Public fire restrictions now in effect in Siuslaw National Forest C O R VA L L I S — E v e n with the recent moisture, the trend of increasingly hot and dry weather has resulted in hazardous fire conditions on the Siuslaw National Forest. In an effort to prevent human-caused wildland fires and to promote fire awareness, US Forest Ser- vice officials have insti- tuted some public use fire restrictions across all ar- eas of the Siuslaw National Forest. Prohibitions include: • Campfires not con- tained within a pre-in- stalled fire enclosure at an official developed camp- site. This excludes camp- fires within designated sand camping areas on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and dis- persed camping within the Sand Lake Recreation Area. • Welding or operating a torch with an open flame. • Operating generators in areas of vegetation. • Using a vehicle off US Forest Service roads, ex- cept when parking in an area devoid of vegetation for 10 feet. This excludes recreation on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and the Sand Lake Recreation Area. • Smoking outdoors in close proximity to flamma- ble materials or vegetation. Visitors may use porta- ble cooking stoves and fuel lanterns with off switches when recreating outside of COVID-19 Relief available for Oregon fishing businesses SALEM—Oregon’s appli- cation period for potential assistance for COVID-19 impacts to fishing-related businesses is now open and extends through Sept. 8, 2020. Background information, eligibility requirements and application materials can be found on the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Com- mission (PSMFC) website www.psmfc.org. All applications must be completed, signed and mailed to the PSMFC with a postmark no later than the Sept. 8, 2020 deadline. Fishing businesses are a vital part of Oregon’s eco- nomic and cultural health, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic have taken a serious toll on these businesses and the commu- nities they support. “Marine and anadromous fisheries are vital to the eco- nomic and cultural health of the state. We know busi- nesses on the front lines of these fisheries are hurting, and we hope these feder- al and state funds will help provide emergency relief for some of the pandemic’s impacts this past spring. We encourage all eligible fishery businesses to apply,” says Ed Bowles, ODFW Fish Division Administrator. Consistent with Section 12005 of the federal CARES Act, NOAA Fisheries allo- cated nearly $16M to eligi- ble Oregon businesses par- ticipating in marine and/ or anadromous fisheries. ODFW developed a spend plan for eligibility and claim requirements consistent with the CARES Act after extensive input from the fishing industry. NOAA re- cently approved the Spend Plan, which allows the ap- plication period to begin. In recognition by coast- al legislators and other state leaders that these fed- eral funds would be un- likely to address all of the COVID-19 impacts to Or- egon’s fisheries industry, an additional $2.5 million of state CARES Act relief funds were distributed by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services to PSMFC for support. PSMFC will distribute the funds as supplemental pay- ments to recipients of the federal CARES Act funds. PSMFC disbursements could begin in September 2020. developed camping areas.
