many
people's
thoughts turn to their favorite
form of winter recreation,
snowmobiling. But it's not yet

or Walla Walla Ranger Districts
of the Umatilla National Forest.
"Our primary concern this
time of year is public safety and
minimizing user conflicts," said
Umatilla National Forest law
enforcement officer Bob Wolfe.
Under state law, roads cannot
be used by mixed traffic of over
snow vehicles and highway
vehicles as long as the roads
remain open and passable to
highway vehicles.
Most of the Ranger District
roads are not passable to
highway vehicles after Dec. 1, so
the District Access and Travel
Management Plan and Forest
Road Orders identify that as the
date that many roads close to
highway vehicles and are
designated as snowmobile routes.
"Up until December 1, we
have elk hunters, commercial
users and those cutting Christmas
trees still using most of our
roads, so we have real safety
concerns when we have early
snow ." said Wolfe.

Chris Brown, state of Oregon
Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP)
manager, has released the results
of a CSEPP community survey.
The survey indicates that
residents living closest to the
Umatilla Chemical Depot need to
be better prepared for a chemical
accident.
The survey, the second in a
series of three surveys to be
conducted
by
Moore
Information, a Portland, polling
firm, confirmed an earlier survey
in June 2000 which revealed that
24 percent of the population did
not know what to do if they were
warned of a chemical emergency
at the depot.
The latest survey taken in the
last week of October show ed that
77 percent agree (45 percent
strongly agree) that they know
what to do. but 23 percent still do
not, and that 37 percent said they
did not know what to do and/or
would do the wrong thing if they

In addition, cross-country
snowmobile travel is only
permitted over snow after Dec. 1,
mainly to minimize wildlife
conflicts and conflicts with
hunters
"There is nothing more
frustrating to a hunter than to
stalk elk after a snowfall only to
have them scared off by passing
snowmobiles, and, when this
happens, we certainly hear about
it." said Wolfe. Late elk season
generally ends by the end of
November.
The districts are asking for the
public's cooperation in respecting
designated closures and for
anxious winter recreationists to
patiently await Dec. 1 before
snowmobiling on the National
Forest.
heard a siren alert.
On sheltering in place vs.
evacuating, 52 percent of the
residents said they would shelter,
but 38 percent said they would
evacuate. As to who has shelter
kits? Adults 18-34 are less likely
to have shelter kits than older
residents (66 percent versus 85
percent). Hispanics are less likely
to be kit owners than are
Caucasians (55 percent versus 84
percent).
"Some shelter kits were being
distributed at the time of the
survey, so these figures may
appear lower than they really
are." according to a CSEPP news
release.
The surveys are being taken
during and following a media
campaign that seeks to boost
public knowledge about what
actions should be taken in case of
a chemical emergency. Brown
said that a third survey is to be
completed in late December,
which will mark the end of the
six month media campaign.
