development, subject to valid existing

rights. The level of these various kinds

of restrictions and types of land uses

affected would be different in each

expanded area.

There are seven WSAs within the

planning area: Oregon Buttes,

Honeycomb Buttes, Greater Sand Dunes,

Buffalo Hump, Whitehorse Creek, South

Pinnacles, and Alkali Draw WSAs.

Management of these WSAs has been

addressed in other Wilderness EIS

documents, therefore, wilderness

management is not addressed in the

JMHCAP EIS. When Congress makes

decisions on the designation of

Wilderness areas in the Jack Morrow

Hills planning area, those decisions will

be incorporated into the CAP and the

Green River RMP and, if necessary, the

RMP would be amended accordingly.

Until Congress acts, the WSAs will be

managed under the Wilderness Interim

Management Policy.

Copies of the draft EIS for the

JMHCAP are available in the Rock

Springs Field Office at the above

address, the Bureau of Land

Management, Lander Field Office, 1335

Main Street, Lander, Wyoming 82520,

and the Bureau of Land Management
