Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument Resource Management Plan

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Las Cruces District Office is preparing the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS) in response to Presidential Proclamation 9131 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act requiring the BLM to develop a management plan for the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument.  This plan will guide BLM management in response to changes in recreation use, population growth, and environmental conditions throughout the Monument and the Las Cruces metropolitan area. The Monument decision area covers 496,591 acres of BLM-managed land in south-central New Mexico, primarily within Doña Ana County and extending westward into Luna County and includes all public land in the planning area for which the BLM has the authority to make land use decisions.
