EL CENTRO, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management El Centro Field Office is seeking public comment on proposed upgrades and modifications at McCain Valley campgrounds, within the McCain Valley Recreation Management Zone in eastern San Diego County, near the town of Boulevard. The 30-day public comment period will end on June 5.
The BLM is looking at modifying sustainable camping opportunities at Lark Canyon Campgrounds, Lark Canyon Day Use Area, and Cottonwood Campgrounds, while improving the protection of natural, cultural, and recreational resources in McCain Valley.
Improvements may include upgrading water systems and developed campsites to accommodate the increased interest in overnight recreational activities.
Public comments will help the BLM determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis. All comments will be considered during preparation of the environmental assessment.
Written comments may be submitted via email to: aswilliams@blm.gov, or by mail to: Bureau of Land Management, Attn: Alexia Williams, 1661 S. 4th St., El Centro, CA 92243. More details can be found at https://bit.ly/35lDrNJ.
