In 2004, Congress passed the
Federal Lands Recreation
Enhancement Act, which
allows the Forest Service to
keep 95 percent of recreation
fees collected and use the funds
to operate, maintain and
improve these fee sites. Recent
recreation site investments on
the Siuslaw National Forest
that were made possible using
recreation fees include expan-
sion of the East Dunes
Campground,
wheelchair
accessible campsite upgrades at
Horsfall campground, new
sewer and restroom upgrades at
Horsfall Beach, and improved
sand access points at various
sites in the Oregon Dunes
National Recreation Area and
Sand Lake.
Forest Service staff plan to
be present the proposed fee
changes to a citizen advisory
committee for review later this
year. The public is welcome to
comment in writing and at all
advisory committee meetings.
The exact meeting times, loca-
tion, and agenda will be
announced on the forest web-
site at www.go.usa.gov/chuk9
and through local media.
Written comments on the
proposal should be mailed by
Sept. 15 to: Siuslaw National
Forest, ATTN: Recreation Fees,
3200 SW Jefferson Way,
Corvallis, OR 97331, or
emailed to SiuslawRecFee@fs.

tively slow, due to overall low
