I. Conclusion
This Conceptual Plan lays out the Stakeholder Group's progress to date and intentions for
additional data gathering, analysis and collaborative planning. The Stakeholder Group will
continue to work together throughout the summer and fall of 2008 to gather adequate
information to develop more specific elements and details of the Management Plan Alternative.
The Management Plan Alternative may provide enhancements that exceed Wild and Scenic
requirements. The Stakeholder Group urges the BLM to consider this Conceptual Plan as
adequate progress toward a Wild and Scenic Management alternative for inclusion in its
Resources Management Plan revision process. The Stakeholder Group intends to submit
additional information to BLM as needed to satisfy NEPA requirements supporting issuance of
the Draft EIS, which is tentatively scheduled for the winter of 2008/2009. The goal of the
Stakeholder Group is to complete the detailed final Management Plan Alternative for submission
to and consideration by BLM prior to its issuance of a Final EIS and Record of Decision on the
final plan.
