Vernal Field Office RMP Supplemental
The Vernal Field Office RMP/EIS presented four alternatives for managing the public lands (BLM administered lands) and their resources and analyzed the effects of each management approach on the human environment. None of these alternatives, however, addressed managing non-WSA lands with wilderness characteristics to protect the wilderness character. Consequently, this Supplement identifies those non-WSA lands the BLM has found to possess wilderness characteristics and analyzes a fifth alternative, Alternative E, that emphasizes managing all of those lands to preserve and protect their wilderness characteristics.
