Notice of Final Supplementary Rule for Public Lands Administered by the BLM Tres Rios and Gunnison Field Offices
The BLM has established a supplementary rule for BLM-administered public lands administered by the Tres Rios Field Office in Archuleta, La Plata, Montezuma, Dolores, San Miguel, and Montrose counties, and by the Gunnison Field Office in Gunnison, Ouray, San Juan, and Hinsdale counties, Colorado. The final supplementary rule will allow the BLM to implement and enforce decisions related to motorized and non-motorized vehicles, day-use areas, seasonal wildlife habitat protection, camping, and campfires.
The rule implements and makes enforceable regulatory decisions in the 2015 Tres Rios Field Office Resource Management Plan, the 1990 Dolores River Corridor Management Plan, the 2010 Alpine Triangle Recreation Area Management Plan, the 2020 Tres Rios Field Office Transportation and Access Plan for Travel Area 1, and the 2020 Silverton Travel Management Plan.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
