Statement of interest:<br />

The Serpentine Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) portion of the CCMA<br />

provides highly unique, technical single track OHV trails. Some refer to the CCMA as<br />

the “Yosemite of OHV opportunities”. The CCMA PRMP eliminates OHV recreation<br />

from the Serpentine ACEC. Loss of the unique OHV recreational opportunity<br />

afforded by the Serpentine ACEC is directly adverse to the <strong>Commission</strong>’s interest in<br />

supporting <strong>California</strong>’s OHMVR program and ensuring that high quality outdoor OHV<br />

recreational opportunities are available for the people of <strong>California</strong>. Prior to the 2008<br />

temporary closure, the OHV opportunities at CCMA attracted approximately 35,000<br />

visitors annually, bringing important economic benefit to rural <strong>California</strong> communities<br />

in the region.
