Land Use Plan Information

2002 Southeastern Oregon Resource Management Plan

The 2002 Southeastern Oregon Resource Management Plan is the guiding land management for the BLM's Malheur Field Office, Oregon. In 2015, the SEORMP was amended by the Oregon Approved RMP Amendment for Greater Sage-grouse.  This new proposed amendment is developed to address a Settlement Agreement reached in 2010 with appellants on the 2002 Plan, as directed by a US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Opinion. The original 2002 SEORMP can be found here: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/36354/510
