The Whopper (WOPR)

From Eugene Neighbors

The draft US BLM Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR) is currently open for public comment through January 11, 2007.

"The Bureau of Land Management is revising the six western Oregon Resource Management Plans tiered to the Northwest Forest Plan. The revised plans (to be completed in 2008) will address public lands and resources managed by the Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Medford, and Coos Bay Districts and the Klamath Falls Resource Area of the Lakeview District. The planning area includes approximately 2,550,000 acres of public lands. About 2,100,000 of those acres are land revested from the Oregon and California Railroad and are managed under the O&C Lands Act of 1937.

"The planning process began on September 7, 2005 with formal issue scoping. The plan revision process is expected to be completed in 2008. A Draft Environmental Impact statement was released for public review on August 10, 2007." — [1]
