<br />00:758 <br /> <br />TOPICS ADDRESSED <br />IN THE PLAN <br /> <br />This plan dermes and addresses the issues identified by BLM, <br />other agencies, and the public. These issues, or topics, <br />addressed in this plan were refined and presented to the <br />public for comments. After comments were received, the <br />topics were again refined and finalized, then planning criteria <br />were developed for each topic. These topics were separated <br />into three categories and are defined as: <br /> <br />Issues with conflicts-topics are controversial and have <br />alternatives. <br /> <br />Important management concerns-topics that are either <br />controversial or have alternatives, but not both. <br /> <br />Other considerations-topics that are neither controversial <br />nor different between alternatives, but need to be addressed <br />in the planning analysis. <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Issues with conflicts and important management concerns <br />are summarized in Tables I-I and 1-2, <br /> <br />Details on planning criteria are in Appendix A. <br /> <br />Other Considerations <br /> <br />The following topics are neither controversial nor are they <br />expected to vary appreciably among ajternatives, <br /> <br />Noise Energy <br />Topography Water <br />Air Quality Withdrawals <br />Soils Vegetation <br />Transportation Waterpower/Storage <br /> <br />The criteria for these considerations are generic. Criteria <br />relate each consideration to the RMP Issues with Conflict <br />and Important Management Concerns, propose actions <br />peculiar to each consideration that would aid in addressing <br />these issues and concerns, and comply with needs of other <br />regulatory, judicial, or statutory requirements. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Table 1-1 <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF ISSUES WITH CONFLICTS <br /> <br />Tople <br /> <br />Management Aetlon <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Land Tenure Adjustment <br /> <br />Rights-of-Way Management <br /> <br />Public Land Access <br /> <br />Off Highway Vehicle Use <br /> <br />Suitability for Exploration/ <br />Development of Mineral <br />Resources <br /> <br />Special Management <br />Designations <br /> <br />Identify lands suitable for acquisition or <br />disposal. <br /> <br />Designate lands suitable, suitable with <br />limitations, or unsuitable for ROW <br />management to minimize conflicts between <br />ROW use and other resources. <br /> <br />Provide access to public lands for public and <br />administrative purposes to improve <br />ublization of the lands and resources, <br /> <br />Designate public lands open, closed, or <br />limited to OHV use. <br /> <br />Designate areas suitable (open to <br />development), suitable with limitations <br />(open to development with stipulations), or <br />unsuitable (closed to development) for mineral <br />explorational development to provide reasonable <br />and necessary consideration of other <br />resource values. <br /> <br />Consider special management designations <br />for unique areas with special values (to include <br />wild and scenic river analysis). <br /> <br />1-7 <br />
