Dear Reader:
Since I assumed my responsibifdies as state director for BlM in Oregon and Washington last July I have been il'Tllressed with whal
I have learned about the employees and how they manage the pub~c lands resources in the two states. Before you turn to Ihe lacts
portion 01 this publication. I would like to highlight some 01 the rrajor achievements 01 the last liscal year.
In western Oregon. 12 milflOn board feet of timber was harvested; 1.349 miUion board feet (MMBF) were offered fOf saJe. induding
45 MMBF which will be crooned in fiscal year 1987 and 98 MMBF make up volume in Medford to compensale lor sales protested
and appealed in fISCal year 1985.
Fourteen million seedling trees were planted to reforest 24,000 acres.
More than 1.410 volunteers oontriJuted 49,599 hours of work to BlM vaJued at $508,063.
BlM acquired approximalefy 2.824 acres of private land within the Steens Mountain Recreation lands in southeastern Oregon. .
About 2.064 acres were purchased lrom the Trusllor Puboo lands (TPl) using money appropriated by Congress lrom the land
and Water Conservation Fund; the rerra.ining 760 acres were -acquired through a land exchange with TPL
BlM atGuired approximalely 3.248 acres 01 land adjacenl to the John Day River in north central Oregon through a land exchange
with a private party. The land includes abut 5 lT1Iles of rjyer frontage and has (X)I'lsiderable vaJue for public recreation.
BLM transferred four parcels 01 land to State of Washington agencies fOf use by the pubrlC. The Recreation and Public Purposes
Ad. patents were issued to the Washington State Department of Game for two islands in Moses lake in central Washington to be
used for public hunting fishing areas, and t'NO patents were issued for lands in the San Juan Islands area to the Washington State
Parks ard Recreation Commission for pubnc parks purposes.
Under the President's Reform B8 program $799.000 in cost savings through efficiency initiatives and value anaJysis reviews were
identified.
A Prime 9955-11 corrputer was procured for Geographic Information System work. When installed the corrpJter, the largest within
BlM, will help develop the 1990's western Oregon resource management plans.
A BlM slate-wide data commmicalions nehYork was connected using the State of Qegon microwave facilities to reduce telephone
cost for data communications and irrprove access.
Under the five-year corrprehensive anadromous fish habitat enhancement plan for Oregon coastal rivers, eighteen habitat
irrprovement projects that wiD increase production of salmon and steelhead in CHet 18 miles d trb..rtary streams was completed.
Major construction included 783 instream structures (boulder berms. woody materiat, gabions, etc.), 69 rearing pools, 361 boulder
groupings and 22 side chan nets that wiD create 1.3 miles of new permanent habitat.
Eight intensive evaluations of archaeologicaJ sites were conducted to determine their scientific importance. including sites at Gerber
Reservoir. along the Urrpqua River. Yaquina Head and the footh~1s near Eugene.
Approximately t ,000 wild horses were gathered from public lands leaving an identified need to gather an adcfdionaJ 1.400 animals
in 1987 to maintain Oregon Oregon's Wild horse herds (18 in an) within presaibed management limits.
Over 14.000 acres of the 258,000 acres burned in wildland fires in eastern Oregon were seeded with a corrbination of crested
whealgrass and native species. Use of interdtsciplinary review teams ard adherence to BLM fX>6cy reduced the required lire
rehabilitation seed'ings from near 30 percent three years ago to this year's low of 5.4 percent while providing protection of soils to
maintain long term site productivity.
MineraJ investigations were conducted on 220,000 acres in Wilderness sludy areas in southeastern Oregon for use in determination
of wilderness suitability.
BlM worked closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to prepare a new mu~j...mi!lion dollar reclamation bond estimate for the Midnite
Uranium Mine on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington.
I would ~ke to thank

BLM in Oregon and Washington manages
about 16 million acres of public lands
(15.7 million acres and 300,000 respec­
tively) and has subsurface mineral
responsibilities for an additional 23.4
million acres in Oregon and about 16.5
million acres in Washington.
In relation to these resource management
programs,
BLM
in
Oregon
and
Washington conducts a variety of pro­
grams such as lands and mineral records,
cadastral survey, fire management, law
enforcement
and
construction
and
maintenance.
Natural resources managed by BLM on
forestland and rangeland include forest
products, livestock forage, minerals, soil,
water and air, wildlife habitat and wild
horses.
Uses administered include
recreation, mineral extraction, and realty
actions. BLM programs rrovide for
thedevelopment and use 0 the public
land and Its resources under. principles of
multiple use and sustained yield while
maintaining and enhancing the quality of
the environment.
BLM programs in Oregon are funded in
two
separate
appropriations
from
Congress, one for resource management
on Revested Oregon and California
Railroad lands (O&C) and Reconveyed
Coos Bay Wagon Road lands and the
other for public domain lands. Activities in
Washington are funded entirely for public
domain lands.
1
Administration This area covers such activities as
personnel management, budget prepa­
ration and analysis, pro,cur~ment, prop~rty
management,
organization
planning,
telecommunication, training, accounts and
safety.
BLM is responsible for both collecting and
paying out funds. BLM collects money
from many sources utilizing the public
Administration lands and deposits these monies in the
U.S. Treasury. In turn, monies are paid
out to Oregon and Washington, One
payment is paid to the states for their
share of receipts collected by BLM,
another is made directly to counties in lieu
of taxes. In western Oregon, the counties
also receive an additional payment from
O&C receipts,

