,

sinkhole, or other feature which is an

extension of the entrance.

Recreational or other human activities

are allowed in caves when consistent

with protecting other cave resource

values. Foot access and exploration in

caves is permissible, unless otherwise

limited.

Until caves are determined significant

and management plans are prepared

which provide specific management

prescriptions, the following interim

restrictions will insure the protection of

significant and potentially significant

caves on federal lands administered by

the BLM in Oregon and Washington.

Interim Cave Management Restrictions

1. Where known or potential adverse

impacts from human use to threatened,

endangered, and/or sensitive plants or

animals, cultural resources, biological

deposits (i.e. middens, skeletal remains,

etc.), or geologic/paleontologic/mineral

features are present, the responsible

authorized officer shall act to protect

these resources. Such actions could

include information/education, closures

(seasonally or year-long), written

authorization for activities, or other

appropriate measures.

2. Written authorization will be

required from the responsible

authorized officer for any activity or

installation that could destroy, disturb,

deface, mar, alter, harm, remove cave

resources or alter the free movement of

life into or out of any significant or

potentially significant cave. This could

include recreational, scientific,

educational, commercial or competitive

uses. Written authorization can be in the

form of an approved management plan,

use permit or authorizing letter.

3. The BLM retains the authority to

limit or terminate uses and/or require

the restoration of cave resources if it is

determined that unacceptable resource

damage is occurring.

4. The BLM will consider proposals

for special activities, including placing

fixed anchors in a cave, establishing a

trail to a cave, research, etc. For existing

uses or activity proposals where it is

determined that a management plan is

required, priority will be given to caves

where extensive recreational uses are

occurring or significant resource

conflicts may be at issue.

5. Authorized activities or

installations are subject to the agency’s

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) process and shall be consistent

with the intent of the Federal Cave

Resources Protection Act of 1988 and

any conditions of existing policy and/or

management decisions for the affected

cave(s). Written authorization would

require the applicant to provide the

time, scope, location and specific

purpose of the proposed activity and the

manner in which the activity is to be

performed.

6. Unless otherwise authorized, the

following acts are prohibited in all caves

on BLM-administered lands. The

responsible authorized officer will take

appropriate action needed to reduce or

eliminate the occurrence of the acts.

• Willfully defacing, removing or

destroying plants or their parts, soil,

rocks or minerals, or cave resources

• Building, maintaining, attending or

using any fire, campfire or stove

• Smoking

• Camping

• Possessing, discharging or using

any kind of fireworks or other

pyrotechnic device

• Discharging a firearm, air rifle, gas

gun or paint gun

• Possessing a domestic animal

• Depositing or disposing of human

waste

• Digging, excavation, or

displacement of natural and/or cultural

features

• Entering into a cave which requires

written authorization; or engaging in

any activities for which a written

authorization requirement has been

established, without having obtained in

advance and having in possession such

written authorization

• The use of hand drying agents for

climbing which are not natural

appearing

• New surface disturbing activities

within a 350 foot radius of a cave

opening or any known cave passages

which may adversely impact any

significant or potentially significant

cave resource value.

7. Existing installations (e.g. stairs,

ladders, fixed anchors, etc.) will be

evaluated for retention or removal.

Retained and future installations

designed and authorized to be left in

place should normally be camouflaged

to minimize visual impacts. Method of

removal or future placement will be preapproved by the authorized officer and

a condition of written authorization.

Any non-permanent apparatus or

equipment used must be removed

immediately after its use.

8. The use of hand drying agents for

climbing requires mitigation measures

(chalk balls, pigmented chalk, etc.) to

avoid creating a visual impact from

residue. If needed, periodic cleaning of

drying agents by cave users to the

satisfaction of the authorized officer can

be required.

Penalties

Any person who violates this closure

and restriction notice may be subject to

a maximum fine not to exceed $1,000

and/or imprisonment not to exceed

twelve months under authority of 43

CFR 8360.0–7.
