Book Description

This Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) discusses resource management on approximately 1 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the Salt Lake District. This RMP/EIS analyzes the consequences of implementing the various components of four alternatives. The alternatives address four resource issues: (1) landownership conflicts, (2) vegetation management, (3) mineral development, and (4) off-road vehicle use. The document focuses on impacts to minerals, vegetation, livestock grazing, water and watershed, soils, wildlife, forest products, recreation, cultural resources, and socio-economics. A detailed description of the affected environment and the analysis of impacts which would result from each alternative are identified.
