Appendix 4- Applicable Forest Orders.pdf

This document is a set of Forest Supervisor Orders for the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia, specifically Appendix 4 detailing applicable forest orders for operating and maintaining multiple recreation facilities. The orders outline prohibitions and restrictions for visitors across various ranger districts (Marlinton-White Sulphur, Gauley, Cheat-Potomac, and Greenbrier), including rules about camping duration, campsite occupancy, vehicle limitations, equipment storage, and prohibited activities such as hunting, fireworks, and alcohol consumption.

The orders, issued under the authority of the Act of Congress dated June 4, 1897, cover the entire Monongahela National Forest and provide specific guidelines for recreational areas. Violations can result in fines up to $5,000 for individuals or $10,000 for organizations, or imprisonment for up to six months. Certain exemptions exist for individuals with specific permits or federal, state, and local officers performing official duties. The orders were signed by Forest Supervisor Clyde N. Thompson in March and April 2012 and are accompanied by detailed maps showing the forest's ranger districts, recreation sites, and proclamation boundaries.
