The purpose of this subpart is to provide, within the context of multiple use management, State-specific direction for the protection of roadless areas on National Forest System lands in Colorado. The intent of this regulation is to protect roadless values by restricting tree cutting, sale, and removal; road construction and reconstruction; and linear construction zones within Colorado Roadless Areas (CRAs), with narrowly focused exceptions. Activities must be designed to conserve the roadless area characteristics listed in § 294.41, although applying the exceptions in § 294.42, § 294.43, and § 294.44 may have effects to some roadless area characteristics. § 294.41 Definitions. The following terms and definitions apply to this subpart. At-Risk Community: Catchment: Colorado Roadless Areas: Colorado Roadless Areas Upper Tier Acres: Community Protection Zone: (1) Has a sustained steep slope that creates the potential for wildfire behavior endangering the at-risk community; (2) Has a geographic feature that aids in creating an effective fire break, such as a road or a ridge top; or (3) Is in condition class 3 as defined by HFRA. Community Wildfire Protection Plan: (1) Is developed within the context of the collaborative agreements and the guidance established by the Wildland Fire Leadership Council and agreed to by the applicable local government, local fire department, and State agency responsible for forest management, in consultation with interested parties and the Federal land management agencies managing land in the vicinity of the at-risk community; (2) Identifies and prioritizes areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments and recommends the types and methods of treatment on Federal and non-Federal land that will protect one or more at-risk communities and essential infrastructure; and (3) Recommends measures to reduce structural ignitability throughout the at-risk community. Condition Class 3: (1) Fire regimes on land have been significantly altered from historical ranges; (2) There exists a high risk of losing key ecosystem components from fire; (3) Fire frequencies have departed from historical frequencies by multiple return intervals, resulting in dramatic changes to: (i) The size, frequency, intensity, or severity of fires; or (ii) Landscape patterns; and (4) Vegetation attributes have been significantly altered from the historical range of the attributes. Fire Hazard: Fire Occurrence: Fire Risk: Forest Road: Hazardous Fuels: Linear Construction Zone: Linear Facility: Municipal Water Supply System: Native Cutthroat Trout: Permanent Road: Pre-Existing Water Court Decree: Responsible Official: Road: Roadless Area Characteristics: (1) High quality or undisturbed soil, water, and air; (2) Sources of public drinking water; (3) Diversity of plant and animal communities; (4) Habitat for threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species, and for those species dependent on large, undisturbed areas of land; (5) Primitive, semi-primitive non-motorized and semi-primitive motorized classes of dispersed recreation; (6) Reference landscapes; (7) Natural-appearing landscapes with high scenic quality; (8) Traditional cultural properties and sacred sites; and (9) Other locally identified unique characteristics. Temporary Road: Water Conveyance Structures: Water Influence Zone: Watershed Conservation Practice: § 294.42 Prohibition on tree cutting, sale, or removal. (a) General. (b) Upper Tier Acres. (1) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is incidental to the implementation of a management activity not otherwise prohibited by this subpart; or (2) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed and appropriate for personal or administrative use, as provided for in 36 CFR part 223, subpart A. (c) Non-Upper Tier Acres. (1) The Regional Forester determines tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed to reduce hazardous fuels to an at-risk community or municipal water supply system that is: (i) Within the first one-half mile of the community protection zone, or (ii) Within the next one-mile of the community protection zone, and is within an area identified in a Community Wildfire Protection Plan. (iii) Projects undertaken pursuant to paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section will focus on cutting and removing generally small diameter trees to create fuel conditions that modify fire behavior while retaining large trees to the maximum extent practical as appropriate to the forest type. (2) The Regional Forester determines tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed outside the community protection zone where there is a significant risk that a wildland fire disturbance event could adversely affect a municipal water supply system or the maintenance of that system. A significant risk exists where the history of fire occurrence, and fire hazard and risk indicate a serious likelihood that a wildland fire disturbance event would present a high risk of threat to a municipal water supply system. (i) Projects will focus on cutting and removing generally small diameter trees to create fuel conditions that modify fire behavior while retaining large trees to the maximum extent practical as appropriate to the forest type. (ii) Projects are expected to be infrequent. (3) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed to maintain or restore the characteristics of ecosystem composition, structure and processes. These projects are expected to be infrequent. (4) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed to improve habitat for federally threatened, endangered, proposed, or Agency designated sensitive species; in coordination with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, including the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife. (5) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is incidental to the implementation of a management activity not otherwise prohibited by this subpart. (6) Tree cutting, sale, or removal is needed and appropriate for personal or administrative use, as provided for in 36 CFR part 223, subpart A. § 294.43 Prohibition on road construction and reconstruction. (a) General. (b) Upper Tier Acres. (1) A road is needed pursuant to reserved or outstanding rights, or as provided for by statute or treaty, or (2) A road is needed to protect public health and