Cedar City Plan Stopped
The Bureau of Land Management has rescinded the notice of intent to prepare a Resource Management Plan (RMP) and terminated the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Cedar City Field Office in southwestern Utah. This means no new land-management rules or studies from that RMP will happen for the Cedar City planning area right now, so local communities and land users in that area will not see changes from this plan.
Work Halt Saves Time and Money
The BLM says stopping the RMP and terminating the EIS will save time and money. Those savings are associated with halting work on the Cedar City Field Office planning effort in southwestern Utah.
