The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ensures that the BLM (and other Federal Agencies) considers the impact of an action on the quality of the human environment before decisions are made and the action is taken. NEPA-related documents are required to concentrate on significant issues.
The NEPA process is intended to help public officials make better decisions based on an understanding of environmental consequences, and take actions that protect, restore, and enhance the quality of the human environment.
NEPA Document Search
The NEPA document library contains documents relevant to the BLM planning projects throughout Oregon and Washington.
Documents can be searched by fiscal year, district, program area, and document type via the NEPA Document Search form.

RMPs for Western Oregon
The BLM Oregon is initiating a resource management plan (RMP) revisions which will provide goals, objectives, and direction for the management of approximately 2.6 million acres of BLM-administered lands in western Oregon. The planning area consists of the Coos Bay, Eugene, Medford, Roseburg, and Salem Districts, as well as the Klamath Falls Resource Area of the Lakeview District. more >>
RMP Evaluation Report for Western Oregon Districts
The Resource Management Plan Evaluation Report for Western Oregon Districts covers the Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Coos Bay and Medford districts as well as the Klamath Falls Resource Area in the Lakeview District. The six western Oregon BLM units manage these 2.5 million acres under the 1995 Western Oregon Resource Management Plans, and were last evaluated in 2004. The 2012 plan evaluation found a need for changes in the timber and wildlife programs and minor changes to other BLM-administered programs. The evaluation report indicates a plan revision is appropriate for BLM's western Oregon plans to comprehensively review the mix of resource uses and protections and adjust RMP objectives and associated land use allocations and management direction. more >>
John Day Basin Resource Management Plan
The Bureau of Land Management is developing a new Resource Management plan for lands managed by the BLM within the John Day Basin. This new plan will revise and consolidate three Resource Management Plans that provide current guidance within the John Day Basin: The Two Rivers Resource Management Plan (1986), the John Day Resource Management Plan (1985), and the Baker Resource Management Plan (1989). more >>
Baker Resource Management Plan
The Baker Resource Management Plan will provide a comprehensive framework for managing and allocating public land and resources in the Baker Resource Area for the next 10 or more years. The RMP willserve as a master plan from which future, more site-specific analysis and decisions will be made regarding allowable, conditional or prohibited uses and activities. more >>
Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument
This Land Use plan sets forth the final direction for managing the 52,947 acres of BLM lands in southwestern Oregon.

Previous Planning Efforts
Western Oregon Plan Revision
On May 16, 2012, the U.S. District Court, District of Oregon (Pacific Rivers Council et al v. Shepard) vacated the 2008 Records of Decision/Resource Management Plans for western Oregon BLM districts and reinstated BLM's 1995 RODs/RMPs.
