Notice of Intent To Amend the Upper 

Deschutes Resource Management Plan 

and Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment for a Proposed Recreation 

and Public Purposes Act Land 

Conveyance to the City of Redmond in 

Deschutes County, Oregon 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA), and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

Oregon/Washington (OR/WA) State 

Director intends to prepare a Resource 

Management Plan (RMP) amendment 

with an associated environmental 

assessment (EA) for the Upper 

Deschutes RMP (2005), and by this 

notice is announcing the beginning of 

the scoping period to solicit public 

comments, identify issues, and provide 

the planning criteria for public review. 

The planning process and EA are 

necessary to evaluate an application for 

a Recreation and Public Purposes Act 

(RPPA) conveyance that would allow 

the City of Redmond in Central Oregon 

to expand the Redmond Wastewater 

Expansion Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that the BLM 

OR/WA State Director intends to 

prepare an amendment to the Upper 

Deschutes RMP with an associated EA 

for the Redmond Wastewater Pollution 

Control Facility Project, announces the 

beginning of the scoping process, and 

seeks public input on issues and 

planning criteria. The planning process 

and EA are necessary to evaluate an 

application for a RPPA conveyance that 

would allow the City of Redmond in 

Deschutes County, Oregon to expand 

the Redmond Wastewater Pollution 

Control Facility. The RPPA conveyance 

would allow the City of Redmond to 

acquire 541.5 acres of BLMadministered lands within the 

Steamboat Rock Special Recreation 

Management Area (SRMA) as 

designated by the Upper Deschutes 

RMP. The conveyance of these public 

lands would require an amendment to 

the Upper Deschutes RMP. The scope of 

this land use planning process does not 

include addressing the evaluation or 

designation of Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACEC), and the 

BLM is not considering ACEC 

nominations as part of this process. 

Purpose and Need 

The purpose is to respond to the City 

of Redmond’s RPPA application to 

acquire 541.5 acres of BLMadministered land and to amend the 

Upper Deschutes RMP to allow for the 

proposed conveyance. The need to 

respond to the RPPA application arises 

from the RPPA, as amended, and section 

211 of FLPMA, which authorizes the 

conveyance of public lands to States 

and local governments. Both the RPPA 

and FLPMA recognize the need for a 

nationwide system of parks and other 

recreational and public purpose areas. 

The BLM has the authority to approve, 

approve with modification, or not 

approve the application. In order to 

authorize a conveyance of the lands 

identified, the BLM would need to 

amend the Upper Deschutes RMP 

because the area is currently designated 

as a SRMA. 

The purpose of the amendment is to 

change the boundary of the SRMA, the 

motorized and non-motorized access 

and recreation opportunities, and the 

associated trail system within the 

revised SRMA boundary in accordance 

with FLPMA and the principles of 

multiple use and sustained yield. 

Preliminary Alternatives 

The BLM is currently considering 

three preliminary alternatives. Under 

the No Action alternative, the BLM 

would not approve the City of 

Redmond’s RPPA application to acquire 

541.5 acres of BLM-administered land to 

allow for the expansion of its 

wastewater treatment facility, and the 

BLM would not amend the Upper 

Deschutes RMP. The Steamboat Rock 

SRMA would retain current access and 

recreational use. There would be no 

change to the existing 43 miles of 

motorized and non-motorized shared 

use trail system. 

Under the preliminary Proposed 

Action alternative, the BLM would 

amend the Upper Deschutes RMP and 

approve the City of Redmond’s RPPA 

application and convey 541.5 acres of 

BLM-administered land to allow for the 

expansion (construction and operation) 

of the wastewater treatment facility. As 

part of the conveyance process, a Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment would 

be conducted to ensure BLM 

compliance with section 120(h) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act. In addition, the City of Redmond 

would coordinate with the 

Environmental Protection Agency and 

other regulatory agencies to ensure the 

appropriate permits are obtained for the 

proposed use. 

