AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Further planning will be conducted for the Calypso Trail in
the Big Dry Resource Area of the Miles City District. The purpose of
this planning is to propose future management for the Calypso Trail and
is scheduled for completion by December 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Any comments, concerns, or information to be considered
for this planning on the Calypso Trail should be submitted to BLM on or
before November 13, 1995.
ADDRESSES: All submissions should be sent to the following address:
David D. Swogger, Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 940, Miles City,
Montana 59301.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Bloom, Team Leader, Big Dry
Resource Area Office, P.O. Box 940, Miles City, Montana 59301, 406-232-
4331.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed Big Dry Resource Management
Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement was issued in February of
1995. One decision protested by the public was the closure of Calypso
Trail to motorized vehicles. Located west of Terry, Montana, the
Calypso Trail is a road that separates two roadless areas that make up
the Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area. The trail experiences a high
amount of erosion each year making the trail hazardous at times and
difficult to maintain. For those reasons, the BLM proposed closure of
the trail to motorized vehicles.
To ensure that all available data have been considered, the public
is asked to assist the BLM in identifying impacts from leaving the
Calypso Trail open or closing the trail to motorized vehicles. Written
comments will be accepted until November 13, 1995. Comments may also be
submitted at an open house meeting to be held October 19, 1995, from 1
p.m. to 7 p.m. in Room 106 of the Miles Community College in Miles
City, Montana.
Dated: September 27, 1995.

Acting Deputy State Director, Division of Resources.
