VERNAL, Utah — The BLM Vernal Field Office is seeking public comments on the proposed renewal of commercial Special Recreation Permits (SRPs) for the B and C sections of the Green River.
Currently, 13 commercial outfitters operate in these sections under existing SRPs, which are set to expire over the next several years. Upon expiration, current permit holders may apply for renewal to continue offering guided activities such as river running, hiking, camping, and fishing along these river sections.
The BLM seeks public input on the potential effects of renewing these SRPs. A 15-day public comment period begins today, during which comments can be submitted until April 4, 2025, through the BLM National NEPA Register.
For more information, please reach out to the Vernal Field Office at (435) 781-4400.
