Notice of Availability of the Proposed San Juan/San Miguel Resource Management Plan Amendment and Final Environmental Impact Statement for a Proposed Ski Area Near Silverton, CO

Résumé

Pursuant to section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared a PRMP Amendment and FEIS for the proposed ski area. The proposed area lies in San Juan County, Colorado. The PRMP Amendment/FEIS provides direction and guidance for the management of public lands and resources of the ski area, as well as monitoring and evaluation requirements. The PRMP Amendment/FEIS would also amend the San Juan/San Miguel RMP (1985) for the affected lands in the planning area. Once approved in a Record of Decision (ROD), the Amended RMP would supercede all existing management plans for the public lands within the ski area.
