S.Amdt. 4531

This amendment, submitted by Mr. Wyden, aims to add a section to bill S. 1383 to create two new recreation areas in Oregon: the Rogue Canyon Recreation Area (approximately 98,150 acres) and the Molalla Recreation Area (approximately 29,884 acres).

The purpose of these designations is to protect, conserve, and enhance the following values:

• Recreational
• Ecological
• Scenic
• Cultural
• Watershed
• Fish and wildlife

The Secretary of the Interior would manage these areas and is required to:

• Create official maps and legal descriptions for public inspection.
• Conduct a wildfire risk assessment and develop a wildfire mitigation plan that includes vegetation management and evacuation routes.
• Limit the construction of new roads, except for public safety or specific wildfire mitigation needs.
• Withdraw the land from mining, mineral leasing, and other forms of entry or disposal.
