Notice of Intent To Conduct Further Planning, Miles City, MT

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Further planning will be conducted for the Calypso Trail in 
the Big Dry Resource Area of the Miles City District. The purpose of 
this planning is to propose future management for the Calypso Trail and 
is scheduled for completion by December 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Any comments, concerns, or information to be considered 
for this planning on the Calypso Trail should be submitted to BLM on or 
before November 13, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All submissions should be sent to the following address: 
David D. Swogger, Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 940, Miles City, 
Montana 59301.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Bloom, Team Leader, Big Dry 
Resource Area Office, P.O. Box 940, Miles City, Montana 59301, 406-232-
4331.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed Big Dry Resource Management 
Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement was issued in February of 
1995. One decision protested by the public was the closure of Calypso 
Trail to motorized vehicles. Located west of Terry, Montana, the 
Calypso Trail is a road that separates two roadless areas that make up 
the Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area. The trail experiences a high 
amount of erosion each year making the trail hazardous at times and 
difficult to maintain. For those reasons, the BLM proposed closure of 
the trail to motorized vehicles.
    To ensure that all available data have been considered, the public 
is asked to assist the BLM in identifying impacts from leaving the 
Calypso Trail open or closing the trail to motorized vehicles. Written 
comments will be accepted until November 13, 1995. Comments may also be 
submitted at an open house meeting to be held October 19, 1995, from 1 
p.m. to 7 p.m. in Room 106 of the Miles Community College in Miles 
City, Montana.

    Dated: September 27, 1995.
Howard A. Lemm,
Acting Deputy State Director, Division of Resources.
