There was a record turnout for the December 27 referendum
election in which voters approved the $6 million gaming
acility to be built at Kan - Nee -
keeping with this tradition, the Warm
Springs Tribal Council adopted
Resolution 7410 in 1986, mandating
the use of an integrated approach to
resource planning and management.
The purpose of integrated resource
management planning is to provide
for a healthy environment and a
prosperous society. As the local
population grows and the commu
nity expands, greater demands are
placed on natural resources.
To make certain the base of natu
ral resources is not depleted. Tribal
Council has laid the foundation for
integrated resource planning. The
process will guide the community's
development and ensure that bounti
ful natural resources continue to be
available for generations to come.
A total of 1 5 issues affecting natu
ral resources have been identified
and described in the IRMP II scoping
document The issues span a broad
spectrum of environmental, cultural
and economic subjects, including
native plants, livestock grazing, wa
ter quality, wildlife habitat, residen
tial housing and recreational oppor
tunity. Some issues apply only to the
non- forested area while others per
tain to all reservation lands.
Following each of the issues is a

more specific under the objecuves
heading. Finally, a description of the
landscape anticipates conditions that
would be brought about by the
implementation of IRMP II.
The scoping document does not
represent a final statement on the
management of natural resources. It
only outlines the steps that need to be
taken in order to reach the most de
sirable goals.
After the public comment period,
the IRMP II team will put together
put together a draft plan with a range
of alternauves that represent various
degrees of resource management and
their probable effects. The draft plan
and environmental assessment is
scheduled for completion in the
spring of 1995.
A final IRMPII plan, establishing
specific direction for implementa
tion and monitoring of integrated re
source management decisions, is also
expected to be finished in 1995.
