Emergency Closure of Federal Lands

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that certain BLM public lands in Alpine 
County, CA, west of Foothill Road, which include the mouth of Faye 
Canyon and Luther Creek, are closed to all motorized vehicles. The 
recent opening of a Forest Service parking lot and trailhead adjacent 
to the subject BLM lands has dramatically increased the potential for 
motorized public access. This temporary closure is necessary to 
preclude potential adverse effects to soils, vegetation, cultural, 
wildlife and riparian resources.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This closure goes into effect upon publication in the 
Federal Register, and will remain in effect until the Manager, Carson 
City Field Office, determines it is no longer needed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR TO C0MMENT CONTACT: Arthur Callan, Outdoor 
Recreation Planner, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701. 
Telephone (775) 885-6000 or e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands included in this closure are those 
public lands within Mt. Diablo Meridian, Sections 26 and 35, T. 12 N., 
R. 19 E. The authorities for this closure are 43 CFR 8341.2 and 8364.1. 
Any person failing to comply with the closure order is subject to 
arrest and fines in accordance with the applicable provisions of 18 USC 
3571 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months. This order applies to 
all motorized vehicles excluding (1) any emergency, law enforcement or 
agency vehicles while being used for emergency or administrative 
purposes, and (2) any vehicle whose use is expressly authorized in 
writing by the Manager, Carson City Field Office.

    Dated: December 20, 2000.
John O. Singlaub,
Carson City Field Manager.
