This document outlines the locations of pumping sites across various ranger districts within the Fremont-Winema National Forest and associated lands. It maps out significant campsites, trailheads, and day-use areas alongside agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service involved in land management. The data was compiled by S. Stoffel on various dates in 2019 and is structured visually with different sites and routes indicated on a series of maps. Each district, including Chemult, Klamath, and Paisley, has marked pumping sites critical for resource management and recreational use. The maps serve as a practical reference to enhance compliance with environmental management practices, ensuring efficient use of forest resources while supporting public engagement in recreational activities. The information emphasizes collaboration between federal, state, and private sectors to maintain and develop outdoor amenities within the forested lands. This aligns with the government’s mandate to promote sustainable development and public access to natural resources.

Quality control measures are emphasized, including periodic assessments by the COR. The contract is effective until December 31, 2025, with room for four additional option periods, allowing continued service as needed. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to maintaining sanitation in recreational areas while ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.
