Resource Management Planning

The BLM Grand Junction Field Office is in the process of revising its Resource Management Plan (RMP) to guide management of about 1 million acres of public land it administers.

A Draft RMP is expected to be released in the Fall of 2012. The Draft RMP will be available for a 90-day public comment period when it is released.

RMP News

We are currently preparing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Draft RMP. We plan to soon begin holding internal BLM, cooperating agency, and RAC subcommittee reviews of the DRMP/DEIS leading up to a public review in the fall of 2012. The final RMP and Record of Decision is expected in early 2014.

The RMP will be based on the selected alternative in the Record of Decision.


Special Reports

The following reports are provided for information only. They are being prepared as part of the RMP revision process for specific criteria that BLM is required to address. These reports will be used to inform the alternatives currently under development.
