Dear Reader:
Riparian management and watershed enhancement were major projects In Oregon and Washington in 1988. The Bureau"s efforts
to improve the banks of the streams and rivers within our jurisdiction met with great success.
This past year, livestock industry leaders initiated a program of positive support for riparian system restoration and management by
forming a coalition with environmental and conservation organizations to assist BlM area managers in irJl)lementing riparian
program objectives on public lands in both the Vale and Burns Districts. SigniUcant progress was also made toward implementing
tho OregonMashington Ripar~n Enhancement Plan. induding the initiation of 86 new projeds and the maintenance of 48 existing
prOtects.
A land exchange involving 14,807 acres of state·owned land and 12.784 acres of Federal land concluded a 16·year program
between the Oregon Division of State Lands and BLM to consolidale land ownership In eastern Oregon. Operating under a 1972
Memorandum of Understanding. the two agencies exchanged over 783.000 acres In eight separate transactions.
In the wilderness program. the Spokane and Salem Districts were active in irJl)lemanting management plans for the Juniper Dunes
and Tabkt Rock. Wilderness Areas. The Spokane District worked with volunteers to remove segments of old fenCing from Juniper
DUnes using a horse·drawn wagon. Salem developed a plan using the -limits of acceptable change- approach designed to
minimize impads from human use to the wilderness values of the Table Rock Wilderness.
,
) , recreation. we implemented several projects in partnershp with private interests to provide increased opportunny on public lands
for the recre.nion visitor. For BLM·adminlstered lands in Oregon and Washington. we corrpleted a recreation slrategy tied to both
the Presidents "Commission on Americans Outdoors" report and the Bureau's "Recreation 2000" report.
Archaeological looting has long been a prcblem on public lands. In 1988, we cOrJl)ieted two joint proiects with universities aimed a1
salvaging information from sites which have long been the targel of looters. This pasl year we finished Ihe the third and final year 01
archaeological excavations and inventories in the Gerber ReseNoir/Lost River area of south-<:entral Oregon - a ioint project with
the University of Oregon. We also corJl)leted the second year of excavations and surveys in the Warner Potholes area of south­
central Oregon - a joint project with the University of Nevada-Reno. fn a Joint BLM·Forest Service project. a felony conviction was
handed down to a person who Hlegally collected and excavated artifacts in central Oregon.
Our hazardous materials program continued 10 deal with approximately 15-20 lncidents annuahy. ranging from relatively minor
diasel oil spills to costly clandestine drug lab cleanups on public lands. In 1988, federal agents from the Bureau eradicated more
than 8.400 cannabis plants on the pubfic lands.
Our minerals program processed some 11.711 mining claim reoordations. 32.350 assessments, and 207 daim development
notices and plans of operalion; adminis1ered 1.147 mineral leases; disposed of through sale, free use or for tirrber management.
over $1.5 million of mineral ma.terials: and approved the drilling of a deep gas exploration test weI! in central Washington. The
minerals program took an active rola in making the pubUc aware of the goothermal potential on public lands and of the irr1Jortance
01 public domain mineral materials 10 local economies in Oregon and Washington.
As Slate Director. I am proud of thasa and the other accorTlllishments which our erTllloyaas and volunteers have completed with
the help of other agencies and you. our public. look forward to the challenges of the coming year and the opportunity to share
these lands with you again.
Sincerely.

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.

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 recrea­
tion, mineral extraction, and realty actions.
. BLM programs provide for the development
./ )nd use of the public land and its resources
~nder principles of multiple use and sus­
. ;tained 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 sur­
vey, fire management, law enforcement
and construction and maintenance.
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 .

BlM is responsible for both collecting and
paying out funds. BlM collects money from
many sources utilizing the public lands and
deposits these monies in the U.S. Treasury " ' )
In turn, monies are paid out to Oregon and f "
Washington, One payment is paid to the states for their s hare of receipts collected by
BlM, another is made directly to counties in
lieu of taxes. In western Oregon, the coun­
ties also receive an additional payment
from O&C receipts,

54 Administration
An important aspect of BLM administration
is that BLM returns a profit to the Federal
Treasury for the investment made in it by its
shareholders-the American taxpayer. Dur­
ing fiscal year 1988 BLM reported receipts
of $242,100,823
against expenses of
$97,532,713 As always, those receipts
were shared with state, county and local
governments. A total of $75,249,269 was
distributed in Oregon and Washington.

Revenue Sharing
Total collections from all BlM resource
management activities are several times
more than total costs of management.
Principal sources of revenue include tim­
ber sales, mineral lease fees and grazing
fees.
Volunteers from Scout Troop 23, the Roaring Rogue District, construct wire gablons to
stabilize a slope at the Rogue River's Grave Creek Boat Ramp.
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
·'lent. Some payments in lieu of taxes are
1< ased on acreages of federal land and
, shares received from resource revenues.
Proportions of collections from resource man­
agement 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. For example, 50
percent of collections 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
available for states to use for range improve­
ments.

BLM forestlands in Oregon and Washing­
ton are administered under two manage­
ment programs. One is for the administra·
tion of O&C lands in western Oregon; the
other for public domain lands which are
mostly in eastern Oregon and Washington.
The objectives of the O&C program are to
manage for a high level and sustained yield
output of wood products needed to contrib·
ute to the economic stability of the local
communities and induslries, and to provide
for other land uses, such as wildlife habitat
12
and recreation, including hunting and fish·
ing.
On public domain lands, the Federal Land
Policy Act of 1976 requires public lands and
resources to be managed under the prin'
ciples of multiple use and sustained yield,
without permanent impairment of the pro­
ductivity of the land and the quality of the
environment, and with recognition of the
Nation's need for timber from the public
lands.

The goal is to maintain wild horse popu­
lation levels in balance with the carrying
capacityofthe land and with habitat require­
ments for wildlife and livestock. This pro­
tects the environment for all uses. To ac­
complish this, excess wild horses are peri­
odically rounded up and made available for
adoption.
Wild Horse Management
Totals
Spokane
District
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 howwater
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 g razed by livestock under permits and
leases. Ranchers pay grazing fees for the
privilege of using BLM rangelands. Range­
land uses are based on resource manage­
ment plans which consider all resource
values and establish priorities. The plans
help identffy the grazing allotments where
investments in management will result in
the greatest returns.
Various types of range improvements facili­
tate livestock management, increase the
productivity of the land, and protect environ­
mental quality. These include developing
water sources for livestock and wildlife;
constructing fences, cattle guards, and roads; rotating the use of pastures to pro­
mote healthy forage growth; controlling
brush; and revegetating burned or depleted
areas. Grazing use totals during grazing fee year 1986 were:

Nearly all BLM-managed lands provide
habitat for a diversity of fish and wildlife

managem ent plans it is necessary to recog­
nize fish and wildlife needs in achieving a
suitable balance among the various land
