Socorro, N.M. - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Albuquerque District Resource Advisory Council (RAC) will meet on May 1, 2017, at the Socorro Field Office, 901 South Old Hwy 85, Socorro, New Mexico, from 9:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. All RAC meetings are open to the public.
The 10-member RAC provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management issues, within the BLM Albuquerque District Office, which includes the Rio Puerco and Socorro Field Offices. RAC members are citizens who represent public land interests associated with both Field Offices and may also advise the Albuquerque District Office.
Planned agenda items include an introduction of new RAC members, an update on the Planning 2.0 rule, updates on resource management, the law enforcement program, and responsibilities in both Rio Puerco and Socorro Field Offices. A half-hour public comment period will begin at 11:00 a.m., during which the public may address the Council. Depending on the number of individuals wishing to comment and time available, oral comments may be limited.
For any other information about the upcoming RAC meeting, please contact Jack River at 505-761-8755, or by e-mail at jriver@blm.gov.
