SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This temporary road closure to public access 
affects public lands in the Cave Gulch area. The public lands affected 
by the closure are as described as follows:

    During the summer of 2009, unauthorized levels of surface 
disturbance occurred along some roads and two-track roads in the area 
of Cave Gulch. As a result, the BLM took immediate action to reduce 
erosion and to prevent or reduce the levels of noxious and invasive 
weed establishment in the bare-ground areas that were created. The BLM 
closed the roads to motorized vehicles to facilitate successful 
stabilization. The BLM posted signs at main entry points to the 
temporary closure area.
    Maps of the closed roads and information may be obtained from the 
Burns District Office, 28910 Hwy 20 West, Hines, Oregon 97738. Further
