<br />
<br />The Gunnison ERMA would bc
<br />managcd for a divcnity of
<br />rccrcation opportunitiea.
<br />Prepare an activity plan and
<br />detcnnine ROO seuingl.
<br />
<br />Designate Alpine ACEC
<br />(88,663 acres) and manage for
<br />a divcrllity of motorized/non-
<br />molorized recreation uses; Em-
<br />phasize facility development
<br />and intensive rccreation

<br />
<br />Cochctopa SRMA: A Roaded
<br />nablral ROS setting would be
<br />maintained, emphasizing fishing
<br />and camping along Colorado
