Draft management plan/environmental assessment for the French Flat Area of Critical Environmental Concern

This EA analyzes alternatives for management of French Flat ACEC. These alternatives were developed by a BLM interdisciplinary team with input from public comments. The issues evaluated were protection of designated ACEC values, recreation, mining, and other land uses.

Alternative A is the No Action alternative which proposes continuing the current limited management of this area. Alternative B proposes maximum protection of designated ACEC values. Alternative C proposes a more recreation oriented approach while conserving ACEC values.
