Historically any change in land use goes against off road enthusiasts.
So.... Will this mean more riding areas or less regardless of who enforces it?
Yep, you got it right, Less riding areas, more restrictions, greater cost, and more harassment.
Yes, we need to protect our environment but we need to do so in a common sense way where both our sport and our environment can coexist.
What has me worried is the "navigable waters" laws.
The term "navigable waters" of the United States means "navigable waters" as defined in section 502(7) of the FWPCA, and includes: (1) all navigable waters of the United States, as defined in judicial decisions prior to the passage of the 1972 Amendments of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, (FWPCA) (Pub. L. 92-500) also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), and tributaries of such waters as; (2) interstate waters; (3) intrastate lakes, rivers, and streams which are utilized by interstate travelers for recreational or other purposes; and (4) intrastate lakes, rivers, and streams from which fish or shellfish are taken and sold in interstate commerce.
From the current Governmental interpretation of this law they could shut down every riding area in Oregon that crosses a stream.
It's only going to get worse for us as time goes on, so what are we going to do to make the problem better?
