Date: 12/23/2008 BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
BLM Extends Comment Period For Dry Creek Area Travel Planning
The Bureau of Land Management, Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO), has extended the comment period for an additional 30 days to provide added opportunity for the public to review the travel management plan preferred alternative for the Dry Creek area. The new travel plan will create designated routes within the 115,000-acre Dry Creek planning area.
As you know, the BLM initiated this travel planning process last spring. Since that time, UFO staff has been hard at work considering public scoping comments to develop a range of alternatives and a preferred alternative for seven travel management areas, or sub-regions, established for planning purposes. BLM is seeking additional public comment through Jan. 14, 2009, to ensure public input and review of the preferred alternative.
The 115,000-acre Dry Creek planning area is defined by the U.S. Forest Service boundary on the west, private land on the east, 25 Mesa Road (Delta-Nucla Road) on the north, and Dave Wood Road on the south. Travel planning in this area addresses all modes of travel including: motorized, mechanized, equestrian and hiking routes.
Planning documents will be available for review at the Montrose Public Lands Center, 2505 S. Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO, as well as on-line at http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo.html.
