Welcome to the website for development of the Eastern Washington and San Juan Resource Management Plan (RMP). We hope this website will help you stay up-to-date on the planning process and provide information about how you can be involved in the process. We appreciate your participation and look forward to continuing our work together.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Spokane District will be preparing an RMP and associated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for 445,000 acres of public lands in Eastern Washington and the San Juan Archipelago in Washington State. The map on the right shows the boundaries of the planning area. Click on the map to view a larger detailed map.

The Notice of Intent to prepare the RMP/EIS was published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2010. This initiated a public scoping period. During this period, the BLM will be conducting a number of public open house meetings (see dates/times/locations below) to provide additional information about the planning process. The BLM is also asking for comments from the public regarding planning issues and the scope of the plan and associated environmental analysis. Comments should be submitted by June 25, 2010. See the Comment page for more information.
