Preparation of Several Wilderness Management Plans and Associated Environmental Documents and Invitation To Participate in the Identification of Issues

Notice is hereby given of intent to prepare several wilderness management plans. This notice also constitutes the scoping notice required by the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.7). (1) Description of proposed planning action: In accordance with Bureau of Land Management wilderness management policy guidance, Wilderness Management Plans will be developed for six wilderness areas. Because several of the areas share similar issues or are in close proximity with each other, the six areas will be covered by three wilderness management plans: one for the Tres Alamos Wilderness, one for the Signal Mountain and Woolsey Peak Wildernesses, and one for the Harquahala Mountains, Hummingbird Springs and Bighorn Mountains Wildernesses. An Environmental Assessment of the impacts of the proposed actions and alternatives will be prepared prior to approval of each plan. The plans will state policies, actions and monitoring standards to be used to maintain each area's wilderness resources and will consider issues and alternatives identified through a number of public forums including scoping meetings. The public is invited to participate in scoping meetings beginning in October 1994. (
