Moab RMP Draft Open for Comment

[greenjeep]

The BLM's Moab Field Office has released their Draft Resource Management Plan (DRMP) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The combined document is available for download at: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/planning.html.

This document will determine how recreation is permitted in the Moab area for the next 20+ years.

Here is a link to there "Dear Reader" page:

Thanks Dave!

There will also be 4 meetings, and I hope we can get hundreds of OHV (and especially 4x4) users at each meeting.

http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/planning/get_involved.html

Moab: 9/25
Monticello: 9/26
Grand Junction: 9/27
Salt Lake City 10/3

If you haven’t already donated to BRC for the Moab RMP analysis and research work, here’s the link if you are interested in helping with this financially:

It’s easy to become a Moab Partner for $10/month.

As Dave mentioned, this will govern how motorized recreation is managed in Moab fore the next 20+ years! So hopefully everyone will get involved and send in comments
