What is the EPA guidance to the BLM on the closure of the CCMA and those of us OHV citizens that now have less approved OHV areas to ride?
Where does the EPA expect us to take our families for these OHV outings?
Why after 40 years of using the CCMA is it Now a threat?

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I know as the Administrator of the EPA you are very busy.
However, in District 9 we have received very troubling news today about the emergency
closure of the Clear Creek Management Area.
As an outdoor family, our family and friends have raised our children to be outdoor
enthusiasts. Our sport is Off Road and OHV trips, camping and family time outdoors.
We have used this avenue to raise kids that are aware of the environment we live in,
and to "tread lightly".
However, the emergency closure of the Clear Creek Management Area has put thousands
of families at risk of not having an OHV area to enjoy.
All of us our shocked that after 30 to 40 years of patronizing CCMA, we are now told the EPA's
action is for our protection. How are we threatened by CCMA sir? The BLM has done a great job
at managing the area, and the last time we checked, not one person has suffered any illness
by repeated (and in some cases hundreds) of visits to CCMA.
We ask you to please help us lift this "Emergency Closure", allow the EIS to continue,
and give the BLM the management over the area they have without closure.
Our families need CCMA.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Pool,
What is the EPA guidance to the BLM on the closure of the CCMA and those of us OHV citizens that now have less
approved OHV areas to ride?
Where does the EPA expect us to take our families for these OHV outings?
Why after 40 years of using the CCMA is it Now a threat?
We are a growing group of concerned families that our public OHV areas are being stripped away.
Please help us get back CCMA. We are proud of the way the BLM has managed CCMA and need your support sir.
Kindly,
-Steve Chappell
