Temporary Road Closure at BLM’s North Bank Habitat
Management Area
Roseburg, OR – Restoration and maintenance work is planned throughout the summer
months for the Bureau of Land Management’s North Bank Habitat Management Area, north
west of Glide. Through an assistance agreement with the BLM, the Partnership for
Umpqua Rivers will be replacing the Jackson Creek culvert located on the Powerline Road
(26-4-4.8). The culvert is being replaced to improve fish passage on the east fork of
Jackson Creek. This work will be on-going throughout the summer until September 1,
2010.
The Powerline Road will be closed during this time. In addition, Pacific Power will be in
the area working on power lines this summer and fall. No road closures are anticipated
from that work. For more information contact Chip Clough at (541) 440-4930

The BLM manages more land – more than 245 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known
as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau,
with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the
nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use
and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as
outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural,
historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
