Availability of Proposed Resource Management Plan and Final
Environmental Impact Statement; Fort Greely, Alaska
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.
ACTION: Notice of availability of Fort Greely Proposed Resource
Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (Pub. L.
99-606), the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management,
Steese/White Mountains District has prepared a Proposed Resource
Management Plan (PRMP)/Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for
the Fort Greely military withdrawal, which is located near Delta
Junction, Alaska, southeast of Fairbanks. The U.S. Army's 6th Infantry
Division (Light) assisted in drafting the plan. The document addresses
planning for nonmilitary use of the withdrawal. It addresses questions
such as access, recreation, timber and fuel wood harvesting, and
wildlife habitat and cultural resource protection. Although mining is
discussed, none would be allowed in the immediate future because of
potential conflicts with the military's mission.
DATES: Protests on the PRMP/FEIS must be postmarked by February 15,
1994.
ADDRESSES: Protests on the PRMP/FEIS should be sent to: Bureau of Land
Management, Division of Planning and Environmental Coordination (WO-
760), 1849 C Street NW. (406 L St.), Washington, DC 20240.

Planning Team Leader, Bureau of Land Management, Alaska State Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRMP/FEIS is available by contacting Jim
Ducker at the address or phone number listed above.
The Proposed Plan refines the Preferred Alternative presented in
the Draft Resource Management Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DRMP/DEIS). These refinements are the result of comments from the
public and the availability of information developed since the
distribution of the draft.
The PRMP/FEIS describes the Proposed Plan and its impacts in full
and presents summaries of five alternatives and their impacts. Complete
descriptions of the alternatives and their impacts can be found in the
DRMP/DEIS which are available at the main public libraries in
