Project Description

The project page hosts the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) analysis of and proposal to manage the public lands in the Fort Wainwright planning area under the Fairbanks District Office's jurisdiction as presented in the Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Record of Decision (ROD).

The Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-606) required the Department of the Interior (DOI) through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to prepare a land use plan (RMP) for the Yukon Maneuver Area on Fort Wainwright. The withdrawal allowed for military maneuvering, training, and equipment development and testing. The RMP was to be developed for the life of the withdrawal. The plan needed to recognize the preeminence of the military mission yet include provisions for the proper management and protection of the resources and values on the withdrawn lands. Wildlife and wildlife habitat protection, recreational use, and mineral development were specifically mentioned as items to look at in the plan. After completion of the plan. the BLM and Army were to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to implement the RMP.
