Endorsed by the California Association of 4WD Clubs, Inc. The California Association of 4WD Clubs, Inc. has endorsed this guide to help promote dune-user education at the State Vehicular Recreation Area at Pismo Beach. It is hoped that readers will learn from the information contained in it and be resp9nsible enough to enjoy the area in a safe and non-abusive manner. Unfortunately, some individuals have shown a total disregard for the natural vegetation and we may all pay the price-some environmental groups are pushing for a moratorium on off. highway vehicle use at these dunes. The Association believes that off-road enthusiasts can enjoy the area while causing no damage to the environment if these enthusiasts are made aware of the consequences. Therefore, the Association is mak• ing this guide available to everyone that visits the SVRA. The Association wants to thank businesses that are advertis-ed in this guide; without their support, this education project could not have been made available. These advertisers deserve recognition by all of us. We must all work together and show common sense in terms of safety and protection of the environment if we are to ensure that the area is to remain open for off-highway recreation. For many people, OHV recreation is a family activity and now more than ever, this must be protected. ... an organization dedicated to of v<ehidte oritentted out~ ~ ..CS proper use of our pubic lmds..

2Purpose: This guide was prepared to help the OHV enthusiast to enjoy the Pismo Dunes to the greatest extent while causing the least amount of damage to the environment. There are many interesting things to see at the Pismo OHV Park and the aerial photographs should help the user to find them. All of us who drive vehicles on the sand must use common sense if we are to protect our right to use them. We should also watch and guide those among us who seem to lack this trait. It would certainly be a shame to have the dunes closed to OHV use because of the damage done by a few inconsiderate individuals. This guide should help us to stay in the areas designated for OHV use• this is essential if we are to keep the area open for this purpose. As the aerial photographs show, there is more sand out there that we are permitted to drive on than many of us will ever be able to · without going out of the boundaries of the OHV Park. The photographs cover such a large area that a 4x4 truck would be smaller than the head of a pin. Please don't litter• the Parks Dept. has given credit to the majori-ty of the OHV park users for their outstanding habit of cleaning up after themselves; let's preserve this image. The local OHV clubs have a saying: "If you haul it in• haul it out" . (OHV: Off Highway Vehicle) "He's licensed-but not to drive." Current Status of the OHV Park: There is a lot of controversy around the idea of OHV use on the Pismo Dunes. The natural flora of the dunes hold the sand when the wind blows and when the sand does cover it up, it just grows up and out again. This natural sand trap is what keeps the sand at the dunes and out of the agricultural and industrial areas to the east. Unfor-tunately, this natural vegetation is easily killed by vehicle travel -therefore, we must keep our vehicles on the sand and OFF THE GREEN STUFF. The dunes have been classified into three categories: Vegetated dunes • those just described that we must not drive on. Active dunes• the sandy areas that can support vehicle use without damage. No matter how hard we try, we can not move as much sand with our vehicles as the wind does. Stabilized dunes -the transition area between the active dunes and agriculturally useful areas. These are environmentally sensitive areas that must be protected from damage by OHV usage. They contain highly vegetated dunes and lakes that are of great aesthetic value and would be perfect for hiking and apprecia-tion of nature. The San Luis Obispo County Planning Department is working with the California Parks Department and the Coastal Commission to designate areas to be used for OHV's as well as other uses. The aerial photographs show the tentative boundaries that (at time of publication) are subject to public hearings. If you have any opinions or suggestions on the boundaries, you are urged to become in-volved. Places and people to contact are listed at the end of the guide. Buffer zones have been proposed (see aerial maps) to insulate en-vironmentally sensitive stabilized dunes and private property from accidental OHV use. With proper funding in the future, these areas will be designated by signs -for now, this guide should help to fill th;s need.

