Congress has not provided appropriations for fiscal year 2014. Pursuant to applicable legal requirements in the Antideficiency Act and Attorney General opinions addressing agency operations in the absence of appropriations, the Forest Service is unable to administer federally-owned recreation facilities. Consequently these facilities will be shut down and posted accordingly with signs provided, with gates locked where they exist, restrooms locked, and water systems shut down. Visitors in occupied sites would be given 48 hours to vacate, with the area shut down as the last visitor leaves, not to exceed 48 hours.
Allegheny National Forrest overlooks at Allegheny Reservoir were Barrycade this past Saturday. I have pictures of my handiwork at the locked gates posted here, but the image hosting site where I saved them is down for maintenance at the moment.
