BLM Hosts
Public Workshops on Yuma Resource Management Plan
The Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) Yuma Field Office will host four
public workshop meetings to provide the public the opportunity to learn
more about the resource management planning process underway for the
Yuma Resource Management Plan (RMP) and an associated Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The meetings will also allow the public to
provide input into the formulation of alternative management
strategies. Each public meeting will begin with a brief overview of the
RMP/EIS process. The balance of each session will be focus on receiving
input from the public on areas of concern that surfaced during the
public comment period last summer. Discussion topics will include
transportation, recreation, biological resources, and land tenure.
