Public Scoping Period: October 30, 2020 through November 30, 2020 (31 days)

What is the public scoping period? The public scoping period is time given to the public to review the route inventory and identify issues and concerns the BLM should consider in developing the travel management plan and assessing potential impacts to natural resources. Public input is essential to designate a travel system that provides appropriate access to and across public lands for a variety of uses including recreation, hunting, grazing, mineral exploration, and energy development.

"During the public scoping phase of travel management planning efforts, field offices should provide interested stakeholders with a minimum of 30 days to submit route inventory data and/or identify specific routes to be evaluated and potentially designated as open to off-highway vehicle (OHV) travel. For each route submitted, stakeholders should provide an accompanying purpose and need statement (e.g., access to trailheads, campsites, range improvements, private property, etc.), any known user conflicts (e.g., conflicts between mountain biking or OHV use), and any known resource conflicts (e.g., damage to surrounding vegetation or archeological sites). " – Utah IM 2012-066
