The workshop also included an update on the overall planning process, and followed with presentations and facilitated discussions specific to the cultural resources ORVs that provide the following:

• Legal background for considering cultural resources in the planning process;
• An understanding of the ORVs and their baseline conditions;
• Cultural resource issues that are being considered in the planning process; and
• Potential management actions for protecting and enhancing cultural resource ORVs.
