Scoping Remains Open for Resource Management Plan Revision
Public scoping remains open through April 4 for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rock Springs Resource Management Plan (RMP) revision and associated environmental impact statement (EIS).
BLM seeks public input to identify impacts, develop planning criteria and evaluate existing land use decisions. To help the public frame comments, posters and handouts presented at scoping meetings earlier this month in Lander, Lyman, Rock Springs, and Farson, Wyo. are available online: www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/programs/Planning/rmps/RockSprings.html.
Comments are most useful when they are specific, cite additional relevant issues and/or determine the extent of those issues. Scoping comments may be submitted via email, mail, or hand-delivery during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.):

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
