The Bureau of Land Management’s Billings Field Office intends to prepare a resource management plan (RMP). The plan will provide future direction for managing BLM-administered public lands in Carbon, Yellowstone, Stillwater, Sweet Grass, Musselshell, Wheatland, Golden Valley, and portions of Big Horn counties, Montana, as well as Pompeys Pillar National Monument. The land area to be covered under the Billings/Pompeys Pillar RMP is approximately 427,290 acres of federally managed surface and 906,084 acres of federal mineral estate in southcentral Montana. The RMP area also includes administration of 6,340 acres of public land inside the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range in Big Horn County, Wyoming. The purpose of the RMP is to establish goals and objectives for resource management; identify lands that are open or available for certain uses, including any restrictions, and lands that are closed to certain uses; provide comprehensive management direction for all resources and uses; and make broad-scale decision to guide future site-specific project implementation. As part of the plan preparation, an environmental impact statement (EIS) will also be prepared. The development of the RMP and the EIS will be a collaborative, community-based effort with a full range of public participation. This website is your source of information for participating in the planning process. Here you will find the latest information on the development of the RMP and the EIS, including background documents, maps, meeting announcements, published bulletins, and other documents.
