Abstract
Regulations and education are required to make the management practices discussed in Chapter 22 effective. In addition, techniques for enforcing the regulations, penalties for their violation, and methods of raising revenue are required. The discussions in this chapter are also directed to meeting the needs of ORV users, protecting resources, and minimizing conflicts with other users. Some of the topics discussed were introduced in a 1977 Geological Society of America (GSA) committee report. The laws and techniques discussed are based on experience and accepted jurisprudence; they are believed to be applicable to the recreation programs of federal, state, and local units of government in the United States.
The views and conclusions contained in this chapter are based on the authors’ studies or experiences and do not necessarily represent the official viewpoint or policy of any U.S. government agency.