The 541.5 acres, if conveyed to the 

City of Redmond, would no longer be a 

component of the Steamboat Rock 

SRMA. The removal of the 541.5 acres 

would change access and management 

of 5 miles of the motorized and nonmotorized shared use trail systems in 

the southeast corner of the area. The 

change would not affect the remaining 

38 miles of trails within the area. Access 

to the 38 miles of trail in the main block 

of the SRMA would remain open as a 

designated shared use trail system for 

motorized off-highway vehicles and 

non-motorized uses. The total acreage of 

the Steamboat Rock SRMA would be 

4,329 acres. 

Under the third preliminary 

alternative, the BLM would take the 

same actions described under the 

Proposed Action alternative and would 

additionally build 5 miles of trails to 

make up for those that could be lost 

under the Proposed Action within the 

remaining acreage of the Steamboat 

Rock SRMA. The replacement trails 

would be located outside of the 

approximately 492 acres of the 

Deschutes Wild and Scenic River 

corridor, which is within the western 

boundary of the SRMA. Under this 

alternative the trail miles in the 

remaining Steamboat Rock SRMA 

would be approximately 43 miles. 

The BLM welcomes comments on all 

preliminary alternatives as well as 

suggestions for additional alternatives. 

Planning Criteria 

The planning criteria guide the 

planning effort and lay the groundwork 

for effects analysis by identifying the 

preliminary issues and their analytical 

frameworks. Preliminary issues for the 

planning area have been identified by 

BLM personnel and from early 

engagement with Federal, State, and 

local agencies; Tribes; and stakeholders. 

The BLM has identified three 

preliminary issues for this planning 

effort’s analysis: ground and well water 

quality and quantity issues, cultural 

resource concerns, and available 

recreation uses and access issues. The 

planning criteria and a map are 

available for public review and 

comment at the ePlanning website (see 

ADDRESSES). 

Public Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping period and public review of the 

planning criteria, which guide the 

development and analysis of the RMP 

amendment and EA. 

The BLM does not intend to hold any 

public meetings, in-person or virtually, 

during the public scoping period. 

Should the BLM later determine to hold 

public meetings, the specific date(s) and 

location(s) of any meeting will be 

announced at least 15 days in advance 

through the media and the following 

methods. To inform the public of both 

the scoping period and any potential 

public meetings, a press release will be 

provided to two local television 

stations, six radio stations, five local 

newspapers, direct mailing to interested 

members of the public, and publication 

of documents to BLM’s ePlanning 

project page. 

After the scoping process, the BLM 

will prepare and circulate an EA for 

public review and comment.

Interdisciplinary Team 

The BLM will use an interdisciplinary 

approach to develop the plan in order 

to consider the variety of resource issues 

and concerns identified. Specialists 

involved in this planning effort include: 

wildlife biologist, hydrologist, botanist, 

archaeologist, recreation specialist, 

planning and environmental 

coordinator, and realty specialist. 

Additional Information 

The BLM will identify, analyze, and 

consider mitigation to address the 

reasonably foreseeable impacts to 

resources from the proposed plan 

amendment and reasonable alternatives 

and, in accordance with 40 CFR 

1502.14(e), include appropriate 

mitigation measures not already 

included in the proposed plan 

amendment or alternatives. Mitigation 

may include avoidance, minimization, 

rectification, reduction or elimination 

over time, and compensation, and may 

be considered at multiple scales, 

including the landscape scale. 

The BLM will utilize and coordinate 

the NEPA and land use planning 

processes for this planning effort to help 

support compliance with applicable 

procedural requirements under the 

Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 

1536) and Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 

306108) as provided in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3), including public 

involvement requirements of Section 

106. The information about historic and 

cultural resources and threatened and 

endangered species within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

plan will assist the BLM in identifying 

and evaluating impacts to such 

resources. 

The BLM will consult with Indian 

Tribal Nations on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with 

Executive Order 13175, BLM MS 1780, 

and other Departmental policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources, will be given due 

consideration. Federal, State, and local 

agencies, along with Indian Tribal 

Nations and stakeholders that may be 

interested in or affected by the proposed 

conveyance and Upper Deschutes RMP 

Amendment that the BLM is evaluating, 

are invited to participate in the scoping 

process and, if eligible, may request or 

be requested by the BLM to participate 

in the development of the RMP 

amendment and EA as a cooperating 

agency. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
