Notice of Availability; Royal Gorge

Resource Area Approved Resource

Management Plan and Record of

Decision

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The Canon City District

provides announces the availability of

the approved Resource Management

Plan (RMP) and Record of Decision

(ROD) for the Royal Gorge Resource

Area. This RMP/ROD supersedes the

existing management framework plans

and other related documents for

managing BLM-administered public

lands located in southeastern Colorado.

The approved RMP contains decisions

for managing 653,000 acres of Federal

surface estate and 2,566,000 acres of

Federal subsurface mineral estate within

Baca, Bent, Chaffee, Crowley, Custer, El

Paso, Fremont, Huerfano, Kiowa, Lake,

Las Animas, Otero, Park, Prowers,

Pueblo and Teller Counties.

DATES: The effective date of the RMP/

ROD was May 13, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the RMP/ROD are

available upon request by writing to the

Bureau of Land Management, Royal

Gorge Resource Area, 3170 East Main

Street, Canon City, CO 81212 or by

calling (719) 269–8500.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Levi

Deike, Area Manager or Pete Zwaneveld,

Land-Use Planner at the above address

and phone number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Royal

Gorge RMP/ROD is essentially the same

as the Royal Gorge Proposed Resource

Management Plan and Final

Environmental Impact Statement

(PRMP). No changes to the proposed

decisions have been made. Some

clarifying language, however, has been

included as a result of four protests that

were received on the PRMP. Approval

of the plan resulted in the designation

of nine Areas of Critical Environmental

Concern (ACEC). The following lists the

ACECs, the acreage designated, and the

area’s significant resources: (1) Arkansas

Canyonlands—23,921 acres—botanical,

cultural, recreational, visual and

wildlife resources; (2) Beaver Creek—

12,081 acres—recreational, visual and

wildlife resources; (3) Browns Canyon—

11,697 acres—cultural, recreational,

visual and wildlife resources; (4)

Cucharas Canyon—1,866 acres—

cultural, riparian and visual resources;

(5) Droney Gulch—705 acres—sensitive

plants; (6) Garden Park—2,728 acres—

cultural, paleontological, riparian and

wildlife resources and sensitive plants;

(7) Grape Creek—15,978 acres—

riparian, recreational, visual and

wildlife resources; (8) Mosquito Pass—

4,036 acres—visual resources and

sensitive plants; and (9) Phantom

Canyon—6,096 acres—cultural,

recreational, riparian, visual and

wildlife resources.

Special management will be provided

to minimize surface disturbing activities

(e.g., motorized vehicle limitations,

mineral development restrictions, etc.)

that would adversely affect the

significant values within these nine

areas. Integrated Activity Plans will be

prepared to detail these protective

measures.

Acting District Manager.
