East Fork Jemez Wild and Scenic River Recreation Management
The Jemez Ranger District, of the Santa Fe National Forest is initiating the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for a proposal to restrict camping and prohibit certain camping activities within the East Fork Jemez Wild and Scenic River (WSR) Corridor on the Jemez Ranger District. The purpose of these restrictions is to reduce resource impacts that have been documented repeatedly over the last twenty years, resulting in effects to water quality, wildlife habitat, and visual and scenic resources. This proposal would also move resource conditions toward management guidelines and desired conditions stated in the Santa Fe National Forest Plan (1987), as amended by the Jemez National Recreation Area Management Plan (2002) and the East Fork Wild and Scenic River Management Plan (2002). Scoping for this project included public meetings in April and June 2009 and a scoping letter asking for comments between March 1 and April 5, 2010.
