August 4, 1977. 6 pp. Report to Robert L. Herbst, Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, Department of the Interior; by Frank V. Subalusky, Assistant Director, Community and Economic Development Div. issue Area: Land Use Planning and Control (2300); Water and Water Related Programs: Use of Existing Water Supplies (2501). Contact: Community and Economic Development Div. Budqet Function: Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy: Water Resources and !ower (301); Naturbl Resources, Environment, and Energy: Conservation ind Lani management (3n2); Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy: Recreational Resources (303). Orcranization Concerned: Bureau of Outdoor Recreati on. Authority: Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as amended. Lands acquired and/or developed with Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance are not being consistently inspected by the States or the Bureau of outdoor Recreation to assure that the properties are properly selected and developed and adequately maintained in accordance with the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. Although the adverse effects of not making required inspections were relatively minor, there is a clear need for the Bureau to evaluate its site inspection program requirements. Findings/Conclusions: In several instances, local sponsors were not aware of +he Federal requirements and restrictions on Land and Water Conservation Fund assisted properties. This situation could result in Fund property being converted to nonoutdoor recreation uses. Actual site inspections during project development are important because they can provide the Bureau with the opportunity to correct project deficiencies before a significant amount cf Federal funds have been expended. Recommendations: The Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, Department of the Interior, should have the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation evaluate its current site inspection program requirements and take action to insure that the approved program is bring properly implemented. TL. Bureau should also be required to t,-riodically notify Land and Water Conservation Fund sponsors of the Find's assisted projects under their jurisdiction and require the sponsors to verify that the properties are, in fact, being used for approved outdoor recreation purposes- (SC)
