The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared a Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management for the Rock Springs Field Office.
The
purpose of the land use plan is to establish guidance, objectives, policies,
and management actions for public lands administered by the RSFO. The plan is
comprehensive and addresses issues within the RSFO jurisdictional boundaries. The
BLM strives for a balance of opportunities to use and develop BLM-administered resources
within the planning area, while promoting environmental conservation.
The Rock Springs RMP planning area includes approximately 3.6 million acres of BLM-administered surface land and 3.7 million acres of BLM-administered mineral estate in portions of Lincoln, Sweetwater, Uinta, Sublette, and Fremont counties in Southwestern Wyoming. The Rock Springs Field Office administers various programs, including mineral exploration and development, renewable energy, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation, wild horses, livestock grazing and historic trails.