safety in cases of an imminent threat of flood, fire or other catastrophic event that, without intervention, would cause the loss of life or property. (3) For any road construction/reconstruction authorized pursuant to this provision, subject to the legal rights identified in 36 CFR 294.43(b)(1), the responsible official must determine: (i) Motorized access, without road construction is not feasible; (ii) When proposing to construct a forest road, that a temporary road would not provide reasonable access; (iii) Road construction is consistent with the applicable land management plan direction; (iv) Within a native cutthroat trout catchment or identified recovery watershed, road construction will not diminish, over the long-term, conditions in the water influence zone and the extent of the occupied native cutthroat trout habitat; and (v) That watershed conservation practices will be applied to all projects occurring in native cutthroat trout habitat. (c) Non-Upper Tier Acres. (1) That one of the following exceptions exists: (i) A road is needed pursuant to reserved or outstanding rights, or as provided for by statute or treaty; (ii) Road realignment is needed to prevent irreparable resource damage that arises from the design, location, use, or deterioration of a forest road and that cannot be mitigated by road maintenance. Road realignment may occur under this paragraph only if the road is deemed essential for administrative or public access, public health and safety, or uses authorized under permit, easement or other legal instrument; (iii) Road reconstruction is needed to implement a road safety improvement project on a forest road determined to be hazardous on the basis of accident experience or accident potential on that road; (iv) The Regional Forester determines a road or temporary road is needed to allow for the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of an authorized water conveyance structure which is operated pursuant to a pre-existing water court decree with the use of the road limited to the water right identified in the pre-existing water court decree (see also § 294.44(b)(2)); (v) A temporary road is needed to protect public health and safety in cases of imminent threat of flood, fire, or other catastrophic event that, without intervention, would cause the loss of life or property; (vi) The Regional Forester determines a temporary road is needed to facilitate tree cutting, sale, or removal (§ 294.42(c)(1)) within the first one-half mile of the community protection zone to reduce the wildfire hazard to an at-risk community or municipal water supply system; (vii) The Regional Forester determines a temporary road is needed to facilitate tree cutting, sale, or removal (§ 294.42(c)(3)) within the first one-half mile of the community protection zone to maintain or restore characteristics of ecosystem composition, structure and processes; (viii) A temporary road is needed within a Colorado Roadless Area pursuant to the exploration or development of an existing oil and gas lease that does not prohibit road construction or reconstruction, including the construction of infrastructure necessary to transport the product, on National Forest System lands that are under lease issued by the Secretary of the Interior as of July 3, 2012. The Forest Service shall not authorize the Bureau of Land Management to grant any request for a waiver, exception, or modification to any oil or gas lease if doing so would result in any road construction within a Colorado Roadless Area beyond that which was authorized by the terms and conditions of the lease at the time of issuance; or (ix) A temporary road is needed for coal exploration and/or coal-related surface activities for certain lands with Colorado Roadless Areas within the North Fork Coal Mining Area of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests as defined by the North Fork Coal Mining Area displayed on the final Colorado Roadless Areas map. Such roads may also be used for collecting and transporting coal mine methane. Any buried infrastructure, including pipelines, needed for the capture, collection, and use of coal mine methane, will be located within the rights-of-way of temporary roads that are otherwise necessary for coal-related surface activities including the installation and operation of methane venting wells. (2) If proposed road construction/reconstruction meets one of the exceptions, subject to the legal rights identified in § 294.43(c)(1), the responsible official must determine: (i) Motorized access, without road construction is not feasible; (ii) When proposing to construct a forest road, that a temporary road would not provide reasonable access; (iii) Road construction is consistent with the applicable land management plan direction; (iv) Within a native cutthroat trout catchment or identified recovery watershed, road construction will not diminish, over the long-term, conditions in the water influence zone and the extent of the occupied native cutthroat trout habitat; and (v) That watershed conservation practices will be applied to all projects occurring in native cutthroat trout habitat. (d) Road construction/reconstruction/decommissioning project implementation and management. (1) Road construction/reconstruction. (2) Road decommissioning. (3) Road designations. (4) Road use. (i) Where specifically used for the purpose for which the road was established; or (ii) Motor vehicle use that is specifically authorized under a Federal law or regulation. (5) Road maintenance. [77 FR 39602, July 3, 2012, as amended at 81 FR 91821, Dec. 19, 2016] § 294.44 Prohibition on linear construction zones. (a) General. (b) Upper Tier Acres. (1) Pursuant to reserved or outstanding rights, or as provided for by statute or treaty. (2) For the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of an authorized water conveyance structure which is operated pursuant to a pre-existing water court decree (see § 294.43(c)(1)(iv)); (c) Non-Upper Tier Acres. (1) Pursuant to reserved or outstanding rights, or as provided for by statute or treaty. (2) For the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of an authorized water conveyance structure which is operated pursuant to a pre-existing water court decree (see § 294.43(c)(1)(iv)); (3) For the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of existing or future authorized