Description: This environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared to determine the impacts that would occur to the resources and uses of nine wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the Safford District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The nine WSAs included in this environmental impact statement (EIS) are in the Gila and San Simon Resource Areas of the Safford District in Cochise, Gila, Graham and Greenlee Counties, Arizona and Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The WSAs are Needle's Eye (AZ-040-1A), Black Rock (AZ-040-8), Fishhooks (AZ-040-14), Day Mine (AZ-040-16), Gila Box (AZ-040-22/23/24(A)), Turtle Mountain (AZ-040-22/23/24(B)), Javelina Peak (AZ-040-48), Peloncillo Mountains (AZ-040-60) and Dos Cabezas Mountains (AZ-040-65) ...
