| There are no adverse affects for any endangered or sensitive species. | |
| The risk of the spread of weeds by motorized use is small and only a part of the cause which also includes hikers and animals. | |
| The amount of OHV use is small and its impact is accordingly small over the total project area. | |
| Damage from OHV use has been and can continue to be addressed on a local, site-specific basis. | |

UPDATE: This proposal has been implemented
