The Egin site qualifies under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act as a “standard amenity recreation fee” area, at which visitors can be charged a fee for use. Signs will be posted to identify fee sites. Holders of an America the Beautiful-The National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Interagency Annual Pass, an Interagency Senior Pass, an Interagency Access Pass, or an Interagency Volunteer Pass will have all day use fees waived. The BLM is committed to providing and receiving fair value for the use of developed recreation facilities and services in a manner that meets public use demands, provides quality experiences, and protects important resources, and the agency welcomes public comments on fee collection at this site. For more information about this fee or to comment on fee collection at Egin Lakes, please contact Bill Boggs with the BLM Upper Snake Field Office at 1405 Hollipark Drive, Idaho Falls, ID 83401, phone (208) 524-7500. More information: St. Anthony Sand Dunes The BLM manages more land - over 245 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands. | ||||
