Planning

Oregon/Washington Planning Area Map

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ensures that the BLM 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.

As of October 1, 2015, the BLM now hosts all of our current and ongoing planning documents on the new ePlanning site. This site allows you to search for projects by geographic location, project resource type, year, and other project-specific fields.

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 Archive

All of BLM's planning documents prior to October 2015, can be found in the Oregon/Washington NEPA document library. Documents can be searched by fiscal year, district, program area, and document type via the NEPA Archive Document Search.

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. As of May 16, 2012, the western Oregon Districts have reverted back to the 1995 ROD/RMP as the official land use plan of record.
