ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA), and the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), Central Coast
Field Office, Marina, California, intends
to prepare a Resource Management Plan
(RMP) amendment with an associated
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
California Coastal National Monument
RMP. This RMP amendment will
provide management direction for the
Cotoni-Coast Dairies Unit of the
California Coastal National Monument.
In particular, management direction is
needed to provide opportunities for
public access and recreation on the
public lands. This notice announces the
beginning of the scoping process to
solicit public comments and help
identify issues and planning criteria.
DATES: Comments on issues may be
submitted in writing until July 24, 2019,

advance via the BLM California website
at https://go.usa.gov/xEJAw. In order to
be included in the analysis, the BLM
must receive all comments prior to the
close of the 30-day scoping period, or 15
days after the last public meeting,
whichever is later. The BLM will
provide additional opportunities for
public participation as appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
planning area is in Santa Cruz County,
California, and encompasses
approximately 5,840 acres of public
land, donated to the BLM by the Trust
for Public Land in 2014. Since 2014, the
property has been accessible to the
public for guided tours only. On January
12, 2017, Presidential Proclamation
9563 added the public lands to the
California Coastal National Monument.
This proclamation called for the CotoniCoast Dairies Unit to be available for
public access upon the BLM’s
completion of a management plan.
The current RMP for the California
Coastal National Monument, completed
in 2005, provides management direction
for thousands of rocks and islands off
the coast of California. The purpose of
the RMP amendment and associated EA
is to establish land use decisions,
management actions, and allowable uses
for the Cotoni-Coast Dairies Unit of the
California Coastal National Monument.
The need for the RMP amendment and
associated EA is to provide
opportunities for public access and
recreation at the Cotoni-Coast Dairies
Unit, while ensuring care for the objects
and values identified in Presidential
Proclamation 9563.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the planning

process. Federal, State and local
agencies, BLM personnel, and other
stakeholders have identified
preliminary issues for the RMP
mendment. These issues include public
access and recreation opportunities,
management of threatened and
endangered species and their associated
habitats, water quality, livestock
grazing, cultural and historic resources,
fire and fuels management, and public
safety.
Preliminary planning criteria include:
1. Recognize valid existing rights,
including deed restrictions, rights-ofway, and water rights;
2. Comply with existing law,
executive orders, regulations, and BLM
policy and program guidance;
3. Ensure consistency with the
January 12, 2017, Presidential
Proclamation that designated the
property as the Cotoni-Coast Dairies
Unit of the California Coastal National
Monument;
4. Comply with BLM Rangeland
Health Standards and Livestock Grazing
Guidelines for Central California;
5. Consider adjoining non-public
lands when making management
decisions to minimize land use
conflicts; and
6. Consider cost effectiveness and
feasibility of proposed actions and
alternatives.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
you may submit them to the BLM using
one of the methods listed in the
ADDRESSES section earlier.
The BLM will use the NEPA scoping
process to help fulfill the public
involvement process under section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act
(54 U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36
CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about
historic and cultural resources within
the area potentially affected by the
proposed action will assist the BLM in
identifying and evaluating impacts to
such resources.
The BLM will consult with Indian
tribes on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal
concerns, including impacts on Indian
trust assets and potential impacts to
cultural resources, will be given due
consideration. Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with tribes and other
stakeholders that may be interested in,
or affected by, the proposed action
under BLM evaluation, are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be asked by
the BLM to participate in the
development of the environmental
analysis as a cooperating agency.

The BLM will evaluate identified
issues to be addressed in the plan, and
will place them into one of three
categories:
1. Issues to be resolved in the plan
amendment;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action; or
3. Issues beyond the scope of this plan
amendment.
The BLM will provide an explanation
in the draft RMP amendment as to why
an issue was placed in category two or
three. The public is also encouraged to
help identify management questions
and concerns that should be addressed
in the plan. The BLM will work
collaboratively with interested parties to
identify the management decisions that
are best suited to local, regional, and
national needs and concerns.
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach to develop the plan
amendment to consider the variety of
resource issues and concerns identified.
Specialists with expertise in the
following disciplines will be involved
in the planning process: Rangeland
management, outdoor recreation,
archaeology, biology (plants and
wildlife), soils, geology and hydrology,
fire and fuels, and lands and realty.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—could
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

information be withheld from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
