Abstract:
Announces decision to implement Alternative 2 of the project EA, amending the Deschutes National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) to incorporate management direction changes. Changes emphasis on monitoring of trends through specific indicators rather than imposing restrictions now, and if acceptable levels of use patterns and impacts are exceeded, use restrictions may be applied later.

Big Marsh Creek and the upper reaches of the Little Deschutes River are located approximately 60 miles
south of Bend, Oregon, and approximately 12 to 14 miles southwest of Crescent, Oregon, in Klamath
County. They both have headwaters in the high east slopes of the Cascade Mountains. (See Figure 1,
vicinity map.) Big Marsh Creek runs into Crescent Creek, which eventually joins with the Little
Deschutes River north of Crescent, Oregon. The entire Little Deschutes River runs approximately 92
miles from its headwaters to its confluence with the Deschutes River north of La Pine, Oregon.
