Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; 

Federal Lands Recreation 

Enhancement Act, (Title VIII, Pub. L. 

108–447) 

AGENCY: Umpqua National Forest, 

USDA Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed New Fee 

Sites. 

SUMMARY: The Umpqua National Forest 

is proposing to charge fees at six 

recreation sites that currently do not 

charge fees: Ash Flat Forest Camp and 

Three C Rock campgrounds and the 

South Umpqua Day Use Area on the 

Tiller Ranger District; Rujada Group 

Picnic Site and East Brice Creek/ 

Champion Creek Trailhead on the 

Cottage Grove Ranger District; and 

Thielsen View Boat Launch on the 

Diamond Lake Ranger District. These 

sites currently meet, or can easily meet, 

the criteria of an Expanded or Standard 

Amenity fee. These sites have recently 

been reconstructed, have added or are 

scheduled to add amenities to improve 

services and experiences. Fees are 

assessed based on the level of amenities 

and services provided, cost of operation 

and maintenance, market assessment, 

and public comment. The fees listed are 

only proposed and will be determined 

upon further analysis and public 

comment. Funds from fees would be 

used for the continued operation and 

maintenance of these recreation sites. 

Ash Flat Camp is an existing 

campground that, with the addition of 

garbage collection, will have seven of 

the nine amenities (toilet, tables, access, 

fire ring, fee collection, tent sites, and 

reasonable visitor protection) of an 

Expanded Amenity site. Three C Rock 

was originally a picnic area, but a 

recently added five-unit campground 

adjacent to the picnic area now qualifies 

the site as an Expanded Amenity Site. 

Garbage service would also be provided 

at both sites. A financial analysis 

determined the use fees for these two 

sites may range between $6.00 and 

$14.00 per camp unit per night. An 

additional $3.00 to $5.00 may be 

charged for each additional vehicle per 

night. 

South Umpqua Day Use Area has all 

six Standard Amenity improvements 

including a permanent toilet, garbage 

receptacle, parking, interpretive signs, 

picnic tables, and security. Additional 

facilities include barbeques and an 

observation deck. A fee vault would be 

added so recreation users could pay the 

fee on-site. The fee area would include 

parking along Road 28 within the 

designated area. People who park at 

these turnouts use the Day Use Area and 

its amenities. Financial analyses based 

on level of amenities suggest a day use 

fee of $1.00 to $5.00 per vehicle per day. 

The site is proposed to become a fee site 

where the Northwest Forest Pass ($5.00 

per day or $30 for an annual pass) or 

other applicable passes would be 

accepted. 

Rujada Picnic Site is currently a free, 

day-use area with both group and 

individual picnic sites and a trailhead 

recreation site that is frequented by 

single families as well as large groups. 

The site provides all six of the Standard 

Amenity improvements including 

garbage collection, toilets, tables, 

parking, interpretive sign, and security 

as well as recent improvements 

including the installation of a new 

potable water line and faucets, and a 

play ground next to a large open area 

with horseshoes pits. Based on the level 

of amenities and the type of use 

occurring at this site, a Group Day Use 

reservation and fee is being proposed. 

There are 2 adjacent Group Use Sites, 

each with a maximum capacity of 20 to 

30 people per site, or 40 to 65 for both 

sites. Each site will be available to 

reserve through the Recreation.gov 

reservation system. Rates being 

proposed are $25 per day for one site or 

$50 for both sites. These fees would be 

required only during the managed 

season of Memorial Day weekend 

through Labor Day weekend. 

East Brice Trailhead, also known as 

Champion Creek Trailhead, is currently 

not a fee site. It is used for parking and 

access to the adjacent Noonday OHV 

trail system and 3 adjacent hiker/ 

mountain bike trails. The site provides 

five of the six Standard Amenity 

improvements including a permanent
