BLM Uncompahgre Releases Proposed Travel Planning Decision  

Montrose, CO -- The Bureau of Land Management Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO) has released a proposed Decision Record to change Off-Highway Vehicle designations on public lands in the Uncompahgre Field Office.

This is the final step in the decision-making process for revising travel management designations. In this step the UFO proposes to amend the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Management Plan and San Juan/San Miguel Resource Management Plan (RMPs). The new plan will limit motorized and mechanized use to existing roads and trails.

The public has until March 26, 2010, to protest the changes.

Starting in the spring of 2007, BLM worked with the public and interested user groups to develop updated travel designations. Comments were gathered and considered as the proposed changes were developed. In addition, another public comment period was held in 2008 to ensure public input. More comments were gathered during that period that helped shape the final plan.

The Uncompahgre Field Office Travel Management Plan Amendment is available for review at the Montrose Public Lands Center, 2465 S. Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO, as well as on-line at http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo.htmlcotmpufo@blm.gov, or go online at http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo.html.

For further information or to request a copy of the plan, contact the Montrose Public Lands Center front desk or Julie Jackson, Outdoor Recreation Planner at  (970) 240-5300; or send an e-mail to cotmpufo@blm.gov.
