UNCOMPAHGRE RMP REVISION
SEEKING MEMBERS for Uncompahgre Planning Advisory subgroup - Letters of interest due November 6, 2009
The UFO is in the beginning stages of revising the Uncompahgre Resource Management Plan. The Uncompahgre planning area encompasses approximately 675,677 surface acres within the UFO boundary. It does not include the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, which is managed under a separate RMP, or the newly designated Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, which will also operate under a separate RMP.

Current Planning Activities
The public scoping/public comment process for the Uncompahgre RMP is anticipated to begin in January 2010. We are preparing to release the Draft Wild and Scenic River Eligibility Report, and are currently drafting an Analysis of the Management Situation, followed by a preliminary Mineral Potential Report. We will add additional information concerning the planning effort as it becomes available.
