Book Description
This draft resource management plan amendment and environmental impact statement has been prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with assistance from 21 cooperating agencies. It describes and analyzes four alternatives for managing approximately 741,700 acres of BLM administered land and nearly 1.35 million acres of BLM-administered subsurface federal mineral estate that may lie beneath other surface ownership. Surface estate and federal mineral estate is managed by seven BLM field offices (Grand Junction, Gunnison, San Luis Valley, Tres Rios and Uncompahgre in Colorado and Moab and Monticello in Utah), three national conservation areas (Dominguez-Escalante, Gunnison Gorge and McInnis Canyons) and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. The analysis area spans portions of 12 counties: Chaffee, Delta, Dolores, Gunnison, Hinsdale Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, Saguache, and San Miguel in Colorado and Grand and San Juan in Utah. The alternatives present a range of management actions to achieve the goal of Gunnison Sage-Grouse conservation for BLM Colorado and Utah.
