ATTENTION ALL RECREATION USER GROUPS UTILIZING ALL-TERRAIN AND UTILITY VEHICLES ON CORPS LANDS On April 18, 2014, a public notice was released informing the All-Terrain (ATV) and Utility Vehicle (UTV) user groups at Enid and Grenada lakes of a new helmet policy. During the three-week period following its release, park rangers have performed ATV patrols to inform operators/passengers of the new rule and its impending enforcement. Beginning May 9, 2014, all ATV/UTV operators and passengers (including UTVs with full cabs, Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), All-Terrain Cycles (ATCs) and other vehicles that travel on non-highway tires and are designed specifically for off-road use) will be required to wear a DOT-approved helmet. Signs have been posted in various locations around the projects to inform and remind the public of the helmet requirements. Strict enforcement of all rules and regulations is intended to provide a safe environment for ATV/UTV operation, to protect natural resources, and to minimize negative impacts on the environment. Violators will be cited and fined in accordance with CFR Title 36 Rules and Regulations. Refusal to follow posted restrictions could also result in an appearance before a Federal Magistrate or banishment from the projects, or a combination of any of the above.
