Book Description
The purpose of this Resource Management Plan (RMP) is to make decisions that guide future land management actions and site-specific implementation decisions. The need for the Central Yukon RMP plan grew to address changes in resources, circumstances, laws, policies, and regulations in the planning area since the existing plans were developed in the 1980s and early 1990s. Five action alternatives are discussed. Although the planning area covers 56 million acres comprising various landowners, the decisions of this RMP will apply only to the 13.1 million acres managed by BLM. Roughly speaking, the planning area includes lands of the central North Slope Borough lying between the National Petroleum Reserve and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, most of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline corridor from Beaufort Sea to Delta Junction, and a wide area tht lies between the Brook and Alaska ranges from as far west as Kaltag eastward to the Dalton and Richardson highways.
