Records of Decision/Resource Management Plans

Resource Management Plans for Western Oregon



The BLM administers 2.5 million acres of land in western Oregon. These lands play an important role in the region's social, ecological, and economic well-being. As stewards of these lands, the BLM has a responsibility to ensure that our management is meeting legal manadates and the needs of local communities.

On August 5, 2016, the BLM sighed the Records of Decision for both the Northwestern and Coastal Oregon ROD/RMP and Southwestern Oregon ROD/RMP. The RMPs provide direction for management of resources on the 2.5 million acres within the Coos Bay District, Klamath Falls Field Office of the Lakeview District, Medford District, Northwest Oregon District, and Roseburg District. The completion of the RODs/RMPs marks the end of a four-year effort by the BLM to use new science, policies, and technology to protect natural resources and support local communities in western Oregon. Since 2012, the BLM held 41 public meetings, workshops, and forums in western Oregon. The agency received more than 7,000 comments, 4,500 of which were sent in during the formal comment period in 2015. The BLM also worked closely with agencies with regulatory responsibilities, including the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop strategies to protect fish, water, and threatened and endangered species.
