This grant is for a project to develop a comprehensive description of visitor use across 16 Wild and Scenic River (WSR) segments in Owyhee County. The project will estimate current visitor levels and compare them against a defined maximum capacity. This capacity will be determined by the resource protections necessary to maintain the WSR segments’ values. The initiative will also establish clear criteria for future decision-making regarding visitor use and for evaluating use in relation to the established capacity. Ultimately, if maximum capacity is reached, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will implement a system to regulate visitor access, ensuring the long-term protection of the valuable river resources.

| Description: | This project will develop a description of the visitor use along the 16 WSR segments. This description will provide an estimate of the current use and compare its levels with the maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will be developed in relation to the resource protections necessary to maintain the WSR segments values. This project, through these descriptions, will then outline criteria to be used to make decisions in the future. The criteria will also be used to evaluate visitor use in relation to maximum capacity. Once maximum capacity is reached, a system to regulate use in order to protect resource values would be implemented by BLM. |
