Summary
The Carlsbad Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management is revising its Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for 2.1 million acres of public land in Eddy, Chaves, and Lea Counties, New Mexico. The finalized plan
will guide all management within the planning area for the next 20-30 years, including what areas are
available for energy development, recreation, and conservation priorities. Currently, the BLM is nearing its
public release of the draft plan, scheduled for May 2018.
The RMP provides stakeholders the ability to weigh in on land management. As the Permian Basin
experiences an unprecedented boom, this is an important time to come together to identify priorities,
concerns, and positive land management solutions that will best serve local communities.
While the BLM will open a comment period when the draft plan is released, this roundtable discussion
provides a more substantive opportunity for a diversity of voices to discuss challenges and opportunities
with the boom – in the context of the BLM’s RMP – to help the agency better understand how their plan
could be crafted to address community feedback. As a prominent community member and public lands
stakeholder, your participation in this discussion is valuable. We hope you consider attending.
