With the announcement of the plan, the agencies are now in the stages of looking for feedback in the form of public comments on the three alternative management scenarios that are outlined in the Environmental Impact Statement for the Browns Canyon Resource Management Plan (RMP). The announcement opens a 90-day public comment period with the document available for viewing at the link provided below.
Browns Canyon National Monument was established by a Presidential Proclamation in February of 2015. The BLM manages 9,790 acres of this land while the USFS manages 11,810 acres of the 21,600-acre monument.
