Public Lands Planning
September 26, 2005
LEGAL NOTICE
The Bureau of Parks and Lands proposes a modification to
a portion of the Integrated Resource Policy (IRP).
This policy provides land management guidance to the Bureau.
The IRP directs the Bureau “to develop a 10-year management
plan for each Public Reserved and Nonreserved Land Unit, State
Park, and Historic Site. Existing plans will be revised following
the initial 10-year period, and amended according to the policies
in place at that time.”
The Bureau proposes to change the 10-year to a 15-year interval.
This proposed revised interval reflects the intensive and
comprehensive nature of the planning process, and matches
the time frame used for forestry planning. In the interim,
according to the IRP, management plans can be reopened as
needed in any case to address significant changes. The IRP
can be viewed online at the Bureau's web site.

The Bureau will receive written comments on the proposed
modification until October 14th, 2005.
Please email comments to john.titus@maine.gov,
or mail to:
John Titus, Maine Department of Conservation, Bureau of
Parks and Lands, 22 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0022.
