Dear Reader:
In 1987, 1heBLM in Washington and Oregon faced one of bsbiggeslchallenges-masslvewildfireactivilyon1hepublicland. Fueflgh1ers
from aaoss the nationcameto this stateto help save lIves,resources, andproperty. Inthetwo_es, 133 human-caused flresbumed
more than 17,500 acres, whDe 401lightning-caused fires burned more than 58,500 aa8S. Although ourresources were hi! hand and
stretched almost to their 6mi1s, our em>loyees have been able to hep the land start i1s slow trip back.
But lire was not the only big event In tho past year. Before you lurn to 1helacts portion of this publication. I hope you wID take the time
to nete some of the major achievements of Iiscal year 1987 listed below.
In June, the Oregon·Washington Riparian Enhancement PIan.was issued. This plan set goals and objedives for the management of
riparian areas on 656 miles of BureatJ·admlnistered streams In the two states. As a part of this plan, each Oistrlc:l established one or
more riparian demonstration areas 1 to show the public and various Interest groups how successful riparian management can be In
diverse environments.
This past year, 1489 volunteers contributed 98,964 hours 01_ to BUA valued at more than $930,000.

were cred~ed in fiscal year 1987 in Medlord to compensate lor sales protested and appealed in fiscal year 1985. Also in FY 1987,
13,604,000 seedling trees were planted to reforest 27,746 acres.
In Oregon, BlM acquired approximately 4,694 acres 01 prlvateiand ~in the Steens Mountain Recrealion Area and about 805 acres
of private land within the Owyhee Wild and Scenic River boundary. Both purchases wel8 lrom the Trust for Public Lands and funded
through the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Approximately 156 acres were acquired in the State of Washington for riparian habitat through the Challenge Grant Program. An
addttional279 acres were acquired within the Juniper Dunes WUdemess SIudy Area In Washington.
Undorthe President's produaiWy Improvement Program this past year, a review of 1heWestem Onegon Road Maintenance Program
was compIetedresutting In an 8% r&dualon in the workforce and a$39O,OOOsaving In heavy equprnant lnvestrnenL In fIScal year 1987,
only t3% of road maintenance expenditures went lor federal employee salaries. The remainder was expended through 1he private
sector.
During fIScal t 987, nine Intensive evaluatlcns 01 archaeological ales _re conduaed to determine 1helr scientific iJT1>ortance. These
evaluations Included s~... at Gerber Reservoir, along the U"l>'!ua River, In Warner VaUey, and In 1he foothlUs near Eugene.
Approximately 900 horses were gathered fnom public lands in fiscal 1987. This brings Oregon and Washington to within less than 10%
of their estabfished management 6mi1s-one of 1he fllst Western States to reach this goal.
As State Director, I ampro_ud of these acoompIishments and 1he role our errpIoyees, volunteers, and ather members of the public have
played In he~lng us maintain our public lands. Most of aI~ though, I look forward to the challenges of the coming year.

Introduction
'V)i:
Big Indian Gorge, Steens Mountain, Bums District
BLM in Oregon and Washington manages
about 16 million acres of public lands (15.7
million acres and 300,000 respectively) and
has subsurface mineral responsibilities for
an additional 23.4 million acres in Oregon
and about 16.5 million acres in Washington.
",\
.iJ
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 provide for the development
and use of the public land and its resources
under principles of multiple use and sustained yield while maintaining and enhanc-
ing the quality of the environment.
In relation to these resource management
programs, BLM in Oregon and Washington
conducts a variety of programs such as
lands and mineral records, cadastral survey, fire management, law enforcement
and construction and maintenance.
BLM programs in Oregon 'are funded in two
separate appropriations from Congress,
oneforresource 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 preparation and
analysis, procurement, property 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 lands and
Administration
deposits these monies inthe U.S. Treasury.
In turn, monies are paid out to Oregon and
Washington. One payment is paid to the
states fort heir 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 BLM administration
is that BlM returns a prom to the Federal
Treasury for the investment made in it by its
shareholders-the American taxpayer. During fiscal year 1987 we reported receipts of
$154,290,184
against expenses of
$82,043,283. As always, those receipts
were shared with state, county and local
Collections, Classified by Commodity, FY 1987- Oregon
governments. A total of $78,675,755 was
distributed in Oregon and Washington.
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.

BLM forestlands in Oregon and Washington are administered under two manage'!lent programs. One is for the administration of O&C la.nds in v,:estern Oregon; the
other for pubbc 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
contnbute to t~~ econo'!lic stability of the
Ioca~ communflles and Industries, and to
proVide for other land uses, such as Wildlife
12
habitat and recreation, including hunting
and fishing.
On public domain lands, the Federal Land
Policy Act of 1976 requires public lands and
r~sources to ~ managed under the prinCiples of multiple use and sustained yield
with?~ permanent impairment of the pro:
dUC!lvity of the land and the quality of the
en~ro~ment, and with recognition of the
Nation s need for timber from the public
lands.

The goal is to maintain wild horse population levels in balance with the carrying
capacity ofthe land and with habitat require~
ments for wildlife and livestock. This protects the environment for all uses. To accomplish this, excess wild horses are periodically rounded up and made available for
adoption.
Wild Horse Management
Spokane
Total
Comprehensive herd management area
plans have been developed for wild horse
management areas. Such plans describe
range conditions, consider present and
planned population levels, specify how water
and forage are to be made available, and
determine what measures will be taken to
provide for other uses.

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 management will result in
the greatest returns.

Various types of range improvements facilitate li~estock management, increase the
productivityof 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 revegetating burned or depleted
areas.

BLM cooperates closely with state wildlife
management agencies in improving habitat conditions, restoring animal populations,
providing forage and water, and managing
hab~ats to attain appropriate wildlife populations levels. BLM also welcomes the
cooperation of wildlife groups, sports clubs,

management.

Nearly all BLM-managed lands provide
habitat for a diversity of fish and wildlife
species. Therefore, in developing 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.