An important aspect of our management
is that BlM returns a profit to the Federal
Treasury for the investment made in it by
our shareholders-the American taxpayer.
During fiscal year 1986 we reported
receipts
of
$162,538,548
against
expenses of $78,221,728. As always,
those receipts were shared with state,
county and local governments. A total of
$15,902,280 was distributed in Oregon
and Washington.
.
Collections, Classified by Commodity, FY 1986 - Oregon
Total collections from all BlM resource
management activities are several times
more than total costs of management.
Principal. sources of revenue include
timber sales, mineral lease fees and
grazing fees.

Revenue Sharing
Total collections from all BlM resource
management activities are several times
more than total costs of management.
Principal sources of revenue include
timber sales, mineral lease fees and
grazing fees.
Since federal lands are not taxed, various
laws provide for payments to reimburse
states and counties for the services they
provide that benefit the Federal govern­
ment. Some payments in lieu of taxes are
based on acreages of federal land and
shares received from resource revenues.
from management of the resources of the
revested Oregon and California Railroad
grant lands in western Oregon goes to the
counties where the lands are located. On
the other hand, 50 percent of most
grazing fee receipts is used for range
Improvements by BlM, with 12.5 percent
?lvailable for states to use for range
Improvements.

Proportions of collections from resource
management that are shared with the
states and counties vary from 4 percent to
90 percent, with the balance usually going
to the general fund of the U.S. Treasury.

O&C Forestland
BLM
forestlands
in
Oregon
and
Washington are administered under two
management programs. One is for the
administration of O&C lands in western
Oregon; the other for public domain lands
which are mostly in eastern Oregon and
Washington.
The primary objectives of the O&C
program are to manage for a high level
and sustained yield output of wood
products needed to contribute to the eco­
nomic stability of the local communities
and industries, and to provide for other
12
land uses, such as wildlife habitat and
recreation, including hunting and fishing.
On public domain lands, the Federal Land
Policy Act of 1976 requires public lands
and resources to be managed under the
principles of multiple use and sustained
yield, without permanent impairment of
the productivity of the land and the quality
of the environment, and with recognition
of the Nation's need for timber from the
public lands.

requirements for wildlife and livestock.
This protects the environment for all uses.
To accomplish this, excess wild horses

BlM Rangeland, Vale District
BLM in Oregon and Washington manages
land grazed by livestock under permits
and leases. Ranchers pay grazing fees for
the privilege of using BLM rangelands.
Rangeland uses are based on resource
management plans which consider all
resource values and establish priorities.
The plans help identify the grazing
allotments where investments in manage­
ment will result in the greatest returns.
Various types of range improvements
facilitate livestock management, increase
the productivity of the land, and protect
environmental quality. These include
developing water sources for livestock
and wildlife; constructing fences, cattle­
guards, and roads; rotating the use of
pastures to promote healthy forage
growth; controlling brush; and revegeta­
ting burned or depleted areas.

Nearly all BLM-managed lands provide
habitat for a diversity of fish and wildlife
in
developing
species.
Therefore,
resource management plans it is
necessary to recognize fish and wildlife
needs in achieving a suitable balance
among the various land uses. Special
attention also is given to the habitats of
endangered or threatened and migratory
species.

BLM cooperates closely with state wildlife
management agencies in improving habi­
tat conditions, restoring animal popula­
tions, providing forage and water, and
managing habitats to attain appropriate
wildlife populations levels. BLM also
welcomes the cooperation of wildlife
groups, sports clubs,
and
others
interested in wildlife habitat management.

BLM is responsible for administering
minerals management laws on all Federal
lands and also on other lands where
mineral rights have been retained by the
United States. BLM also assists the Bureau
of Indian Affairs in supervising minerals
management on Indian lands. BLM issues
mineral leases, regulates exploration and
production, maintains records of mining
claims and administers sales of common
minerals. Operators' plans are reviewed to
ensure conservation of mineral resources
and protection of other resource values.
Operations and rehabilitation of mined and
drilled areas are monitored.
The minerals and energy resource
management programs continue to gain
visibility in Oregon and Washington. BLM
is res'ponsible for approximately 56 million
acres of Federal minerals in the two states.
Of that acreage, about 6.9 million acres are
currently leased for oil and gas, 620,000
for geothermal resourCes and 5,700 acres
for coal. Approximately 82,600 mining
claims have been filed for hard rock
minerals such as gold and silver, of these
55,300 are active.

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has
responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This
includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish
and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and
historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The
Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their
development is in the best interest of all our people. The Department also has a major
responsibility for American Indian reservation communities for people who live in Island
Territories under U.S. administration.
