SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The artists
Christo and Jeanne-Claude have
submitted an application for an art
project on the Arkansas River entitled
‘‘Over The River’’ (OTR). They propose
to hang fabric panels over about 7 miles
of a 45 mile stretch of the river, west of
Canon City, Colorado. The translucent
fabric panels would be attached to
approximately 1,000 cables stretched
across the river; they would cover the
river but not the side slopes; hang from
10 to 24 feet above the water; be strong
enough to withstand high winds; be
porous enough to let rainwater pass
through; and be displayed for a twoweek period in early August. The
earliest that the project would be
exhibited is in 2010. During the twoweek project, an estimated 250,000
visitors are expected to visit the
Arkansas River to view the art. All
recoverable materials would be recycled
after the project.
On August 2, 2005, following several
years of inactivity, the BLM, Royal
Gorge Field Office and Colorado State
Parks representatives met with Christo
and Jeanne-Claude, to determine where
the proposal is in the NEPA/approval
process and to establish a logical
timeline. BLM will review the
contractor prepared EIS. If the proposal
is approved, Colorado State Parks will
issue a permit under the Cooperative
Management Agreement between the
agencies for the Arkansas Headwaters
Recreation Area. The artists have and
will continue to cover all of BLM’s costs
associated with this project (100% cost
recovery). Oversight of the project is
through a Permit Planning Team,
consisting of Federal, state and local
agencies that will review the permit
request. Other agencies and entities
participating in the project review
include: CO State Parks, CO Dept. of
Transportation, CO State Patrol, CO
Division of Wildlife, Army Corps of
Engineers, Fremont County
Commissioners and Sheriff, Chaffee
County Commissioners and Sheriff, and
the cities of Canon City and Salida.
Through public scoping, the BLM
expects to identify various issues and
concerns, potential impacts and
mitigation measures, and alternatives to
the proposed action. At present, the
BLM has identified the following issues
and concerns: Impacts on the
environment, particularly on wildlife,
including but not limited to bighorn
sheep, bald eagles and waterfowl; socioeconomic impacts on local citizen’s
travel and commercial trucks from

restrictions as a result of heavy tourist
traffic; safety of those people traveling
Highway 50 and using the Arkansas
River for boating, fishing and viewing
the project; and the response time of
emergency service vehicles such as
police, fire, search and rescue and
ambulance due to heavy traffic.
The BLM will analyze the proposed
action and no action alternatives, as
well as other possible alternatives. Your
comments concerning the OTR project
as proposed and feasible alternatives,
possible mitigation measures, and any
other information relevant to the project
are encouraged.
Sally Wisely,
Colorado State Director.
