Message: [QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 1242498, member: 32023"] WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: For maximum effectiveness: 1) Using the information provided from BLM and BRC's websites, as well as the info and the comment suggestions below, write a comment letter addressing Issues and Alternatives presented in the DEIS. 2) Copy your letter to your political representatives. Snail mail works best. Pen a quick personal note to your politico's staff and make sure they know you are PRO access, that you visit the area and that you oppose both the rhetoric and the proposals of the so-called "environmental groups." Find the address of your politico's here: Rapid Response Center (just enter your zip code) 3) 'CC' your comments to BRC CC your comments to BRC at [email]brlandsinfo@sharetrails.org[/email]. In the Subject line please put Moab RMP Comments. Extra Credit: Comments will be most helpful if you can state very specifically what you like and what you don't like about each of the Alternatives. Suggest changes. Also, it is good if you can reference a section or page number. IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, this IS worth the time and effort to write a good comment letter. Public comment is extremely important and will help to move the Final Plan toward something that's good for the recreating public. Individual comments like yours will also serve as a foundation for groups like BRC to challenge any arbitrary or unfair closures, as well as defend the inevitable attack from SUWA's lawyers. If at all possible, your letter should address these issues (please see comment suggestions below): [list]Comments regarding the Alternatives -- (please note that Alternative A (no action) is not an "action alternative." So the "I vote for Alternative A" comment will be a waste of time and effort. [*]Comments about specific roads, trails and areas to be designated for motorized and mountain bike use, and responses to specific questions associated with BLM's #1 formal Planning Issue: "How can increased recreation use, especially motorized vehicle access, be managed while protecting natural resource values?" [*]Comments on Special Recreation Management Areas (SRMA) [*]Comments on Dispersed Camping [*]Comments on White Wash Sand Dunes [*]Comments on ATV Trails [*]Comments on Mountain bike trails/areas [*]Comments regarding special designations such as ACECs, Wild and Scenic Rivers and "Lands with Wilderness Character"[/list] COMMENT SUGGESTIONS: Comments may be submitted electronically to: [email]UT_Moab_Comments@blm.gov[/email]. Comments may also be submitted by mail to: Moab Field Office RMP Comments Bureau of Land Management, Moab Field Office 82 East Dogwood Moab, Utah 84532. Note: A good comment letter starts with a brief paragraph about yourself and a bit, about what you like to do when you visit the Moab field office. [/QUOTE]
