SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Crooked River Ranch is an unincor-
porated community with a population of 5,000 resi-
dents. 
(2)
The
current
lands
located
adjacent
to 
Crooked River Ranch are managed by the Bureau of 
Land Management and are classified as a Wilder-
ness Study Area. 
(3) There is currently only one entrance/exit to 
the Crooked River Ranch. 
(4) Jefferson County and Crooked River Ranch 
have determined that the Wilderness Study Area 
lands are in the highest risk category for exposure 
to devastating wildfire due to overstocked juniper 
stands under the federally mandated and locally pro-
mulgated
Jefferson
County
Community
Wildfire 
Protection Plan (CWPP). 
(5) The current Wilderness Study Area classi-
fication prevents mechanical fire prevention activities 
within the overstocked juniper stands. 
(6) Advancing this proposed legislation will 
greatly enhance the life and safety of people and 
property by reducing the extreme fire threat to these 
lands.
