Dear Reader:
Before you turn to the lacts portion 01 this publication, I would like to share with you some 01 BLMs major
achievements of the 1990 fiscal year in Oregon and Washington.
In continuation of a program designed to increase efficiency of public land management and optimize the
utilization, conservation, and protection 01 resources, seven land exchanges involving over 26, 500 acres of
Federal and private lands were consummated in FY 1990.
Three major archaeological projects were active in the Lakeview District this past summer - excavations in
Warner Valley and Christmas Lake Valley, and a new paleontological project at Fossil Lake. In addition,
archaeologists have been working to relocate historic mining structures in the Baker Resource Area, moving
them to the new Flagstaff Hill Oregon Trail interpretive. site.
Management plans in conjunction with the Omnibus Ore90n Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, including 15 rivers
under the jurisdiction 01 BLM , are proceeding according to schedule. In fiscal year 1990, the primary river
planning effort was directed toward the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River in accordance with a lonnal
agreement with the state 01 Oregon.
A.
Two new areas witih impressive geothennal potential became available lor leasin9 under Federal mineral laws.
The Army has agreed to leasing within the Yakima Firing Center in Washington, an area whose geologic strata
is thought to contain large deposits 01 hydrocarbons. Legislation creating the Newberry National Volcanic
Monument a1tows, for the first time, geothennalleasing in an area regarded as having the best potential in the
Northwest lor development 01 geothermal resources as a source 01 electricity. Leasing in these areas will begin
within the year.
Law enlorcement officers from the BLM and state and local agencies seized 6,205 marijuana plants lrom 159
gardens on BLM lands in Oregon and Washington in 1990. This crop would have had a street value 01 $302
million.
During the past fiscal year, we offered 1.169 billion board leet 01 timber lor sale. This volume, combined with
the FY 1989 offerings, amounted to 14 million board leet more tihan the two year target 01 1.9 billion board leet.
Timber harvest totalled 944 million board feet and this timber brought in more than $187 million in receipts. Half,
or some $93.5 million, was shared with the 18 western Oregon counties.
Though laced with the challenges 01 a lack 01 lead time lor sale preparation and the additional requirements 01
working those sales through the consultation process required lor the Endangered Species Act, BLM still
mana9ed to get the job done. I am proud 01 the lact that we were on target, on budget, and on time.
On our lorest lands, we planted more than 19.2 million seedlings on 38,905 acres, exceeding the FY 1989
record. The planting effort equates to a strip one mile wide and over sixty miles long.
Also in 1990, we welcomed more than 3,931 volunteers to projects on the public lands. These dedicated people
contributed some 127,630 work hours at a value 01 more than $1,614,997 million.
I am proud 01 these and the other accomplishments which you will find listed in this book. The credit lor the work
goes to both our employees and to the many citizens who contributed in some way, great Or small, to the
stewardship 01 the public lands 01 Oregon and Washington.

8lM manages about 16 million acres of lands in Oregon and Washington (some.
15.7 million acres and 312,000 acres respectively). It has subsurface mineral responsi­
bilities 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 vegeta­
tion, minerals, soil, water and air, wildlife habitat and wild horses. Uses administered
include timber harvest, livestock foraging, recreational activities, mineral extraction, and
realty actions.
BlM policies provide for the development and use of the public lands and their
resources under principles of multiple use and sustained yield, while maintaining and
enhancing the quality of the environment. In recent years, 8lM has given increased
emphasis to non-commodity aspects of its land stewardship. Such considerations as
archaeology, botany, anadromous fish habitat, wilderness, and other noncommercial
values are receiving increased funding and attention.
To support these resource management programs, 8lM in Oregon and Washington
operates a variety of programs such as lands and mineral records management,
cadastral survey, fire management, law enforcement, and construction and mainte­
nance.
8lM programs in Oregon are funded in two separate appropriations from Congress
- one lor resource management on Revesled Oregon and California Railroad lands
(O&C) and reconveyed Coos 8ay Wagon Road lands, and the other lor public domain
lands. Activities in Washington are funded entirely with appropriations for public domain
lands.

Financial Although in recent years BlM has increased the attention it gives to ,non-com mod­
ity aspects of the lands it manages, the agency has had a traditional role, reaching
back to post-Revolutionary War days, of bringing revenues into the Federal treasury.
Although its results have been long surpassed by the Internal Revenue Service, the
BlM continues to pay its own way, and then some.
BlM has been charging users of the public lands for many decades; however, not
until 1976, with the passage of the Federal land Policy Act, was the principle of
obtaining fair market value for resources used firm Iy established. Principal sources of
revenue include timber sales, mineral lease fees and grazing fees.
Each year, BlM returns a profit to the Federal Treasury for the investment made by
its shareholders - American taxpayers. During fiscal year 1990 BlM in Oregon and
Washington reported receipts of $232,041,018 against expenses of $112,384,504.
As always, those receipts were shared with state, county and local governments. A
total of $211,071,471 was distributed in Oregon and Washington. 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 government: Some payments in lieu
of taxes are based on acreages of federal land and shares received from resource
revenues.
Proportions of collections from resource management that are shared with the
states and counties vary from four 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 improvements.

