<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />All fires must be completely extinguished when unattended. <br />Wildfire is a very serious threat to the canyons. To reduce <br />the potential of man-caused fires, build one small fire rather <br />than several scattered ones or a bonfire. Do not build fires <br />near vegetation that could ignite. Control your fire, especially <br />on windy days. <br /> <br />All ash and charcoal residue from fires must be carried out of <br />the canyons. Ash and charcoal should not be disposed of in the <br />r1vers. <br /> <br />C. Waste Disposal: All refuse must be carried out of the canyons <br />and placed in an acceptable disposal area. Particular attention <br />should be given to the proper disposal of pop tops, cigarette <br />butts and toilet paper. <br /> <br />Properly bagged trash may be deposited in the garbage trailer (an <br />old horse trailer) parked near the Echo Park boat ramp. Boaters <br />should not deposit trash in the garbage cans provided for campers <br />at Echo Park, Deerlodge and Rainbow Park, or in the pit toilets. <br /> <br />All liquid wastes, including dishwater, must be strained to <br />remove solids, such as coffee grounds and food particles. Strained <br />liquids may be disposed of in the main river current (not a back <br />eddy). <br /> <br />The recycling of aluminum cans is encouraged. A container is <br />provided at the Split Mountain boat ramp for aluminum recycling. <br /> <br />D. Water: Each party should bring its own water supply. Water from <br />the wells and springs along the river is not safe to drink unless <br />treated. River water should not be used untreated as raw sewage <br />is occasionally discharged into the river east of the monument. <br /> <br />Drinking water is available at Lodore and Echo Park, but is not <br />available at Deerlodge. <br /> <br />The use of soap in sidestreams is prohibited. Biodegradable soaps <br />may be used sparingly in the river. <br /> <br />Construction of rock dams in Jones Hole Creek is prohibited. <br /> <br />VII. Other Information <br /> <br />A. Physical Condition and Safety: A raft trip on the Green or Yampa <br /> <br />Rivers is a rigorous adventure. This trip should be attempted <br />only by those in good physical condition and health. <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br />..t_, <br />, ~ <br />
