Description: "The West Mojave Planning Area for this project is located in Southern California, and comprises approximately 9.4 million acres of land. The BLM administers approximately 3.1 million acres of public lands within this Planning Area. The West Mojave Route Network Project is guided by a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, which is a Resource Management Plan Amendment to the 1980 California Desert Conservation Area Plan, and as amended by the 2006 West Mojave Plan, and the 2016 Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan. The WMRNP specifically amends the decisions in the 2006 West Mojave Plan Amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area Plan for the planning and resource management of a transportation and travel network and livestock grazing on public lands within the West Mojave Planning Area. The WMRNP includes implementation-level decisions, such as a transportation and travel network, which designates specific routes of travel in the planning area, and related travel management plans that will include implementation strategies. When approved, the WMRNP will supplement the 2006 West Mojave Plan and will guide the management of transportation and travel management in the West Mojave Planning Area into the future"--BLM website project page.
