Imperial Sand Dunes

the long version

The Imperial Sand Dunes Proposed Recreation Area Management Plan, Proposed Amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area Plan (Proposed RAMP/CDCA Plan Amendment) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) describes and analyzes eight alternatives for managing approximately 214,930 acres of Bureau of Land Management-administered lands within the Imperial Sand Dunes Special Recreation Management Area (ISD SRMA) in Imperial County, California. Information provided by the public, Bureau of Land Management personnel, and other agencies and organizations has been used to develop and analyze the alternatives in the Proposed RAMP/CDCA Plan Amendment and Final EIS. The eight alternatives under consideration generally vary by the allowed level of recreational use and extent of preservation of the area's cultural and natural resources.
