VICTORVILLE - After 13 years of often contentious debate and sometimes
reluctant compromise, a federal land-use plan for the western Mojave Desert is
nearing completion.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is preparing its response to 33 written
protests to the plan, which would regulate 3.2 million acres of federal land
in a 6.4-million-acre planning area in four counties.
The sweeping plan outlines a strategy to protect the endangered desert
tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel along with nearly 100 other sensitive
animal and plant species while streamlining procedures for potential
developers to comply with state and federal endangered species acts before
moving ahead with projects in the fast-growing region.
