As California State Director for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), I consider the management of the 15.2 million acres of public lands under our jurisdiction to be a partnership effort with elected officials and interested publics of all kinds throughout the State.
We are particularly proud of the partnerships tbat have been forged in our land use planning process. In the attached brochure, we describe the major overhaul of BLM's existing resource management plans (RMP) of the past few years. Thanlts to active involvement of the public, state and local governments, as well as many elected officials, I believe this new generation of RMPs will provide an effective blueprint for managing California's incomparable public lands.
These public lands stretch from the rocks and islands off the coast, to the vast expanse of the desert, from the grasslands of the central valley, to the old-growth forests and rangelands of the northern part of the State. Spread throughout most of California's 58 counties, they provide a range of multiple use opportunities for Californians and visitors, including recreation, wilderness preservation, energy and mineral production, wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, timber production, and other uses. Some have special designations, such as National Monuments and National Conservation Areas, while others provide land for power lines, communication sites, or just wide open spaces with lots of room to roam.
This brochure was developed as part of BLM's 30"' anniversary of passage of the historic Federal Land Policy and Management Act by Congress in 1976. That Act, is often called BLM's "Organic Act," since it significantly changed the way public lands were to be managed.
A key element of that change was the requirement for developing land use plans with what was then a revolutionary requirement for Federal lands: that these land use plans be coordinated with the "States and local governments within which the lands are located.. . ." It also requires "meaningful public involvement of State and local government officials" and directs BLM to "resolving, to the extent practical, inconsistencies between Federal and non-Federal government plans."
We take these directives very seriously and all of us in BLM strive to involve and consult elected officials throughout California to the full extent possible. We look forward to continuing this positive worlung relationship in developing, revising, and implementing these critical plans.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in helping us to manage these public lands and resources. Please feel free to contact me at (916) 978-4600 if you have any questions or concerns.
