<br />Planning Action 5: Formulate Alternatives
<br />
<br />In resource planning, as with other problem~SOlvjng efforts, there
<br />are always a number of alternatives. The success of the planning
<br />effort often hinges upon the identification and clear presentation
<br />of the reasonable alternatives.
<br />
<br />The BLM manager sets out to accomplish three objectives during
<br />planning action five:
<br />
<br />,. To identify, in a set of statements and graphics, a range of
<br />reasonable combinations of resource uses and management prac-
<br />tices that appear to respond to the planning issues and that pro-
<br />vide management direction for all resources.
<br />
<br />2. To develop reasonable alternatives, each designed to provide
<br />a distinct choice among potential management strategies, and
<br />
<br />3. To portray the apparent complementary and competitive rela-
<br />tionships among the various alternatives.
<br />
<br />Wherever possible, these resource uses and levels are portrayed
<br />on maps, (like the one on page 14) to establiSh, as clearly as possi-
<br />ble, the on-the-ground location of the various resources and
<br />management alternatives.

<br />
<br />PubliC comments and i~~~? g?th~.red during issue identlfica-
<br />tion and d~vefopriJent of planning criteria steps continue to
<br />be used as altei.nativesbecome known. The public has "P'
<br />portun:ty to review alternatives and analys~s of alternatives
<br />when the draft AMP and draft EIS are publiShed and a com-
<br />ment period is set. However. the BlM manag~r also
<br />wek:omes'suggestions before that official comment perida.
<br />In fact, comments submitted early in the process have a bet-
<br />ter.chance to.be fully considen,d. .
