Uncompahgre BLM Revising Resource Management Plan-Public Input Needed

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Uncompahgre Field Office, is asking the public to help identify issues to be addressed as they begin revising their Resource Management Plan (RMP). The planning area covers almost 700,000 acres of public lands located in Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, San Miguel, Gunnison and Delta counties, in southwestern Colorado.

The RMP is the basic document used to guide land use decisions and management actions on public lands for 20 years or more. The first step in this process is to work with interest groups and the public in identification of management issues, as well as offer potential solutions. To achieve this, the BLM is asking for the public's participation in scoping meetings.

This "scoping" period, which runs through February 26, 2010, gives the public the opportunity to identify issues to be addressed in the plan revision before BLM begins drafting it, by becoming involved early in the process.
