Guidance for the amendment process comes from the following sources: The Wilderness Study Policy, the National Environmental Policy Act (regulations in 43, No. 230, November 29, 1978), the Wilderness Act of 1964, and the BLM Planning Regulations (published in 44, No. 153, August 7, 1979). The wilderness amendment process is best described as a flowing, continuous procedure but with certain steps that need to be understood. The following is a brief outline of these important steps. First, wilderness issues were identified. These issues are the conflicts that must be evaluated before any recommendations on the suitability or nonsuitability as wilderness can be made. From these issues, criteria are developed that direct how the evaliiation will be Lower Grape Creek A total of 22 public meetings/workshops were used to identify the issues. In addition the Wilderness Study Policy identified national issues and criteria. See Appendix A for a detailed description of criteria. The second step, evaluation, assessed the impacts that wilderness designation would have and compared the losses and gains. Boundary adjustments were identified for some study areas and assessed. This information was recorded as the Management Situation Analysis (MSA). From these evaluations and findings preliminary alternatives were developed and four open houses were held in January 1982. The public was asked to comment on these preliminary alternatives to determine if they would be sufficient for assessment of wilderness suitability in an environmental impact statement (EIS). This draft EIS documents, for public review and comment, the results of impact assessment for the alternatives one of which at this time is preferred for the various WSAs.
