Project Description

What's New

The Bureau of Land Management, Colorado River Valley Field Office (BLM CRVFO) is seeking public comments for the proposal to allow Class 1 e-bikes on Designated Mountain Bike Trails project. Comments will be accepted from February 23, 2026 through March 25, 2026 for a 30-day public scoping period.

 

How to provide comments during the public comment period:

Select “Participate Now” on the left side of the screen;

Please provide substantive comments regarding the EA. All substantive and timely comments received during this period will be used to develop a Final EA and Decision.

 

Substantive versus Non-substantive Comments

Substantive comments do one or more of the following:

• question, with reasonable basis, the accuracy of information in the EIS or EA.

• question, with reasonable basis, the adequacy of, methodology for, or assumptions used for the environmental analysis.

• present new information relevant to the analysis.

• present reasonable alternatives other than those analyzed in the EIS or EA.

• cause changes or revisions in one or more of the alternatives.

 

Comments that are not considered substantive include the following:

• comments in favor of or against the proposed action or alternatives without reasoning that meet the criteria listed above (such as “we disagree with Alternative Two and believe the BLM should select Alternative Three”).

• comments that only agree or disagree with BLM policy or resource decisions without justification or supporting data that meet the criteria listed above (such as “more grazing should be permitted”).

• comments that don’t pertain to the project area or the project (such as “the government should eliminate all dams,” when the project is about a grazing permit).

• comments that take the form of vague, open-ended questions.

 

Thank you for your interest in Public Lands!
