Meaningful Measures for Quality Recreation Management Sample Clauses

Meaningful Measures for Quality Recreation Management. The USDA-FS uses this management system to help determine costs related to national quality standards. The system relies on “predetermined and national quality standards to help ensure (1) cost-effective, responsive, and accountable delivery of high-quality recreation opportunities and (2) reasonable consistent, uniform, and similar types of opportunities (e.g., developed-site camping) across different locations” (Jaten and Driver 1998). The system includes a decision-making process that is responsive to changes in funding, priorities, and visitor preferences, as well as a set of national quality standards. The quality standards are grouped into five broad categories including health and cleanliness, resource setting, safety and security, responsiveness, and condition of facilities. Appendix A of the BLRP provides a list of the national quality standards associated with each of these broad categories.

Per SA 303, the redeveloped Xxxxx Lake Resort campground will meet the general design criteria of a Development Level 3 campground, which relates to a Rural ROS class. Per the Forest Service Manual 2300 – Recreation, Wilderness, and Related Resource Management (as referenced in Meaningful Measures), the level of site modification for a Development Level 3 or Rural ROS class developed recreation facility is defined as: “Site modification moderate. Facilities about equal for protection of natural site and comfort of users. Contemporary/rustic design of improvements is usually based on use of native materials. Inconspicuous vehicular traffic controls usually provided. Roads may be hard surfaced and trails formalized. Development density about 3 family units per acre. Primary access may be over high standard roads. Interpretive services informal, but generally direct.” (USDA-FS 2006) Specific to campgrounds, USDA-FS design guidance indicates that a campsite should include a picnic table, fire gri...
