BLUERIBBON COALITION LANDUSE UPDATE!
BLM Announces Open House Scheduled for Havasu Travel Management Planning
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lake Havasu Field Office has just announced a public open house for August 18, 2010, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The open house will be held at the Lake Havasu City Parks and Recreation Department Aquatic Center, 100 Park Avenue, to discuss the Havasu Travel Management Plan. Residents and interested parties are encouraged to attend.
The open house will be informal with BLM staff specialists on hand to answer questions. There will be maps of the study area and comment forms as well.
The Havasu Travel Management Planning area generally includes public lands in the Lake Havasu Field Office south of Interstate 40 (both sides of the Colorado River), extending to five to seven miles north of the Bill Williams River. The Havasu Unit is the second of six Units contained in the Lake Havasu Field Office.
The open house will also mark the start of the public scoping period for the Havasu Travel Management Plan and Environmental Assessment. The Assessment will evaluate all of the motorized and non-motorized routes of travel and their affected resources in the current inventory of existing routes in the study area. The Assessment will have three transportation route network alternatives designating each route as open, limited or closed. Written comments for consideration during the Assessment preparation must be received by BLM by close of business on Friday, September 17, 2010. Comments may also be faxed to (928) 505-1208 or emailed to lake_havasu@blm.gov.
Copies of the maps will be available for review online on August 15, 2010, at the Lake Havasu Field Office website at http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/fo/lake_havasu_field.html or by contacting Myron McCoy, Outdoor Recreation Planner at the BLM Lake Havasu Field Office, 2610 Sweetwater, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86406; Telephone (928) 505-1216.
