Hikers cool off in a waterfall in the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area/Dominguez Canyon Wilderness. On Monday, the Bureau of Land Management began the 90-day public comment period on the Draft Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the wilderness area. The plan will provide a framework to guide management decisions on approximately 210,000 acres administered by the BLM in Delta, Mesa and Montrose counties. The plan analyzes five alternatives covering all aspects of BLM resource management within the conservation area boundaries, including recreation, travel management, resource protection, wildlife habitat, special designations and livestock grazing. The public can stop by anytime between 4:30-7:30 p.m. for an open house Wednesday at the Bill Heddles Recreation Center in Delta.
To be considered, comments must be received by Aug. 22. The BLM will use the public comments to help develop a plan scheduled for release in May 2014. For additional information, contact Christopher B. Joyner, public affairs specialist, at 970-244-3097.