electrical power lines or telecommunication lines. Electrical power lines or telecommunication lines within Colorado Roadless Areas will only be authorized if there is no opportunity for the project to be implemented outside of a Colorado Roadless Area without causing substantially greater environmental damage; or (4) For the construction, reconstruction or maintenance of a pipeline associated with operation of an oil and gas lease that allows surface use within a Colorado Roadless Area or the construction, reconstruction or maintenance of a pipeline needed to connect to infrastructure within a Colorado Roadless Area from outside a Colorado Roadless Area where such a connection would cause substantially less environmental damage than alternative routes. The construction of pipelines for the purposes of transporting oil or natural gas through a Colorado Roadless Area, where the source(s) and destination(s) of the pipeline are located exclusively outside of a Colorado Roadless Area, shall not be authorized. (d) Proposed Linear Construction Zones. (1) Motorized access, without a linear construction zone, is not feasible; (2) A linear construction zone is consistent with the applicable land management plan direction; (3) A linear construction zone is no wider than its intended use; (4) Within a native cutthroat trout catchment or identified recovery watershed, a linear construction zone will not diminish, over the long-term, conditions in the water influence zone and the extent of the occupied native cutthroat trout habitat; (5) Reclamation of a linear construction zone will not diminish, over the long-term, roadless area characteristics; and (6) That watershed conservation practices will be applied to all projects occurring in catchments with occupied native cutthroat trout habitat. (e) Linear construction zone decommissioning. § 294.45 Environmental documentation. (a) Environmental documentation will be prepared pursuant to Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act, 40 CFR part 1500, and 36 CFR part 220 for any proposed action within a Colorado Roadless Area. Proposed actions that would significantly alter the undeveloped character of a Colorado Roadless Area require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). (b) The Forest Service will offer cooperating agency status to the State of Colorado, for all proposed projects and planning activities subject to this rule that would be implemented on lands within Colorado Roadless Areas. Where the Forest Service does not have the authority to offer formal cooperating agency status, the Forest Service shall offer to coordinate with the State. § 294.46 Other activities. (a) Water Rights. (b) Oil and Gas Leases. (c) Oil and Gas Leases on Upper Tier Acres. (d) Oil and Gas Surface Use Plans of Operation. (1) Locate, without compromising health and safety standards, roads, well sites, and facilities on pre-existing areas of surface disturbance. Project design shall minimize the amount of necessary temporary road construction or reconstruction. (2) Consider an alternative for proposed operations that addresses locating directional drilling of multi-well sites on pre-existing areas of surface disturbance. Such an alternative can be dismissed from detailed analysis with clear justification. (3) Restrict road construction for leases partially within Colorado Roadless Areas to portions of the lease outside of Colorado Roadless Areas except when doing so will be substantially more environmentally damaging, compromise safety standards, or is unfeasible due to surface and/or operational conditions. (4) Perform reclamation of surface disturbances incrementally, to minimize the total area of disturbance at any given point in time during the exploration or development of a lease. (5) Design temporary roads and facilities to blend with the terrain to minimize visual impacts and to facilitate restoration when the road is no longer needed. (6) Co-locate, consistent with health and safety standards, power lines, flow lines and pipelines within the right-of-way of roads or other LCZs to minimize the area of surface disturbance. (7) Consider new and developing low impact techniques and technologies and either apply or dismiss with justification. (8) Consider the best available technology to minimize noise and air emissions. (e) Trails. (f) Motorized access. (g) Livestock grazing. § 294.47 Modifications and administrative corrections.

(a) This subpart does not revoke, suspend, or modify any permit, contract, lease, or other legal instrument authorizing or granting rights to the occupancy and use of National Forest system land issued prior to July 3, 2012 nor does it affect the authority or the discretion of the responsible official to reissue any such permit, contract, or other legal instrument upon its expiration or termination. (b) This subpart does not revoke, suspend, or modify any project or activity decision made prior to July 3, 2012. (c) The provisions set forth in this subpart provide the maximum level of tree cutting, sale and removal, and road construction and reconstruction activity allowed within Colorado Roadless Areas. Land management plan components can be more restrictive than this subpart and will continue to provide direction and guidance for projects and activities within Colorado Roadless Areas. Nothing in this subpart shall prohibit a responsible official from further restricting activities allowed within Colorado Roadless Areas. This subpart does not compel the amendment or revision of any land management plan. (d) The prohibitions and restrictions established in this subpart are not subject to reconsideration, revision, or rescission in subsequent project decisions or land management plan amendments or revisions undertaken pursuant to 36 CFR part 219. (e) Nothing in this subpart waives any applicable requirements regarding site specific environmental analysis, public involvement, consultation with Tribes and other agencies, or compliance with applicable laws. (f) If any provision in this subpart or its application to any person or to certain circumstances is held to be invalid, the remainder of the regulations in this subpart and their application remain in force. (g) After July 3, 2012 36 CFR 294.10 through 294.14 shall have no effect within the State of Colorado. § 294.49 List of designated Colorado Roadless Areas.
