Analysis of the Management Situation: Eastern Washington and San Juan Resource Management Plan

摘要

The Spokane District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has begun the process of revising the Spokane Resource Management Plan (RMP; USDI BLM 1987), which directs the use, protection, and enhancement of resources on BLM-administered public lands (public lands) managed by the Spokane District in eastern Washington. In addition, the new RMP will incorporate BLM-administered lands in the San Juan Archipelago, which is not currently covered by an RMP. The new RMP will be called the Eastern Washington and San Juan RMP. Decisions in land use plans guide future land management actions and subsequent site-specific implementation decisions. Land use plan decisions establish goals and objectives for resource management (desired outcomes) and the measures needed to achieve these goals and objectives (management actions and allowable uses). This analysis of the management situation (AMS) is the first step in the BLMs land use planning process. This document is organized to achieve the purpose which is described in section 1.1. Section 1.2 provides a general description of the planning area. Chapter 2 describes the current conditions of the resources, resource uses, special designations, and socioeconomic conditions of the planning and decision areas. Chapter 3 describes the current management situation, while Chapter 4 examines if the current management situation is responsive to current issues and discusses new management opportunities.