An employee cultivates seedling beds at the D.l Phipps Forest Tree Nursery In
Elkton, a State of Oregon nursery at which BlM grows more than 30 percent of
trees used in reforestation efforts.
BLM forest lands in Oregon and Washington are administered under two management programs. One is for the 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 contribute to the economic stability of the local
communities and industries, and to provide for other land uses, such as wildlife habitat
and recreation, induding 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.

Rangelands
~~ ~ ~
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 oiher uses.
The goal is to maintain wild horse population leveis in balance with ihe carrying
capacity of the land and with habitat requirements for wildlife and livestock. This
protects the environment for all uses. BLM in Oregon has been at target leveis for more
than iwo years. Efforts are now being aimed at herd improvement activities.

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 resuh in the greatest returns.
Various types of range improvements facilitate livestodc 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 vegetation growth; controlling brush;
and revegetating burned or depleted areas.

Livestock Grazing
Grazing use is tabulated for fiscal year 1990. Grazing fees for all BLM lands was $1.86
per AUM from October 1, 1989 through February 28, 1990 and $1.81 per A{jM from
March 1, 1990 through September 30, 1990.

VlsHors can view this herd of nearly 100 Roosevelt elk at the O.H.
Hinsdale Elk Viewing Area near Dean Creek.
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.
BlM cooperates closely with state wildlife management agencies in improving
habitat conditions, restoring animal popUlations, 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.

Fishing Is just one of many recreation activities enjoyed on BLM lands.
i
(-t
Diversity prevails in outdoor recreation on the lands managed by BLM. Most popular
of ail is enjoying the scenery of the wide open spaces, while other activities include
picnicking, camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, horseback riding,
rockhounding, studying nature and taking photographs.
BLM provides recreation sites with picnicking and camping facilities in many popular
locations, while natural conditions are preserved in wilderness areas. In between, there
is plenty of room to roam while enjoying recreational pursuits. Fees are required at
certain recreation sites, competitive events, and for commercial activities.

Back County Byways
,
In FY 1990, rehabilitation measures were begun on the Riddle Brothers Historic
Ranch District in the Steens Mountain area of the Burns District. The recently
acquired facility is destined to become part of the Steens Mountaini Interpretive
developments. In addition, an exhibit on the Yaquina Head Archaeological Site was
constructed and installed for the Oregon State Fair. It will remain for the 1991 fair as
well. A formal working partnership with the High Desert Museum of central Oregon
was established this year, laying the groundwork for future interpretive displays at that
facility. The OregonlWashington BLM cultural Resource publication series has
produced five volumes describing both historic and prehistoric cultural resource
investigations carried out on public lands throughout the region, Topics to date
include Yaquina Head, the Umpqua River basin, the Trout Creek Mountain area of
southeast Oregon, and Prineville District's central Oregon area.
In 1989, BLM designated 11 National Back County Byways in ?~egon. The
byway program responds to the public demand for pleasur~ dnvm.g
..
opportunities, while enhancing recreation experiences and Informmg VISitors
about public land resources.

BLM is completing a 15-year study of roadless areas set in motion by the 1976
Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Wilderness Study Areas (WSA's) have
been studied through a land use planning process, and final recommendations on each
regarding their suitability for wilderness area designation and addition to the National
Wilderness Preservation System are being developed. Final recommendations on
each of the 88 WSA's in Oregon and Washington will be transmitted to the Secretary of
Interior in 1991. Preliminary recommendations were issued in 1990 in the Final
Oregon Wilderness Environmental Impact Statement and related documents and
totaled 1.3 million acres suitable for wilderness designation and 1.5 million acres not
suitable for designation. Final decisions on each area will be made by Congress via
legislation. Wilderness values in all WSA's are protected by BLM until final decisions
are rendered by Congress.

Through the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, Congress
mandated that the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land
Managment, must review certain land withdrawals of all Federal lands to
determine whether the withdrawals are still justified, and to what extent the
lands involved can be opened for multiple use. Land classifications are
also being reviewed in this effort. Oregon and Washington have
approximately 25 percent of the 6,000 land withdrawals subject to review
nationwide.

The law Enforcement office has two sections: the Resource
Investigations and Patrol Operations Section and the Drug Enforcement
Section. Uniformed Rangers work in Districts and Resource Areas
performing patrol activities and law enforcement services on BlM
administered lands. The Special Agents, who work out of the state
office, conduct investigations covering a full range of violations which
include timber theft, drug crimes, thefts of BlM property, assaults on
employees, theft of archaeological resources, occupancy trespass,
destruction of BlM property, and investigations of all other crimes which
affect the administration of the Bureau of land Management.
BlM's Agents and Rangers work closely with their State and Federal
counterparts, taking part in drug task forces on public lands, jOint timber
investigations, as well a~ taking part in many local and state level law
enforcement associations, meetings on crime prevention, and criminal
information sharing.

warnings and citations issued is due to the fact that many violations are
observed after the fact, with no violator present.
