The Department of the Interior (USDI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has revised the Garnet Resource Area Resource Management Plan of 1986 for the Missoula Field Office of the Western Montana District. The Missoula BLM has prepared this approved resource management plan and final environmental impact statement (Approved RMP/ Final EIS) with management direction applicable for approximately 162,611 acres of public lands and approximately 267,389 acres of federal mineral interests in western Montana.
The Missoula approved RMP / Final EIS establishes goals and objectives for resource management (desired outcomes) and the measures needed to achieve these goals and objectives (allowable uses and management actions) in coordination with federal, tribal, state, and local governments; local users; and interested public.
The Missoula RMP planning area is located in western Montana in Flathead, Granite, Lake, Lincoln, Mineral, Missoula, Powell, Ravalli, and Sanders counties. Over 99 percent of these surface acres are located in Granite, Missoula and Powell counties.
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) requires that the BLM “develop, maintain, and, when appropriate, revise land use plans.” The need for the revision is the result of changing resource conditions, shifting demands for resource uses, new circumstances and information relevant to public lands in the planning area since completion of the Garnet Resource Area RMP in 1986.
The BLM’s purpose is to develop a land use plan “on the basis of multiple use and sustained yield unless otherwise specified by law” according to FLPMA.
The following purposes describe the Field Office’s distinctive role in the western Montana landscape:
· Maintain or restore ecological sustainability for forested and grassland ecosystems to provide quality habitat for terrestrial and aquatic wildlife species, and productivity for sustainable timber harvest and livestock grazing.
· Provide for recreation opportunities and improve access
· Manage for other Social and Scientific Values (e.g., Cultural, Paleo, Special Designations, Lands with Wilderness Characteristics, Visual, Safety, etc.)
