Yuma, Ariz. - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Yuma Field Office Lower Colorado River (LCR) Travel Management Plan (TMP) public scoping period has been extended until May 15.
“We have decided to extend the public scoping period so the public can have sufficient time to review the route networks and continue to provide comments and information,” said BLM Yuma Field Manager John MacDonald.
The public may participate by reviewing the information online and submitting comments to the BLM.
Written scoping comments about the plan will be accepted through May 15. Comments postmarked by this date will be considered in the development of the environmental assessment (EA). Scoping comments should be as specific as possible to be most effective. Comments should be mailed to BLM Yuma Field Office, Attention: Ray Castro; 7341 E. 30th Street, Suite A; Yuma, Arizona 85365; or through email to blm_az_ym_trails@blm.gov.

The LCR TMP/EA includes the areas of Laguna Mountains, Trigo Mountains, and Big Maria Mountains and encompasses the communities of Ehrenberg, Cibola, Blythe, Palo Verde, Yuma, and Imperial within Imperial and Riverside counties in California and La Paz and Yuma counties in Arizona.
