Greetings:
The Cedar City BLM Field Office is in the process of planning for resource management and travel management plans. This area includes all of Beaver and Iron counties. Issues to be addressed in the resource management plan will include "closed", "open" or "limited" for OHV use. The BLM wants to know what areas OHV users would like to be left as "open" riding areas and which areas should be considered as not "closed" riding areas. This information from the users, needs to be presented to the Cedar City BLM Field Office by the end of summer 2011.
Route designation will be completed through the travel management plan. The route designations are being sought from the Cedar City BLM Field Office and the State of Utah. Both agencies would like to know the routes that are currently being used and the routes you would like to have designated as "open" in the final travel management plan.
An inventory is currently being compiled by the State of Utah for side by sides, ATV's and 4x4's. Please do not assume that the State can locate all of the routes for each of these specific OHV's. There is a great need for information from all OHV's users and a greater need for single track routes. We are asking each of you to forward this information onto interested parties in order to provide as much accurate information as possible to the BLM. If individuals would liek to assist the State in compiling this inventory we can provide a GPS unit with the understanding that the GPS unit and data will be returned to the State. The data collected will be submitted to the Cedar City BLM Filed Office. Individuals may submit their own collection data directly to the Cedar City BLM Field Office if they prefer.
