This final statement describes propos- 
ed actions and environmental impacts 
relating to the regulation of off-road 
vehicle use in the Allegheny National 
Forest, Pennsylvania. Control of off- 
road vehicles will have favorable im- 
pacts on wildlife by reducing harass- 
ment, minimizing snow compaction, and 
providing protection for critical hab- 
itats, endangered species, and espe- 
cially sensitive areas. Alternatives 
to the proposed action are discussed.

This task force study report includes 
discussions of impacts of off-road ve- 
hicles on wildlife. Several examples 
of harassment, indirect disturbance, 
and habitat destruction are cited. 
The report concludes that severe envi- 
ronmental damage can result from un- 
regulated off-road vehicle use, but 
that little factual information exists 
regarding long-range or irreparable 
environmental effects. Departmental 
policies are proposed.

proposed cross-country motorcycle race 
in California and Nevada. Effects are 
categorized as losses of wildlife hab- 
itat, losses to animal populations, 
and effects of noise; these are dis-

This final statement reviews the im- 
pacts of implementation of an Execu- 
tive Order providing for the control- 
led use of off-road vehicles on public 
Jands. Effective control of off-road 
vehicle use would reduce impacts on 
public land resources, including wild- 
life. Destruction and displacement of 
wildlife, habitat destruction, and ha- 
rassment are important effects of off- 
road vehicles on wildlife. Alterna- 
tives to the proposed action are eval- 
uated.

This draft statement reviews the pro- 
posed implementation of an Executive 
Order establishing policies and proce- 
dures for the regulated use of off- 
road vehicles on public lands. The 
proposed action will benefit wildlife 
by reducing harassment and habitat 
degradation caused by off-road vehi- 
cles. Various alternatives to the 
proposed action are also evaluated.
