OG[j~gS The absence in the proposed plan of analysis of the suitahility of segments of the Yampa River (contained in the national inventory list) for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River system was also protested. The protesting party suggested a supplement to the proposed RMP/FEIS or a new draft be issued. The BLM will, however, schedule the necessary study and analysis when funds are available. Funding has been requested in the 1990- 91 hudget documents. A Revised Proposed RMP was prepared to clarify the management descriptions. No decisions were changed in the Revised Proposed RMP. The revised RMP received two protests. One protest was received from the Northwest Colorado Ranchers' Association and one protest was received from the Colorado River Water Conservation District. No new issues were raised by the protestors. These protests have also been resolved hy the BLM Director. The Little Snake RMP provides an optimum multiple- use mix by halancing conflicts and providing for a variety of uses. It provides the necessary constraints for protecting renewable resources from irreversible decline, while accommodating production of minerals, livestock grazing, off-road vehicles, recreation, and other uses.
