Cline Buttes Recreation Area Plan

Cline Buttes Recreation Area

The Deschutes Resource Area of the Prineville District, Bureau of Land Management has worked with the public to develop a Recreation Area Design/Environmental Assessment for the Cline Buttes Recreation Area.

The Cline Buttes Recreation Area design is tiered to the Upper Deschutes Resource Management Plan (UDRMP), completed in 2005. The Cline Buttes Recreation Area design will provide long-term (10 years and beyond) management actions specifically for the Cline Buttes Recreation Area, a portion of the High Desert Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) (PDF) designated in the Upper Deschutes Resource Management Plan.

Environmental Assessment Now Available

The Cline Buttes Recreation Area Plan Environmental Assessment (EA) is now available for public comment. The document and maps can be viewed or downloaded from the Cline Buttes Recreation Area Plan Environmental Assessment page, or you can request a CD and map packet, or a print version of the EA by contacting the BLM at the address below. If you already requested a copy, you will be receiving it shortly.

Alternative 2 is the proposed action, which our interdisciplinary team feels best resolves the identified issues. If you feel the proposed action should be changed, please tell us specifically how you would change it and why.

The public comment period closes December 4, 2009. Public comments should be mailed to the Prineville BLM at the address below or emailed to: clinebuttes@blm.gov
