KLAMATH FALLS RESOURCE AREA PLANNING UPDATE 

Winter 2003 

The primary purpose of this Planning Update is to inform you about the activities on the Klarnath Falls 

Resource Area. It is my desire to keep you informed about issues, activities, and opportunities I think 

are important to the public. More importantly, I am seeking ideas and comments from those who may 

be affected by multiple-use management programs here on the resource area. 

This planning update is organized to make it easy for you to find projects of most interest. Projects 

have been arranged into categories (i.e., Recent Decisions, New Projects, On-going Projects, and 

Environmental Education Activities). In addition, each of these categories is sorted by resource topics 

(e.g., Lands Program, Timber Sales, etc.). The table will give you a brief description of activities 

occurring within the Klamath Falls Resource Area and for most projects a location. Refer to one of 

three maps following the table, for locations of projects. 

Additional information can be obtained fi-om the contact listed in the project descriptions. If you have 

any concerns about the proposed actions, please call the Klarnath Falls Resource Area and ask for the 

"Contact" person listed or the Resource Area Planner as soon as possible. The earlier you get 

involved, the more capability we have to adjust or change planned actions. Also be alert for news 

releases and public notices published in the Herald and News as projects reach stages for public 

involvement. If you want to provide comments to a specific environmental assessment, please send or 

deliver your written comments addressed to the Field Manager, Klamath Falls Resource Area, by the 

close of, or postmarked by the last day of the comment period. Your comments and concerns are 

welcomed, and could influence the final decision on these projects. 

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have regarding this plhing update or how 

it could be improved to make it more useful to you. 

Thank you for your continued interest in BLM's management of public lands. If you have any 

questions on this planning update, stop by the office or call (541) 883-6916.
