How the BLM plans to manage the ISDRA will affect the way we enjoy the dunes. By law, the BLM must submit their PROPOSED plan to the public so we can comment on it. It decides how the dunes will be run for the next 10 to 15 years.

At this time, the plan preferred by the BLM includes the following:
• RIDING IN CENTRAL DUNES BY PERMIT ONLY - only 75 per week to be issued
• CURFEWS AT ALL MAJOR HILLS
• ALCOHOL BAN
• CAMPING RESTRICTIONS AND CAPACITY LIMITS - limit of 55,403 visitors
• DUNE USE ENVIRONMENTAL TEST REQUIRED
• REOPENING ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE TEMPORARY CLOSURES
• SUSPEND ALL OPERATIONS IF WIND GUSTS EXCEED 25 MPH
• SUSPEND ALL OHV OPERATIONS DURING SECOND STAGE SMOG ALERTS

The ASA, in conjunction with the other off road groups, have compiled many thoughts on what our comments should be. These thoughts must be structured and presented in such a way that the BLM accepts them as valid comments - WE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS AT THE MEETINGS LISTED BELOW. FORM LETTERS WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE. We have until June 28th to submit our comments.

REMEMBER: the final EIS and RAMP will provide the PLAN for running the ISDRA for the next 10 to 15 years. In its present form, the plan contains many restrictions and many ways to lock us out of the dunes. We are in a very good position to influence the final plan. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

Please plan to attend one of these meetings - your right to ride depends on it. We will notify you as additional details and meetings are finalized.
