SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
SPRNCA was established by Public Law
100–696 on November 18, 1988. The
planning area is located in Cochise
County in southeastern Arizona, and
encompasses approximately 55,990
acres of public land administered by the
BLM TFO. The SPRNCA is located
adjacent to the City of Sierra Vista and
is near Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
The SPRNCA is currently managed
under the Safford District RMP (1992
and 1994), which incorporated RMP
level decisions from the San Pedro River
Riparian Management Plan (1989). This
planning effort would update
management guidance from the
previous plans and create a new RMP
for the SPRNCA. The planning effort is
needed to identify goals, objectives, and
management actions for the SPRNCA’s
resources and uses identified in the
enabling legislation, including aquatic;
wildlife; archaeological; paleontological;
scientific; cultural; educational; and
recreational resources and values.
The BLM used public scoping
comments to help identify planning
issues that directed the formulation of
alternatives and framed the scope of
analysis in the Draft RMP/Draft EIS.
Issues identified included management
of water, vegetation, and soil resources,
fire management, Threatened and
Endangered species management,
livestock grazing, access, recreation,
socio-economics, and lands and realty.
The planning effort also considers lands
with wilderness characteristics, wild
and scenic rivers, and Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACECs).
The Draft RMP/Draft EIS evaluates
four alternatives in detail. Alternative A
is the No Action Alternative, which is
a continuation of current management
in the existing Safford District RMP and
San Pedro River Riparian Management
Plan. It is a continuation of current
public use, resource protection, and
conservation prescriptions without
change. It neither sets desired outcomes
for resource management or most uses,
nor addresses new issues unforeseen or
nonexistent when the Safford District
RMP was prepared. Alternative B
provides opportunities for increased
public access, includes livestock grazing
in sensitive riparian and cultural areas,
allows recreation uses, and focuses on
active resource management using the
broadest array of management tools.
This would include use of heavy
equipment, herbicide, hand tools, and
prescribed fire to achieve goals and
objectives, to mitigate any effects from
increased use, and for ecosystem
restoration. Alternative B places an
emphasis on opportunities for
motorized access. Alternative C is the
BLM’s preferred alternative. Alternative
C represents a balance between resource
protection and public access, authorizes
livestock grazing in areas compatible
with the established conservation
values, and provides for a diverse mix
of recreation opportunities. As in
Alternative B, Alternative C focuses on
active resource management and would
allow for use of the broadest array of
management tools for ecosystem
restoration and to meet goals and
objectives. Alternative D emphasizes
resource protection and conservation. It
emphasizes primitive recreational
experiences with limited motorized
access, protection of wilderness
characteristics, ACECs, and
management of the San Pedro and
Babocomari Wild and Scenic Rivers. It
focuses on natural processes and use of
‘‘light on the land’’ management
methods, such as the use of hand tools
and prescribed fire, to help meet goals
and objectives.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.7–2(b), this
notice announces a concurrent public
comment period for potential ACECs.
There are three existing ACECs under
Alternative A, and three expanded and
two new potential ACECs under
Alternative D. ACECs are not proposed
under Alternatives B and C. Pertinent
information regarding these ACECs,
including proposed designation acreage
and resource use limitations are listed
below.
