<br />Off-Road Vehicle Designations (Issue 3-4)
<br />
<br />Areas would be designated as open, limited, or closed
<br />to off-road vehicles, as shown in Table 8, (The map of
<br />the proposed plan shows the areas listed in the table,)
<br />
<br />Cultural Resources (Issue 3-5)
<br />
<br />I, All cultural resources would be managed, commensurate
<br />with the scientific values of the resource,
<br />
<br />PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
<br />
<br />2, An overall cultural resource management plan would
<br />be developed that addresses the prehistoric and
<br />historical cultural presence in the resource area,
<br />
<br />Paleontological Resources (Issue 3-6)
<br />
<br />A program would be developed to systematically
<br />inventory, classify, designate, and monitor paleontological
<br />resources.
<br />
<br />Acquisition/Disposal Areas (Issue 4-1)
<br />
<br />I, The BLM lands in the resource area would be divided
<br />into general retention and disposal areas (see Map 2):
<br />
<br />a, Retention-all land tenure adjustment actions
<br />(including recreation and public purposes [R&PP]
<br />actions and exchanges), except sales under Section 203
<br />of FLPMA, 'would be considered on a case-by-<:ase
<br />basis, if, the PVblic interest would be served, Section
<br />302 leases and JS"ermits would be allowed, Conveyance
<br />actions would be precluded in wilderness and other
<br />special management areas,
<br />
<br />New policy revoking authority to authorize sanitary
<br />landfills would be applied, This policy is a result of
<br />potential federal liability associated with hazardous
<br />waste dumping on BLM-administered land. Should
<br />operators of existing sanitary landmls, authorized under
<br />an R&PP lease, choose to contioue operation of the
<br />facility upon termination of the existing lease, land-
<br />tenure adjustments could occur.
<br />
<br />b. Disposal-Iand-tenure-adjustment actions would be
<br />allowed on approximately 6,670 acres of public land
<br />that mee't the criteria for disposal under applicable
<br />authority (see Appendix 24 in the Draft RMP /EfS),
<br />This acreage includes land-tenure-adjustment actions
<br />(i.e,. disposal by sale under Section 203 of FLPMA)
<br />for Ihe existing BLM-authorized sanitary landfill sites
<br />near Oak Creek and Maybell located within the
<br />retention area, Section 302 leases a'nd permits would
<br />also be allowed,
<br />
<br />2, Acquisition of public land, would be pursued, based
<br />on identified resource values and needs (see Map 2),
<br />
<br />3, BLM would continue to review existing withdrawals
<br />and to make recommendations based on resource values
<br />and need, Ot~er agency relinquishments would be
<br />processed promptly, V.S, Fish and Wildlife Service.
<br />National Park Service. and V,S, Forest Service
<br />withdrawals are not reviewable, (See Appendix 26 in
<br />this document.)
