The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is now coordinating with California State Parks to prepare a joint General Plan/Recreation Area Management Plan/California Desert Conservation Area Land Use Plan Amendment (GP/RAMP/LUPA) and Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS).
The Draft Preferred Alternative/Proposed Action outlines a comprehensive management approach for Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) and includes specific discussion on off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation, camping, concessions, special events, and facility development. It also reflects the need to protect natural, cultural, and physical resources at Ocotillo Wells SVRA and seeks to balance resource management with recreation opportunities. The Draft Preferred Alternative/Proposed Action will serve as the foundation for the Preliminary General Plan (GP), Recreation Area Management Plan (RAMP), and California Desert Conservation Act (CDCA) Land Use Plan Amendment (Plan Amendment).

In addition, California State Parks issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) on March 6th that informs agencies and the public that an EIR/EIS is being prepared to address potential impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan/RAMP/LUPA for Ocotillo Wells SVRA.
