Prairie Hills Audubon Society: June 28th Billings BLM RMP DEIS Comments Due

June 28, 2013 Deadline comment on Billings BLM & Pompey's Pillar NM, DRMP and DEIS

The Billings and Pompeys Pillar National Monument Draft Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (DRMP/EIS) are available for public comment and comments are due on Friday June 28th, you can send by e-mail up to midnight and meet the deadline. This is the third Montana BLM RMP released this spring, comment deadlines on Miles City (eastern edge) and Hi-line (above Charles M Russell NWRP) have passed earlier this June.

This DRMP/EIS updates the 1984 Billings RMP, as amended and will provide the Billings Field Office and Pompeys Pillar National Monument with an updated framework in which to administer BLM public lands. This DRMP/EIS is a combined effort that addresses both the Billings Field Office and the Pompeys Pillar National Monument in a consolidated RMP and associated EIS and is titled (and referenced throughout) as the Billings and Pompeys Pillar National Monument DRMP/EIS.
