SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) - The publication of a travel management plan for off-highway vehicles has been delayed to February.

The plan will detail the first system of designated trails in the Black Hills for motor vehicle use. Trails that are not designated will be made off-limits to motor vehicles.

Black Hills National Forest Supervisor Craig Bobzien says the plan has been in the works since 2004.

Bobzien says the process has been a sensitive balancing act weighing diverse needs.

Some 4,000 comments have been recorded and are being used to affect the decision.

"Although OHV use on federal lands is legal on designated roads and trails, it has increased so dramatically that federal managers seem unable to keep up."

-- Congressman Raul Grijalva, reported in Las Vegas Review Journal (3/17/08)
