Resource Management Plan Amendment |
||||||||||||||
|
Preliminary issues identified for the Fortification Creek amendment include:
- Whether to manage a proposed Area of Critical Environmental Concern area formally as an ACEC.
- Whether overhead power should be allowed to Federal surface where it is currently restricted.
- Whether to continue the RMP management objectives for any or all of the resource values identified for the FCA (steep slopes, erosive soils, elk habitat, archaeological/paleontological resources, visual resources) and the geographical extent of the identified resource values.
- Whether to identify tracts for an exchange for the State owned surface and minerals.
BLM is requesting public comments to identify relevant issues. Useful comments are those that are specific, identify additional relevant issues, and/or determine the extent of the relevant issues. Comments will be accepted through November 10, 2007.
Written comments submitted by mail should be sent to the BLM Buffalo Field Office, Attention Thomas Bills, Project Manager 1425 Fort Street, Buffalo, Wyoming 82834. Comments may also be sent to facsimile to the attention: Thomas Bills at 307-684-1122; or sent electronically to: Fort_Crk_WYMail@blm.gov.
Your comments are important and will be considered in the environmental analysis process. If you comment, your name will be added to a mailing list in order to provide you with the future information regarding the Fortification Creek amendment.
BLM will provide additional opportunities for public participation during the development of the Fortification Creek Amendment/EA.
