Recreation Site – Facility Master Planning DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST PROPOSED 5-YEAR PROGRAM OF WORK
November 2006
Background The Deschutes National Forest proposes future management of developed recreation sites through a process called “Recreation Site Facility Master Planning (RS-FMP).” Every national forest in the nation will also complete this process by 2007. We want to provide healthy, safe, and well-maintained recreation opportunities that are important to local communities and visitors to our area. Through the RS-FMP process, the overall goals of our recreation site program are to: • • • • • • Focus resources on the most appropriate recreation opportunities to meet changing public desires and demands. Maintain or enhance visitor satisfaction with the sites and services provided. Meet quality health and safety standards at all developed recreation sites. Be financially sustainable. Be environmentally sound. Maintain community sustainability.
Many of our facilities were built thirty to fifty years ago, and have reached the end of their useful life without significant deferred maintenance investment. Other facilities receive little or no use, and no longer serve the demand that existed in years past. The fundamental premise of the RSFMP is to create an inventory which is sustainable and flexible enough to adapt to changes in demand, available resources, and opportunities. The RS-FMP process involves several steps: gathering inventory and financial data; identifying the forest recreation niche; evaluating each developed recreation site against established national criteria (including conformance with the forest niche, financial efficiency, and environmental and community sustainability); and ranking the recreation sites according to those criteria. Using this analysis, as well as professional judgment and assessment of our ability to meet current and future demand, the Forest has documented a proposed 5-Year Program of Work. We welcome your comments and suggestions on this proposal. What’s Happening on the Deschutes National Forest? The recreation niche of a national forest defines the recreation experiences and benefits that the forest can provide. It describes the unique qualities of the recreation experience. The niche is about recreation opportunities provided by the Forest within the context of the forest’s ecological features, opportunities provided by others in the area, and the demands and desires of recreation visitors now and into the future. The Deschutes National Forest niche is: 1
FUN in the SUN! “The Deschutes National Forest is the hub of incredible opportunities in diverse settings within close proximity to one another, facilitating four season day-use recreation opportunities.” This niche provides an umbrella context for all recreation programs on the Forest and helps us match up what is most wanted with what we can best provide, to create the most value for the public within our available resources. Through this Recreation Sites Facility Master Planning, we are proposing a 5-year program of work to bring the Forest’s recreation infrastructure into alignment with the forest recreation niche and the resources available to operate and maintain it to standard. This proposed program of work also addresses the backlog of facility maintenance that has increased over the years, creating health, safety, and visitor satisfaction concerns. Referred to as “deferred maintenance,” the amount of work needed in sites nationally is over $346 million. On the Deschutes National Forest, the backlog of deferred maintenance is over $6.2 million. Along with that, less than twenty-five percent of all Forest Service developed recreation sites is now being operated to meet all quality standards. More about the Recreation Site Facility Master Planning Analysis: The Forest completed an evaluation of each developed recreation site using established national criteria, ranking their recreation sites according to those criteria, and making a recommendation for a proposed 5-year program of work using this information as well as professional judgment, and ability to meet current and future demand. The criteria include: • • • Conformance to the forest niche and amount of recreation use (35%) Financial efficiency (35%) Environmental and community sustainability (30%).
We also considered sites under operational or contractual agreements where terms are longer than the 5-year period of the RS-FMP analysis (i.e. campgrounds managed by concessionaires). The Deschutes National Forest evaluated a total of 212 developed recreation sites. The following table summarizes the number of recreation sites evaluated by site type.

The Proposed Actions and Program of Work for the Deschutes National Forest: The Deschutes National Forest currently manages 212 developed recreation sites. The following is a summary of the proposed changes that will bring the Forest’s recreation infrastructure into alignment with the resources available to operate and maintain it to standard. • • Remove constructed features at 23 sites and manage them as dispersed recreation sites. Change the season of management at 85 sites (increase the season of management at 32 sites and reduce the season of management at 53 sites) to reflect current management and operating seasons and better serve the public. Change operator or work force at 9 sites by seeking partnerships to operate and maintain 5 sites, where possible partners have been identified; and by including 4 sites, currently managed by the Forest, in the next (FY 2009) campground Concession permit prospectus.

•
Pending Recreation Resource Advisory Committee review and recommendation, improve 12 day use sites to meet public demand, protect resources, and increase recreation opportunities and begin charging day use recreation fees at these sites. Pending Recreation Resource Advisory Committee review and recommendation, implement fees at 2 overnight sites where we do not currently charge. These 2 overnight sites would be included in the next (FY 2009) campground Concession permit prospectus, in addition to the 4 sites identified above. Remove or eliminate a cost source at 1 site. Increase and/or upgrade facilities at 28 existing sites to better meet customer expectations and protect resources. Reduce capacity (PAOTS) at 2 campgrounds to reduce costs where low occupancy exists. No change is proposed for 50 sites. Apply 10% of all revenue collected at non-concession operated recreation sites toward backlog deferred maintenance. Pursue cost share funding through the Oregon State Marine Board for boat launch facilities.

Results The following results can be expected upon implementation of the proposed management actions described in the attachment. These particular results focus specifically on financial sustainability, reduced deferred maintenance, and meeting quality health and safety standards at all developed recreation sites. Program of Work Changed Condition $ 149,828 $ 272,666 $ 186,055 $ 206,907 $ 4,554,275 4,964,889 $ 0.08
Result Appropriated Funds Available1 Fee Receipts Available Annual Operating Costs Annual Maintenance Costs Deferred Maintenance Costs PAOT Days Managed to Standard2 Annual O&M Costs/PAOT Day
1
Baseline Condition $ 149,828 $ 270,000 $ 218,823 $ 297,584 $ 6,202,347 3,685,392 $ 0.13
Percent Change 0% +1% -15% -30% -27% +34% -38%
Appropriated funds available are reflected using FY 2006 as the baseline funding year, with the assumption for this analysis that developed recreation funding will remain flat (subject to forest and regional priorities). PAOT = People at One Time (or capacity of a site at any one time). PAOT Days equate to the number of days in a season where sites are managed to standard multiplied by total PAOT.

We will also continue to monitor visitor satisfaction with the sites and services provided, and consider how our developed recreation program contributes to local community stability. Some of the proposed actions will require full National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis, assuring environmentally sound decisions. How closely the Forest adheres to the plan will depend upon available funding and resources, as well as the public’s interest, and in many cases, involvement and partnership to enhance our recreation program.

Attachment Proposed Management Actions Deschutes National Forest August 15, 2006
The following is a summary of the proposed management actions. For recreation sites where multiple management options were identified, the management action code that results in the most significant changes was recorded. Additional details can be made available as requested. Most management option code categories include sub-activities that identify more specific actions, however to simplify this summary of proposed management actions, the “primary” management action code is used. The primary management action codes are as follows: Management Action Code A B C D E F G H I J K L NC Description Decommission Closure Change Season Remove or Eliminate Cost Source or Service Season Reduce Service Frequency Season Increase/Improve Services Construct a new Area Change Operator or Work Force Change Fees Change Capacity (PAOTS) Site Conversion Replacement/Repair No Change
Note: *Managed open/closed dates represent the dates that services and maintenance would occur. The site
may be open to the public without any services provided or it may be physically closed outside of the managed season.
