The planning area encompasses approximately 25,160 acres of public land managed by the Baker Resource Area, Vale District and located in Baker county in northeastern Oregon. Some of the alternatives include amendments to portions of the Baker RMP, which was originally approved in 1989.

Documents referenced in this DEIS may be examined at the Baker Resource Area Office during normal working hours. The Baker
