Final Bay Proposed Resource Management Plan And Final Environmental Impact Statement

The Bay Proposed RMP/Final EIS was developed based on information provided by BLM personnel, other agencies and organizations, and the public. Four Alternatives are described and analyzed in this document: Alternative A is the 'no action' Alternative; Alternatives B and C propose varying levels of resource use and conservation; and Alternative D, the agency preferred Alternative and proposed RMP, provides a balance between resource conservation and development. Major issues and management concerns analyzed include: minerals management, sustaining renewable resources, subsistence, land tenure adjustments, recreation, special designations, and management of cultural and natural resources.
