The document "Appendix 3: Inventory of Government-Furnished Property" details government-owned improvements at developed recreation sites, listing descriptions, quantities, and estimated replacement costs for various properties across several sites: Bobcat Group, Lizard Rock Group, Rose Canyon, Rose Canyon Amphitheater, Rose Canyon Lake (Fishing), Showers Point, Spencer Canyon, and Whitetail Group. It emphasizes the Forest Service policy (FSM 2330.5) to provide universally designed, accessible recreation sites and facilities, with replacement costs reflecting accessible items where applicable. The inventory, while generally reliable, is subject to a final review and will be attached to the permit. This document is crucial for understanding the scope of government property at these sites and the commitment to accessibility standards.
