Open OHV Recreation Area
2.0 Project Description
The primary management intent of the Open OHV Recreation Area is to continue to provide
informal open OHV recreation and trail use while preserving natural resources. Generally, this
area will be left in its current state and will continue to be used for multipurpose OHV use.
ORA Goal 1: Enhance visitor enjoyment of the SVRA by continuing to provide areas for
open riding with support facilities.
Drainage Management Area (DMA)
Runoff from the upstream and adjacent Oroville Municipal Airport, Larkin Road, Table Mountain
Golf Course, the Open OHV Recreation Area, and the Developed Use Area that enters the Drainage
Management Area could contain pollutants and sediments that would degrade water quality of the
drainage canal, which crosses the SVRA and drains to the remnant Feather River oxbow to the east
of the SVRA. Best management practices (BMPs) can improve water quality, which is crucial to
sustaining healthy aquatic habitats and maintaining safe conditions for visitors.
DMA Goal 1: Develop a parkwide water quality management plan to address the quality of
all surface waters entering the SVRA, traveling through the SVRA, and leaving the SVRA
through the Drainage Management Area.
DMA Goal 2: Implement actions within the Drainage Management Area to improve water
quality and to meet water quality standards.
