e TMO can/cannot be based on existing conditions

Court Standard The managed and designed use of a trail are established by individual forest staffs…with the publics active assistance, and any changes require public involvement process and land management planning determinations, including appropriate (NEPA )review.

Trail Fundamentals are five concepts that are the cornerstones of Forest Service trail management: Trail Type Trail Class Designed Use Design Parameters Managed Use TRAIL FUNDAMENTALS Trail Fundamentals 1 6

Trail Type  Standard Terra Trail  Snow  Water

Trail Class 1: Minimally Developed Trail Class 2: Moderately Developed } Way Trail Class 3: Developed } Secondary Trail Class 4: Highly Developed} Mainline/ Primary Trail Class 5: Fully Developed 10 Trail Class

Trail Class Communicates the scale or level of development, not the type of use the trail will accommodate. Tread and traffic flow Obstacles Construction features and trail elements Signs Typical recreation environs and experience

Trail Class 1: Minimally Developed There are no design parameters for pack and saddle stock use

Trail Class 2: Moderately Developed } Way The minimum development scale intended to sustain pack and saddle stock use.

Trail Class 3: Developed } Secondary The fully developed Trail intended to accommodate the type and level of use typically found in a backcountry and wilderness environ.

Trail Class 4: Highly Developed } Mainline/ Primary Accommodations for passing and double lane when necessary

Trail Class 5: Fully Developed Visitor Centers High use Recreation sites Hardened or asphalt surface There are no design parameters for pack and saddle stock use

Managed Use The modes of travel actively managed and appropriate on a trail. There may be more than one mode. Example: Hiking and pack and saddle

Managed use as determined by applicable Land management plan, travel plan, or trail specific decision. A specific document that has involved the public and undergone appropriate public NEPA review.

Designed Use The managed use that requires the most demanding design, construction and maintenance parameters. There can only be one designed use per trail or trail segment.

Design Parameter The technical guidelines for the survey, design, construction, maintenance and assessment of a trail based on its designed use and trail class.

Most important to us Managed Use and Designed use Will give an indication of whether the trail will accommodate the type and level of use that was historically accommodated before implementation of the new system.

The specific clearing height and width parameters will give an indication Whether or not the trail is adequate for pack and saddle stock.

If the trail was historically a Pack and Saddle Stock Trail but has been changed. How was it changed Does the change meet the court standard

The managed and designed use of a trail are established by individual forest staffs…with the publics active assistance, and any changes require public involvement process and land management planning determinations, including appropriate (NEPA )review. Court Standard
