Description: Data shows the Alternative 1 No Change Action.Purpose and Need for ActionThe purpose of this project is to comply with the TMR by providing a system of roads, trails, and areas designated for motor vehicle use (36 CFR 212) and for that system to reduce impacts to biological, physical, and cultural resources in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. At 36 CFR 261.13, national forests are required to prohibit motor vehicle use off the system of designated roads, trails, and areas, and motor vehicle use that is not in accordance with the designations.There is a need for a transportation system for public use, Forest Service administration, and resource protection, while recognizing historic and current uses of the Apache-Sitgreaves. Specifically, there is a need for:identifying the system of roads that would be open to motor vehicle use;identifying the system of motorized trails for vehicles 50 inches or less in width; anddesignating the limited use of motor vehicles within a specified distance of certain designated routes solely for the purposes of dispersed camping or retrieval of big game by an individual who has legally killed the animal.There is a need to counter adverse effects to resources from continued use of some roads and motorized trails, as well as cross-country travel. Some detrimental effects from motorized use of the Apache-Sitgreaves include increased sediment deposits in streams, which degrade water quality and fish habitat; the spread of invasive plants; disturbances to a variety of plant and wildlife species; and the continued risk of damaging cultural resource sites.

Description: Big Game Retrieval was derived from boundaries for Arizona Game Management Unit (GMU) boundaries. A Game Management Unit is a division established by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission for wildlife management purposes, including the setting of hunting seasons. A GMU specifies areas and times for which certain wildlife species may be taken. These data are for reference only. See Arizona Game and Fish Commission Rule 12-4-108 in the official Arizona Hunting and Trapping Regulations for legal descriptions of GMU boundaries. The Arizona Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet may be picked up at any Arizona Game and Fish Office or accessed electronically via the Internet at www.azgfd.gov. GMUS were last revised in June 2006.
