Bureau of Land Management extends scoping period on proposal to amend East Alaska Resource Management Plan
GLENNALLEN, Alaska – The BLM is seeking input to prepare an Environmental Assessment for a proposed amendment to the East Alaska Resource Management Plan (RMP) and is extending the public scoping period to Jan. 4, 2021 due to the holidays.
An amendment to the East Alaska RMP is needed for the BLM to fulfill provisions of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Dingell Act). The Dingell Act requires BLM to identify “accessible and economically viable Federal land” within the Chugach Region that can be offered in a potential land exchange. The amendment to the RMP would analyze the environmental impacts of potentially making lands near Thompson Pass in the vicinity of Valdez, Alaska, available for exchange.
