Welcome to the North Dakota RMP Website Planning Overview Information Current RMP The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is developing a new resource management plan (RMP) for public lands and mineral estates in North Dakota. The plan, known as the North Dakota Resource Management Plan, will provide future direction for approximately 58,000 surface acres and over 4.1 million acres of mineral estate (subsurface acres) in the state.
