BLM Finalizes Supplementary Rules for Public Lands within Jurisdiction of Lake Havasu Field Office

September 25, 2009 – BLM’s Lake Havasu Field Office has published a notice issuing final supplementary rules for 1.3 million acres of public lands in Arizona and California.  BLM’s final rules are created to implement the Lake Havasu Field Office Resource Management Plan on public lands within the planning area and to provide for continued management of specific areas, including the Parker Strip Recreation Management Area and Craggy Wash, which contain OHV use areas.  BLM’s final rules become effective October 26, 2009 and replace existing supplementary rules.  Also included in the notice are BLM’s responses to comments received during the comment period for the proposed supplementary rules notice, which was published last year.  Most submitted comments related to Rule 29, which prohibits OHV use within any concession or BLM-managed campground in the Parker Strip Recreation Management Area.  BLM’s responses to comments and final rules can be viewed in the original Federal Register Notice by following the link below.
