BLM, USFS, NEPA, and all Gov agencies have created many obstacles confronting the miners of today. The following presentation offers some dramatic insight as to how Gov can be challenged resolving/absolving many of the adverse problems facing users of the public lands. This is a 4 part series and is worthy of watching. It also reminds the mining community of the impact a mining district can have upon the regulatory agencies creating policies today that adversely affect the mining community (as well as other user groups). The speaker has a broad background in Government and LAW;..... yet has become an outspoken advocate against the overreach of gov agency policies. The specific topic upon which this presentation focuses "has played/and is playing" a major role countering the USFS Travel Management Plans (TMP).
Coordination
Coordination is an effective tool that, properly used, mandates federal agencies must incorporate local concerns and plans into their decision-making processes.
Learn how to use Coordination in your community.
“Coordination” is a commonly-used word, but when used by the federal government it has legal significance. When requested and certain conditions have been met, federal agencies are required to incorporate local concerns and plans into its decision-making process.
The right of citizen participation in federal decisions is guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The requirement for coordination with local community authorities is incorporated into the:
•National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
•Federal Land Policy and Management Act
•National Forest Management Act
•Endangered Species Act
•Clean Water Act
•Clean Air Act
•and many, many more
Any official that is elected on the general ballot, and the corresponding entities, have the right to demand coordination. This includes county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorneys, fire districts, water districts, and more. But only if the local community knows enough about its rights to make this request.
The request must be initiated by the local authority. Federal agents are not required to tell or educate local communities about their rights. Thus, through intimidation and public ignorance, federal agencies get away with acting as if they have dictatorial powers. They don’t. Once requested, local authorities must be brought into the federal decision-making process, even before public input is required.
