Review of necessity for road build- ing or other timbering associated activ- ities or practices that reduce the forest cover and cause erosion Development of a public infonnation process that includes posting the tim- ber sale with informative signs that describe the action being taken and reasons why (Le. bark beetle kill, etc.) and distribution of information to local media for public information Review possibility for road closures in areas not actively being used and impacting water quality Review of stream side and wetland set- backs requirements in order to protect riparian vegetation and promote vege- tative filtering of sediment, fertilizers, fecal material, etc. in stormwater runoff Work with USFS and BLM to revise/develop standards for water quality protection (and provide proper enforcement mechanisms) in their management documents . . . . suggested Recreati~n BMPs (see also Chapter 7: RecreatIOn) 1 . Keep constructed trails out of riparian areas, but if area is heavily used, provide a developed trail to concentrate impacts. 2. Provide toilets and trash receptacles in areas of high recreation use (e.g. parking areas to serve adjacent streams, boat launch areas, high fishing use areas). 3. Develop, implement, where necessary, trav- el management restrictions on public land off-road areas where erosive soils are present (USFS, BLM). Enforcement of these restrictions is also necessary. 4. Review public access areas for site harden- ing and erosion due to overuse or poor access. Develop program for appropriate site improvements. ~-...: ) ( ( .~ ~ 39
