BLM Revising the
White Mountains National Recreation Area
Resource Management Plan
FAIRBANKS, AK…The Bureau of Land Management’s Eastern Interior Field Office
will hold a public meeting concerning the White Mountains National
Recreation Area on Wednesday, September 7th in the Fairbanks North Star
Borough Assembly Chambers from 7-9 PM. The Fairbanks North Star Borough
building is located at 809 Pioneer Road.
BLM is updating and amending the Resource Management Plan for the
recreation area focusing on summer Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) management.
Summer OHV access has changed considerably since the White Mountains
Resource Management Plan was prepared in 1986, and the existing plan
decisions may be amended somewhat to control long-term resource impacts.
BLM recreation planners will outline several management alternatives at the
meeting.
A Notice of Intent announcing the planning effort and a 60 day public
comment period was published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2005. A
public scoping meeting for the planning effort was held in Fairbanks on
April 20, 2005, to help identify issues and concerns about management
opportunities for the popular 1-million acre recreation area near
Fairbanks.
For more information about the planning process, the White Mountains
National Recreation Area, contact Lon Kelly, Outdoor Recreation Planner, at
907-474-2368 or visit the BLM Fairbanks District Office located at 1150
University Avenue in Fairbanks.
