COMMENTS DUE FEBRUARY 3

As many of you know, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is asking for public comments on issues that should be addressed as it begins developing a Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for public lands managed by the Redding and Arcata Field Offices.

The Northwest California Integrated Resource Management Plan (NCIP) will guide the agency in decision making on these public lands for the next 15 to 20 years. It affects about 400,000 acres of public land in Del Norte, Siskiyou, Shasta, Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity, Tehama, and Butte counties.

The NCIP will replace the resource management plans that were put into place in the mid-1990s for both field offices. It will incorporate current information on the status of the lands and resources managed by the BLM.

Sharetrails.Org/BRC knows that many of you are very busy, and for your convenience, we have drafted a simple template that you can use to develop your own individual comment letter. Feel free to use any portion of the sample letter using your own letterhead or business logo.

Send to the following email: NCIP_comments@aecom.com

The agency is looking for your views on current and future OHV opportunities. Feel free to comment on destination OHV areas such as Chappie-Shasta OHV Area and Samoa Dunes Recreation Area. You can also comment on more diverse OHV recreation at places such as the South Spit on Humboldt Bay and other areas.

It is important to identify potential new OHV recreational opportunities on checkerboard BLM lands along Highway 36 or in the Laytonville area, etc.

Again, comments must be in writing, and will be accepted until Feb. 3, 2017. Comments may be hand delivered or mailed to the BLM Redding Field Office, 6640 Lockheed Dr., Redding, CA, 96002, or emailed to NCIP_comments@aecom.com

More information is available online at https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front...tSite&projectId=63960&dctmId=0b0003e880bc935d.

Sharetrails.Org/BRC thanks you in advance for taking the time to be engaged in the planning process.

Happy Trails,

Don Amador
