AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of camping closure order.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that effective immediately, the 
undeveloped site in the Cascade Resource Area known as the Porter Creek 
Day Use Area is closed to camping. The closed area is generally 
described as follows:

approximately .2 miles north of the mouth of Porter Creek, T. 7 N., 
R. 2 E., section 11, lot 4, and section 14, lot 1.

    Past camping use of this small, undeveloped site has caused 
considerable adverse impacts to the area including vegetative damage, 
riparian area degradation, water quality impacts, [[Page 25732]] and

degradation of the area by campers. Camping closure signs will be 
posted at the site.

conformance with the Cascade Resource Management Plan. It will remain 
in effect until rescinded or modified by the authorized officer.
