Area

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Establishment of temporary vehicle use restriction in the Kelso 
Creek and Isabella Management Areas within Kern County in the Caliente 
Resource Area, Bakersfield District, California.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This emergency action restricts vehicle use on BLM-
administered public land in the Isabella Management Area due top trash 
dumping and erosion problems and restricts vehicle use on BLM-
administered public lands in the Kelso Creek Management Area due to 
severe vandalism of range developments. Both areas will be addressed on 
a permanent basis in a Resource Management Plan. Vehicle use on 
roadways is restricted to ``Administrative Access Only'' and shall be 
limited to persons specifically designated by the Area Manager to drive 
on said roadways. The public lands over which these roads travel and 
located in portions of NW\1/4\ Section 12, Township 27 South, Range 32 
East; SE\1/4\ Section 29 and SW\1/4\ Section 28, Township 26 South, 
Range 35 East; N\1/2\ Section 4 and N\1/2\ Section 9, Township 27 
South, Range 35 East, all Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, in the County 
of Kern, State of California. This restriction will apply from the date 
of publication in the Federal Register and remain in effect until an 
amendment thereof or until publication of a Resource Management Plan 
which adequately addresses public access on these lands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This emergency road closure is intended to 
control vehicle use on public lands for protection of range 
developments, to prevent further trash dumping, and to abate erosion on 
sensitive hillsides. Authority for this restriction order is contained 
in CFR Title 43, Chapter II, 8364.1(a).

DATES: This order will be effective on March 15, 1995.
