§539s Frank and Jeanne Moore Wild Steelhead Special Management Area

Summary

About 99,653 acres of Forest Service land in Oregon are set aside and named the Frank and Jeanne Moore Wild Steelhead Special Management Area to honor Frank Moore’s life, wartime service at Normandy, long work as an Oregon angler and innkeeper, and his conservation efforts and awards. The map used to show the area is dated June 23, 2016. Key terms: Map — the June 23, 2016 map for the area. Secretary — the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Forest Service Chief. Special Management Area — the named protected area. State — Oregon. As soon as practical after March 12, 2019, the Secretary must make an official map and legal description. That map will be legally binding (with clerical fixes allowed) and available for public inspection. Except for valid existing rights, the Secretary will manage the area under National Forest laws to protect its natural, scientific, fish and wildlife, scenic, drinking-water, and recreational values, and to maintain and improve wild salmonid habitat and watershed thermal refuge. State fish and wildlife authority and tribal treaty rights are not reduced. The law does not create a surrounding buffer or change travel plans. Wildfire and vegetation work are allowed if they fit the area’s purposes. Federal land inside the area is closed to new public land claims, new mining claims, and new mineral or geothermal leasing or mineral material disposals, subject to valid existing rights.