3The Pismo Dune Preserve is not to be used by OH V's at all. This area is of scientific inte rest because of archeological sites and the need for protection of the vegetated dunes in their natural state. In the fu ture, trails with ma rkers showing natural phenomena will hopefully be established. With some luck, maybe this guide can generate enough interest in the area to provoke funding for such endeavors. One additiona l area that should be mentioned is the shoreline. The famous Pismo clams live just beneath the surface of the sand as well as sand crabs and other littoral animal life. Especially at low tide, this area should not be driven on; besides, the salt water does an alarming amount of damage to the OHV itself• rust and corro-sion is a certain result • it's not worth it. IEEP-oUT .... ■llOPASSa Ill lff flll-ffllllS {l !US 11111 llffl1l . ~ ..... ~ Believe it; it's true. Declaration of Purpose as Proposed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Pi smo Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is established to make available to the people opportunities for recreational use of off-road vehicles in a large area of unstabilized sand dunes exceptionally adapted to this recrea-tional activity; to regulate such uses in the interest of visitor safety and environmental protection; and to provide ap· propriate re lated facilities to serve the users of the area. At the same time, the area is established to afford protection to surrounding stabilized sand dunes that embrace some areas of great ecological interest and significance including freshwater lakes. These areas are important not only in their own right, but also as key elements in experience arising from those activities. This protection is to be afforded by exclusion of vehicular activites, by establishment of natural preserves in appropriate locations, and by other measures as required . . . . . . As Proposed By The San Luis Obispo P_lanning Dept. ACCESS CONTROL: All access points in the p·ark facility will be controlled. Primary access for off-road vehicles into the dunes will be from the OHV staging area when developed. Through the development of user-oriented facilities and services, in addition to safer and easier access into the dunes, this will become the main control point. Trailered vehicles will also be directed to this access area. Day use by non-ORV vehicles will be permitted access at the Pier Avenue and Oceana ramps. Continued free day use of the beach shall be provided. HABITAT PROTECTION: Natural buffer areas shall be identified for sensit ive hab itat area s and the stabilized dune areas. Habitat enhancement programs shall be undertaken for the areas including programs such as stabilization of the dunes with appropriate native vegetation to protect encroachment on wetlands and surrounding agricultural land. a. Dune Lakes b. Coreopsis Hill c. Oso F laco Lake d. Little Oso Flaco Lake Fences or other appropriate techniques shall be maintained where needed to preclude vehicular access in such areas as the Dune Lakes, Oso Flaco Lake and natural areas in the eastern portion of the park.

4Proposed Local Coastal Plan (Pending Public Hearings) OFF-ROAD VEHICLE STAGING AREA: An offhighway vehicle stag-ing area shall be developed on the state park holding south of Oso Flaco Lake. Development plans for the facility shall include the following: a. The State Department of Parks and Recreation shall institute studies for the feasibility of an alternative access into the dunes from the staging area other than the existing causeway. Preliminary review would indicate that a new access could be constructed in the area between the two lakes. The road could be sand surface to minimize impacts to offhighway vehicles. Site selection shall include detailed review by a qualified biologist to determine the extent of the wetland and the necessary mitigation measures including dune stabilization. Construction of an alternate accessway would permit the pre-sent causeway (which bisects Oso Flaco Lake) to be properly managed. Natural buffer areas and substantial habitat restora-tion programs can be completed. If a more suitable and en-vironmentally sensitive access is identified, the existing causeway shall be maintained for only limited access to the beach and dune areas, primarily serving emergency, patrol and service vehicles. Where it can be found that adequate pro-tection exists, the causeway may also serve as a secondary ac-cessway on the major weekends when the park receives the greatest visitor use. b. The campground shall provide approximately 300 campsites (with an estimated 5 persons per site) and 100 day-use trailer-ing sites. Overflow capacity should be incorporated in the design to accommodate as much of the major weekend peak use as feasible consistent with both environmental habitat and agricultural protection. (It is estimated that the facility can handle double the users on major weekends. This may include 3,000 persons.) c. A means of ensuring that total use will be consistent with the carrying-capacity of the site such as reservation system shall be identified. d. A buffer shall be established around the wetlands excluding the access corridor. The extent of the buffer shall be estab-lished through a detailed biological survey of the area. The California Department of Fish and Game shall be consulted in specific site selection. e. Noise control measures shall be required for OHV use in prox-imity to natural preseve areas. f. Construct and maintain fenced vehicle barrier in traffic control area through natural area. g. A buffer shall be maintained to minimize impacts on surround-ing agricultural users. All lands not required for recreation use shall be made available for agricultural lease. The Local Coastal Plan will prohibit OHV use in the areas shown in these pictures.

