PART 295--USE OF MOTOR VEHICLES OFF FOREST SERVICE ROADS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 295.5  Monitoring effects of vehicle use off National Forest System roads.

    The effects of use by specific types of vehicles off roads on 
National Forest System lands will be monitored. If the results of 
monitoring, including public input, indicate that the use of one or more 
vehicle types off roads is causing or will cause considerable adverse 
effects on the factors and resource values referred to in Sec. 295.2, 
the area or trail suffering adverse effects will be immediately closed 
to the responsible vehicle type or types until the adverse effects have 
been eliminated and measures have been implemented to prevent future 
recurrence as provided in 36 CFR part 261. Forest Supervisors may 
delegate immediate closure authority to District Rangers or other forest 
officers in order to facilitate timely actions to meet these objectives. 
Designations, use restrictions, and operating conditions will be revised 
as needed to meet changing conditions.
