North Fork John Day Wild and Scenic River Management Plan

The Oregon Omnibus Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1988 placed the North Fork John Day River into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers system, to be managed according to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. This law required the Forest Service to develop a management plan within 3 years of designation.

This River Management Plan is accompanied by an Environmental Assessment. The Environmental Assessment provides information about the planning process used and documents the environmental analysis completed by the river planning team. The alternative chosen by the Forest Supervisors from the Environmental Assessment is the basis for the River Management Plan. The Forest Supervisors' decision is in the Decision Notice, which accompanies the Environmental Assessment.

The North Fork John Day River Management Plan (Appendix G below) will be incorporated in to the Forest Plans through an amendment to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan and the Umatilla National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plans). Any changes to this river plan will be through the Forest planning process or through environmental analyses and amendments to the Forest Plans.
