Virtual Public Meetings
The health and safety of the public and our
employees remains a high priority for the DOI, therefore in lieu of in-person meetings during the global
pandemic, the BLM and BIA developed five virtual public meetings using the Zoom
application to
minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
The meeting were accessible via the internet through Zoom as well as the
BLM New Mexico Facebook page, and were also accessible by telephone. During the
meetings, the public heard an overview of the Farmington Mancos-Gallup RMPA/EIS
project and planning area, the EIS process, how to review the document, and how
to provide comments.
The meetings were held at the following
times:
·
Thursday, May 14, 2-4
