Abstract

In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington (OR/WA) State Director intends to prepare a Resource Management Plan (RMP) amendment with an associated environmental assessment (EA) for the Upper Deschutes RMP (2005), and by this notice is announcing the beginning of the scoping period to solicit public comments, identify issues, and provide the planning criteria for public review. The planning process and EA are necessary to evaluate an application for a Recreation and Public Purposes Act (RPPA) conveyance that would allow the City of Redmond in Central Oregon to expand the Redmond Wastewater Expansion Project.
