By Charles Pekow — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to update its Utah resource management plans. It will perform environmental assessments to update plans dating to 2008 for its Price, Moab, and Vernal field offices. The BLM is specifically looking at rewriting plans for the McCoy Flats Trail System near Vernal City. Federal law calls for promoting mountain biking in the area. BLM is considering setting boundaries for the trail area and balancing recreation with other uses (grazing, mineral extraction). It may also come up with specific trail management plans.
