Southeastern Oregon resource management plan and record of decision

This Record of Decision (ROD) approves the Bureau of Land Managements (BLMs) plan to manage the public lands within the Malheur and Jordan Resource Areas of the Vale District during the next 20 years and beyond. The Southeastern Oregon Resource Management Plan (SEORMP) is a general resource management plan for 4.6 million acres of BLM administered public lands primarily in Malheur County with minor acreage in Grant and Harney Counties, Oregon. The SEORMP establishes guidance for managing a broad spectrum of land uses and allocations including livestock grazing management, wild horse management, land tenure adjustments, off-highway motorized vehicle use, wild, scenic and recreation river designations, mineral management, vegetation management and areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). The SEORMP contains resource objectives, land use allocations, management actions and direction needed to achieve program goals. The SEORMP consolidated, updates and replaces the existing land management guidance for the Malheur and Jordan Resource Areas.