6Driving The Dunes Most 4x4's will perform far better if the tires are deflated to about 12 to 15-psi or less -the less idea is touchy. Many of us get by great at only 8 psi but check with the tire dealer where you purchased your tires. If you pop the bead of a tire off the rim, you have your work cut out for you; not to mention the possible damage to the vehicle. A good practice is to deflate tires to about 15 lbs. for general sand driving, and if you get stuck, let some more air out -this leaves you with a small margin for the limitations of your paricular vehicle. A portable air compressor is real handy when you are ready to get back on the highway. The CB is of unquestioned value. Channel 4 is commonly used for friendly communications while channel 9 is reserved for emergency use. Channel 9 is monitored by the Ranger Trailer for when you need help. If you need professional towing, try channel 19. You can use the aerial maps to give an approximate location of where you are if you want to meet someone or need help. A towing strap may be helpful-many times somebody may offer to pull you out of a jam, but your rescuer may not have a strap, either. The sand dunes have a few common characteristics that should be understood to best enjoy them. Since the wind almost always blows on-shore, the active dunes tend to taper up gradually and then drop off very rapidly into a cone when driving in an easterly direc-tion. When you drive in this direction, be careful! to avoid driving off one of these steep ledges or you wi II end up in a cone that you may not be able to get out of without help. A s long as you drive slowly in areas unknown to you, and get out of you vehicle and take a look at what's ahead when in doubt, you shouldn't have any problems. When in doubt, get out and look. The local 4x4 clubs (especially Gold Coast 4x4's) have placed markers along the sand highway which are very helpful. Since the sand highway is the most frequently used area of the ORV Park, it is essential that we "keep to the right" of the markers when others are in the area. The aerial photographs show some of the markers that are numbered to help establish locations. Driving the dunes is a lot of fun as long as we all abide by the rules: Don't Litter Stay Off The Green Stuff Use Seatbelts Use Common Sense ---Keep to the right of the markers.

