Notice of Intent To Amend Book Cliffs

Resource Management Plan, Vernal

District, Utah With Coordinated

Resource Management Plan/

Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

coordinated resource management plan/

environmental assessment that will

amend the Book Cliffs Resource

Management Plan to include

management of the area covered by the

Book Cliffs Conservation Initiative,

including recently acquired lands.

SUMMARY: This notice is intended to

inform the public of an intent to prepare

a coordinated resource management

plan/environmental assessment (CRMP/

EA) that addresses future management

of lands within the Book Cliffs

Initiative, including the lands acquired

by the Bureau of Land Management

(BLM), within the Book Cliffs area of the

Vernal District for the purpose of

amending the Book Cliffs Resource

Management Plan (RMP). Public

comment will be actively solicited

throughout the CRMP/EA and

amendment development processes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1993 a

partnership was formed between the

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

(UDWR), The Nature Conservancy

(TNC), the Rocky Mountain Elk

Foundation (RMEF), and the BLM. The

objective of such a partnership was to

take advantage of existing opportunities

to create a balanced approach to the

management of unique natural resources

within the upper portion of the East

Tavaputs Plateau, in southeastern

Uintah County, Utah. The partnership,

entitled the Book Cliffs Conservation

Initiative, deals with that portion of the

Book Cliffs within the area between the

Uintah-Ouray Indian Reservation trust

lands to the west and the Utah-Colorado

state line to the east, an area

encompassing roughly 455,000 acres.

In 1993 and 1994, two private ranches

then on the market within the Initiative

area, were acquired by TNC and RMEF

with the intent of vesting the title to

either the State of Utah or the United

States. In 1994, the BLM was vested

with title to 5,129 acres, about 53%, of

these acquired lands. As public lands

administered by the BLM, future

management of these lands must be

developed and incorporated into the

existing Book Cliffs RMP. The CRMP/

EA/RMPA will be developed by the

BLM in concert with the UDWR, other

State and Federal agencies, Uintah

County, local government entities, and

the general public. At this time general

planning issues to be addressed include:

1. Maintain a sustained balance of

forage between livestock and wildlife.

2. Define and develop a future forage

allocation process that will achieve

wildlife, watershed, and riparian goals

using the existing grazing authorizations

as a starting point. Also address

management of wild horses.
