The Bureau of Land Management is revising the six western Oregon Resource Management Plans tiered to the Northwest Forest Plan. The revised plans (to be completed in the fall of 2008) will address public lands and resources managed by the Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Medford, and Coos Bay Districts and the Klamath Falls Resource Area of the Lakeview District. The planning area includes approximately 2,550,000 acres of public lands. About 2,100,000 of those acres are land revested from the Oregon and California Railroad and are managed under the O&C Lands Act of 1937.
The planning process began on September 7, 2005 with formal issue scoping. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement was available for public review from August 10, 2007 through January 11, 2008. More about public involvement activities >>>
A Science Team consisting of seven scientists and natural resource specialists from several federal and state agencies was formed in 2005 to provide scientific advice to the BLM to “enhance the quality and credibility of RMP revision analyses”.
