Developing of an RMP Process
The Bureau of Reclamation’s RMP Guidebook encourages a robust public involvement process where Tribes, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the public can participate in the development of the RMP. Specifically, Reclamation has solicited input regarding issues, opportunities, and constraints to be addressed in the draft RMP. Reclamation also welcomed input on best available data, relevant information and references, or other data sources to allow for the preparation of a robust draft RMP. Reclamation provided multiple public involvement opportunities for interested parties to participate and provide feedback on the draft RMP process.
Public Meetings
This virtual public meeting website will be accessible 24 hours a day. Visitors can view information about the project, read frequently asked questions, and submit comments during comment periods. Additionally, the public had the opportunity to provide input and participate in the RMP process through attending an in-person public meeting. Reclamation held an in-person public meeting on September 30, 2024, to gather public input on issues, opportunities, and constraints to be addressed in the RMP. The second in-person meeting scheduled for February 13, 2025, was canceled due to adverse weather conditions and severe storm warnings. However, Reclamation accepted comments as they related to the development of the RMP through February 26, 2025.
