MONTICELLO, Utah—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Monticello Field Office is seeking public comment on an environmental assessment (EA) analyzing a proposed ROW application for road repair from San Juan County. The purpose of the proposed ROW is to authorize San Juan County to re-route a portion of Red Canyon Road (B-259) to address continued road damage from floods and facilitate maintenance. The proposed re-route consists of about 1,800 feet of dirt road about 18 feet wide (12 foot travel surface).
An electronic copy of the EA can be found online. Comments can be submitted online through ePlanning, under the "Document" tab.
Comments will be accepted through close of business Oct. 20, 2016. Please note that the most useful comments are those that identify issues relevant to the proposed action or contain new technical or scientific information. Comments that contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response, but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process.
