BLUERIBBON COALITION LANDUSE UPDATE!
Idaho BLM Developing Travel Management Plan For Owyhee County
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Boise District Office, is developing a Travel Management
Plan (TMP) for public land in Owyhee County, west of the Bruneau River, as required by the Omnibus
Public Land Management Act (OPLMA) of 2009.
The TMP will address all motorized routes on public land outside of the six designated wilderness areas. Decisions previously issued for the Wilson Creek Hemingway and Murphy sub-regions of the Owyhee Front will be carried forward into this plan.
The Boise District will host meetings to provide the public with opportunities to review the base maps to be used during the planning process. Meetings will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at these locations:
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
BLM Boise District Office
3948 Development Avenue
Boise, Idaho
Thursday, November 4, 2010
Nampa Convention Center
311 Third Street South
Nampa, Idaho
Tuesday, November 9, 2010
Rimrock High School
39678 State Highway 78
Grandview, Idaho
Wednesday, November 10, 2010
Owyhee Historical Museum
17085 Basey Street
Murphy, Idaho
The BLM is soliciting additional information to ensure a complete route inventory and seeks to identify public concerns to be addressed during planning. At the meetings, participants will be able to view interactive electronic maps where they will be able to make comments, verify locations, and view the latest information about the route.
The BLM appreciates the public’s cooperation in this effort to develop a TMP for public land in Owyhee County. Please contact TJ Clifford, Outdoor Recreation Planner, at 208-384-3459 for questions about the meetings.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.
Thanks in advance for your involvement,
