Purpose


To provide a procedure and requirements for land managers to use to prepare land management plans and for the Acquisition and Restoration Council to use to review such plans. The Council has been using outdated rules for several years that reference previous councils and fail to reference new statutory requirements. This rule amendment will update procedures for preparing management plans for Board of Trustees uplands and for the Council to follow when reviewing such plans, as well as correct technical and other errors. The Department may open any section of chapter 18-2 necessary to achieve this goal.
