SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

SPRNCA was established by Public Law 

100–696 on November 18, 1988. The 

planning area is located in Cochise 

County in southeastern Arizona, and 

encompasses approximately 55,990 

acres of public land administered by the 

BLM TFO. The SPRNCA is located 

adjacent to the City of Sierra Vista and 

is near Fort Huachuca, Arizona. 

The SPRNCA is currently managed 

under the Safford District RMP (1992 

and 1994), which incorporated RMP 

level decisions from the San Pedro River 

Riparian Management Plan (1989). This 

planning effort would update 

management guidance from the 

previous plans and create a new RMP 

for the SPRNCA. The planning effort is 

needed to identify goals, objectives, and 

management actions for the SPRNCA’s 

resources and uses identified in the 

enabling legislation, including aquatic; 

wildlife; archaeological; paleontological; 

scientific; cultural; educational; and 

recreational resources and values. 

The BLM used public scoping 

comments to help identify planning 

issues that directed the formulation of 

alternatives and framed the scope of 

analysis in the Draft RMP/Draft EIS. 

Issues identified included management 

of water, vegetation, and soil resources, 

fire management, Threatened and 

Endangered species management, 

livestock grazing, access, recreation, 

socio-economics, and lands and realty. 

The planning effort also considers lands 

with wilderness characteristics, wild 

and scenic rivers, and Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACECs). 

The Draft RMP/Draft EIS evaluates 

four alternatives in detail. Alternative A 

is the No Action Alternative, which is 

a continuation of current management 

in the existing Safford District RMP and 

San Pedro River Riparian Management 

Plan. It is a continuation of current 

public use, resource protection, and 

conservation prescriptions without 

change. It neither sets desired outcomes 

for resource management or most uses, 

nor addresses new issues unforeseen or 

nonexistent when the Safford District 

RMP was prepared. Alternative B 

provides opportunities for increased 

public access, includes livestock grazing 

in sensitive riparian and cultural areas, 

allows recreation uses, and focuses on 

active resource management using the 

broadest array of management tools. 

This would include use of heavy 

equipment, herbicide, hand tools, and 

prescribed fire to achieve goals and 

objectives, to mitigate any effects from 

increased use, and for ecosystem 

restoration. Alternative B places an 

emphasis on opportunities for 

motorized access. Alternative C is the 

BLM’s preferred alternative. Alternative 

C represents a balance between resource 

protection and public access, authorizes 

livestock grazing in areas compatible 

with the established conservation 

values, and provides for a diverse mix 

of recreation opportunities. As in 

Alternative B, Alternative C focuses on 

active resource management and would 

allow for use of the broadest array of 

management tools for ecosystem 

restoration and to meet goals and 

objectives. Alternative D emphasizes 

resource protection and conservation. It 

emphasizes primitive recreational 

experiences with limited motorized 

access, protection of wilderness 

characteristics, ACECs, and 

management of the San Pedro and 

Babocomari Wild and Scenic Rivers. It 

focuses on natural processes and use of 

‘‘light on the land’’ management 

methods, such as the use of hand tools 

and prescribed fire, to help meet goals 

and objectives. 

Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.7–2(b), this 

notice announces a concurrent public 

comment period for potential ACECs. 

There are three existing ACECs under 

Alternative A, and three expanded and 

two new potential ACECs under 

Alternative D. ACECs are not proposed 

under Alternatives B and C. Pertinent 

information regarding these ACECs, 

including proposed designation acreage 

and resource use limitations are listed
