Monticello Draft RMP and EIS

The BLM Monticello Field Office encompasses 1.8 million acres is Southeastern Utah including the southern two-thirds of San Juan County with a small portion on the northern boundary within Grand County. 

The DRMP/DEIS presents five alternatives which take into consideration scoping comments received by other governmental agencies, public organizations, state, tribal entities and interested individuals. Public collaboration through the scoping process led to shaping of issues covering travel management, recreation, special designations, non-WSA lands with wilderness characteristics, minerals and other topics. The DRMP/DEIS analyzes alternatives to resolve management issues and determines management objectives and actions for BLM lands in the planning area.
