Spokane District BLM Planning Update January, 2010 BLM is publishing this Planning Update to provide current information about specific projects and future events planned for lands and resources managed by the district, to interested parties. The Update is contained within the table below, where projects are organized by county. Each project entry contains the project name, a brief description, the location, and project status; and identifies related documents. Entries in the Project Status column are color coded to correspond with the following categories: 1) Preliminary Planning/Scoping: Project planning is in its initial stages. BLM staff is reviewing a proposed project to determine how best to approach planning. When warranted there will be a public scoping period and BLM will seek public input to help identify issues or alternatives. 2) Conducting Analysis: BLM is analyzing the environmental effects of these projects. 3) Decision Pending: BLM has completed analysis of effects and a decision is pending. When warranted, BLM will seek public review and comments on analysis documents before making a decision. 4) Decision signed: The appeal period for the decision will be identified. 5) Project under Implementation: Project is currently being implemented. If there is currently any type of public review or comment period related to a project, this is also indicated in the Project Status column. The Related Documents/Links column contains a number which identifies the planning and analysis documents associated with the project. If you are viewing this update electronically, you can click on the document numbers in blue font to link to more information on the internet. If the numbers are in black font, no information is available on the internet.
