SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since most desert visitors use motorized
vehicles to engage in desert activites, a suitable vehicle
transportation network is crucial to their needs. Access for desert use
and enjoyment needs to be provided while at the same time natural
resources are protected. Access outside of motorized vehicle ``open''
areas is managed through the Vehicle Route Designation Process. This
was initiated on adoption of the California Desert Conservation Area
Plan and is described in the Motorized Vehicle Access Element. The El
Centro Resource Area is updating its vehicle designations for Public
Lands in Eastern San Diego County and in Imperial County those Public
Lands west of a line along the Chocolate Mountains Aerial Gunnery Range
and the east side of the Imperial Sand Dunes.
