West Mojave Route network project

"The purpose of the Proposed Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) is to amend the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan. The West Mojave Route Network Project (WMRNP) considers seven planning decisions amending the motor vehicle access, recreation and livestock grazing elements within the CDCA Plan for the West Mojave (WEMO) Planning Area. These planning decisions include: change CDCA Plan language that limits routes of travel to existing routes as of 1980, identify travel management areas, change competitive event access, modify off-highway vehicle use on four lakebeds, eliminate the permit requirement for motorized access to the Rand Mountains-Fremont Valley Management Area, change the stop, park and camp limits adjacent to designated routes, and consider reallocating forage from livestock use to wildlife use and ecosystem function in desert tortoise critical habitat"--Letter of transmittal.
