SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT ROD/
CMP/

[[Page 58463]]

RMPA was developed with broad public participation through a two-year 
collaborative planning process. This ROD/CMP/RMPA addresses management 
along a 10-mile wide corridor crossing approximately 60 miles of public 
land in the planning area. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT ROD/
CMP/RMPA is designed to achieve or maintain desired future conditions 
developed through the planning process. It includes a series of 
management actions to meet the desired resource conditions for the 
historic trail route and trail resources, including the visual 
resources within the trail corridor, recreation opportunities 
associated with the trail and other uses, energy and minerals, land and 
realty uses, livestock grazing, vegetation, noxious weeds, soils, 
water, and air quality.
    The approved El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT CMP/RMPA is 
essentially the same as the Preferred Alternative in the Proposed El 
Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT CMP/RMPA/Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (PCMP/FEIS), published in April 2004. BLM received no 
protests to the PCMP/RMPA/FEIS. No inconsistencies with State or local 
plans, policies, or programs were identified during the Governor 
consistency review of the PCMP/RMPA/FEIS. As a result, only minor 
editorial modifications were made in preparing the ROD/CMP/RMPA. These 
modifications corrected errors that were noted during review of the 
PCMP/RMPA/FEIS and provide further clarification for some of the 
decisions.
