The Long Term Experimental and Management Plan for the Grand Canyon scoping deadline has been extended
Posted: December 30, 2011 Filed under: Whitewater Rafting Leave a commentIf you have been down the Grand Canyon, peered over the side of those beautiful walls or dreamed of doing it some day, now is the time to act.
January 31, 2012 is the New Scoping Deadline!
The scoping deadline for the Long Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP) has been extended from December 30, 2011 to January 31, 2012, giving you time to emerge after the holidays, get focused, and submit your own comments! This is THE important plan, folks – one that will determine the flows you boat on and the state of the resource for the next 15 years or so.
Consequently this EIS is on par in importance with the initial Glen Canyon Dam EIS in the early 1990s. The current scoping effort is an outstanding opportunity for the public to inform the NPS and the Bureau of Reclamation (co-lead agencies) on the development of the LTEMP draft EIS – the scope, what should be considered, what the important issues are, and possible alternatives.
The official website for the LTEMP can be found at: http://ltempeis.anl.gov/ .
Thanks to the Grand Canyon River Guides Association for their help and information. If you are not a member, you should be! Go here to become a member of the GCRGA!
