SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Gunnison Gorge NCA RMP/ROD was 

developed with broad public 

participation through a two-year 

collaborative planning process. This 

RMP/ROD addresses management on 

approximately 95,780 acres of public 

land in the planning area. The Gunnison 

Gorge NCA RMP/ROD is designed to 

achieve or maintain desired future 

conditions developed through the 

planning process. It includes a series of 

management actions to meet the desired 

resource conditions for upland and 

riparian vegetation, wildlife habitats, 

cultural and visual resources, livestock 

grazing, recreation, wilderness 

management, and special status species 

and habitat. 

The approved Gunnison Gorge NCA 

RMP is essentially the same as the 

Proposed Gunnison Gorge NCA RMP/

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(PRMP/FEIS), published on January 23, 

2004. BLM received 32 protests to the 

PRMP/FEIS. No inconsistencies with 

State or local plans, policies, or 

programs were identified during the 

Governor’s consistency review of the 

PRMP/FEIS. As a result, only minor 

editorial modifications were made in 

preparing the RMP/ROD. These 

modifications corrected errors that were 

noted during review of the PRMP/FEIS 

and provide further clarification for 

some of the decisions. An errata sheet 

is included with the RMP/ROD that 

identifies the location of the corrections 

in the PRMP/FEIS.

Dated: April 28, 2004. 

Doug Koza, 

Associate State Director.
