What is the purpose of the Price Resource Management Plan (RMP) Revision?
The goal of the Price RMP is to develop a comprehensive management strategy to guide future management of public lands administered by the Price Field Office. This RMP combines two older land use plans, the Price River Resource Area Management Framework Plan (1983) and the San Rafael Resource Management Plan (1991) into a unified Price Field Office RMP. The revision of the plans is a part of a national initiative to update all BLM resource management plans. This planning process enables land managers to incorporate new information on the uses and resources on the public lands. For example, since the plans were last updated, more people visit the public lands, recreational vehicles are capable of travel into more remote places, and new technology has enabled minerals to be extracted from deeper levels. The plan revisions take into account these changes, and allows for flexibility as changes occur in the future.
