The Bureau of Land Management Buffalo Field Office has announced it is seeking public comments as it evaluates its 2015 Buffalo Resource Management Plan (RMP).
The Buffalo BLM Office is inviting the public to submit comments on the draft evaluation report. The report assesses the existing Buffalo RMP to determine whether current mitigation measures are satisfactory; whether there has been significant change in the related plans of other federal agencies, state or local governments, or Indian tribes; or whether there is new data of significance to the plan. Findings from the evaluation may be used to initiate plan maintenance, RMP amendments, or a plan revision.
According to the BLM, a Record of Decision for the Buffalo RMP was approved on September 21, 2015. The RMP provides a framework for managing approximately 780,000 acres of federal surface lands and 4.8 million acres of federal mineral estate in Campbell, Johnson and Sheridan counties, Wyoming.
The deadline to submit comments is April 11, 2022. After comments are reviewed and incorporated, the final evaluation report will be made available.
Readers can access the draft evaluation report and the Buffalo RMP, and submit comments, by visiting the BLM ePlanning website by clicking here.
Comments may also be submitted by email to tbills@blm.gov with the subject line “RMP Evaluation” or by mail to the following physical address: BLM Buffalo Field Office, Attn: Thomas Bills, 1425 Fort Street, Buffalo, WY 82834.
