Project Description

What's New

Home
This Resource Management Plan (RMP) establishes the gen­eral land management and use determina­tions guiding and controlling public lands in the Roswell Resource Area. This plan was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969.

The Roswell Resource Area encompasses Chaves County (except for the “bootheel”) and all of Lincoln, DeBaca, Roosevelt, Curry, Quay, and Guadalupe counties in southeastern and east-central New Mexico.

This RMP addresses the management of 1,490,000 acres in the Roswell Re­source Area where both the surface and sub­surface estates are federally owned and are administered by the BLM. This Plan also presents management for an additional 8.4 million acres of federal mineral estate where the surface is managed by other agencies of the federal or New Mexico State governments or is privately owned.  In these cases, the leas­ing of fluid minerals (i.e., oil and gas) is ad­ministered by the BLM.

All land and resource uses and activities occurring on public lands in the planning area must conform with the de­cisions and terms and conditions of use de­scribed in this plan.  Detailed decisions for the implementation of specific actions will be made through activity-level planning and environ­mental review processes.  Likewise, the authorization of specific uses will be dependent on conformance with planning deci­sions and the completion of environmental review.

The Surface Use and Occupancy Requirements (Appendix 1) will be applied, when applicable, to all actions described in this plan.
