Planning

The BLM prepares comprehensive land use plans to guide management decisions and actions on public lands. Before 1985, BLM's land use plans were called Management Framework Plans (MFPs). Since 1985, BLM's land use plans are called Resource Management Plans (RMPs). RMPs are prepared for relatively large areas of public lands, called planning areas, that tend to have similar resource characteristics. These planning areas usually coincide with BLM's field office boundaries. RMPs are also prepared for BLM-managed National Monuments and National Conservation Areas, which are components of the National Landscape Conservation System.

The Field Office is engaged in gathering information, public comments, concerns, opportunities and ideas to be considered in the development of a recreation management plan for 736 acres of BLM-administered public lands in the  Blue Creek Bay area.  Please check out the Blue Creek Bay web page for current information.