7TEN WAYS TO KEEP THE DUNES OPEN TO OHV USE 1. Each unit must carry a FLAG TEN FEET HIGH. 2. Keep to right of Sand Hi-way markers. RED markers mean DANGER. 3. Speed limit is 15 MPH on the beach AND within 50 feet of campsites. 4. DO NOT drive through vegetated areas. 5. Observe "No Trespassing" signs. Respect the right of private property. 6. No littering. If you haul it in -haul it out. 7. No firearms or drinking in vehicles. 8. Do not dump sink and shower water, nor sewage waste onto beach or dunes. 9. Courtesy and caution at all times. The life you save may be yours or mine. 10. ENJOY· DON'T DESTROY. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW BEACH AND DUNE REGULATIONS 1 . All traffic laws that apply on the highways are applicable to the beach, including: a. No alcoholic beverages in a moving vehicle. b. All drivers must be licensed. c. All vehicles must have either OHV decal or street plates. d. No erratic driving - no weaving or swerving in and out of traffic flow. No high speed 180° or 360° circles. 2 . Give a Hoot -Don't Pollute. If you hauled it in -haul it out! 3. In the developed areas, only street-licensed vehicles are permit-ted on established roadways; no OHVs. Equipment All Vehicles Must Have • A muf(ler, which may not include a cutout or bypass device. Noise limits are 92 dbA for vehicles manufactured before 1973; 88 dbA for vehicles manufactured 1973-74; and 86 dbA for vehicles manufactured from 1975 on. • At least one headlight that enables the operator to see clearly 200 feet ahead and one taillight visible for 200 feet if the vehicle is operated between sunset and sunrise. In addition, vehicles used in the off-highway vehicle area must have: • A whip that extends at least ten feet from the surface of the ground when the vehicle is stopped. • A flag, red or orange, attached within ten inches of the top of the whip. It must be at least 6 inches by 10 inches in size. • A roll bar or roof strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle (except cycles). • Secure seals and seal bells for the driver and each passenger (ex-cept cycles). Use of helmets, goggles, and protective clothing is recommended. IT'S THE LA WI Speed and Reckless Driving The speed limit is 15 mph on the beach or within 50 feet of a campsite. Speed and reckless driving that endanger others are prohibited; penalties are more severe for reckless driving that injures someone. Beach driving rules: No erratic driving or weaving in and out of traffic flow, and no 180 ° or 360 ° turns. Registration All vehicles must be registered and the green sticker or license plate clearly displayed on the vehicle. Only street-licensed vehicles are permitted or. park roads. Vehicle Code The provisions of the California Off-Highway Vehicle Code (copies availabe from the Department of Motor Vehicles), the California Ad-ministrative code, and various local ordinances apply in Pismo State Beach/State Vehicular Recreation Area. fl is your responsibility lo know beach and dune regulations. Unlicensed Drivers An unlicensed driver may operate a vehicle only in the designated dunes area, and only during daylight hours if: • Accompanied by a licensed driver. A licensed driver may super-vise only one unlicensed driver at a time. • Able to operate all vehicle controls.

The weather here is moderate year-round, with an average temperature of 60 ° F, sum-mer and winter. Summers tend to be foggy and winter days clear and windy. Water temperatures are generally cold, often less than 58°. At the southern end of the park, there is an 850-acre off-highway vehicle area for dune buggies, motorcycles, and other vehicles that can be operated in soft sand. Camping There are two developed campgrounds on the east side of the sand dunes in the northern part of the park. You may reserve sites in the North Beach Campground (near the City of Pismo Beach) from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and in the Oceano Campground, (near the town of Oceano) year-round, at Ticketron outlets throughout the state. Primitive campsites on the beach, three-quarters of a mile south of Arroyo Grande Creek, are available on a first-come-first-served basis. All of Pismo State Beach is closed to vehicles from 11 p.m. until one hour before sunrise. Remember: Littering and draining waste water or sewage onto the ground or sand are prohibited.

9Many people believe that an alternative access to the Dunes could be provided in this inland region. It may also prove to be a better alternative than Oso Flaco Lake in terms of environmen-tal impact and feasibility. This is a controversial subject and land acquisition is involved. No farmland would need to be con-fiscated and access could be designed so that stabilized dunes would not be damaged. ... .__ ... .., GRANO AVENUE GROVER CITY -..._ - ...

The Future of This Guide and the Area It Serves We hope to add some more information about the history of the area (the old dance pavilion, red light district, paved roads across the dunes, gypsies, Indians, etc.) in the next edition. We also want to add more aerial photographs showing the area south of Oso Flaco Lake and additional possible staging (camping and access) areas to help increase awareness and interest in the future of OHV recreation at the Pismo Dunes. The guide will also continue to indicate proposed regula-tions, boundaries and plans for the SVRA in an effort to keep OHV enthusiasts informed-please use this information to help you to provide your own input into the agencies that will decide the future of our recreation. Our attitudes and actions are being watched by environmen-tal organizations, government agencies, local property owners, news media and every concerned citizen; please show respect for the land and other people-we do not want to lose what we have. We do not want OHV recreation at Pismo to end up like the jeep in the picture-at an abrupt halt. 11 13 13 14 14 12 15 To obtain more information about advertising in this guide, write to SANTA MARIA AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY P.O.
