& Plans : Projects : Forest Range Allotments - 6 Allotments
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 1995 Rescissions Act, the purpose of these projects is to authorize livestock grazing on the six separate grazing allotments. Forest lands with these allotments have been identified as suitable for domestic livestock grazing in the Forest Plan. It is Forest Service policy to make forage available to qualified livestock operators from lands suitable for grazing consistent with land management plans (FSM 2203.1).
The Proposed Action (PA) consists of four components: Permitted Livestock, Range Improvements, Adaptive Management, and Monitoring. The Proposed Action follows current guidance from Forest Service Handbook 2209.13, Chapter 90 (Grazing Permit Administration; Rangeland Management Decision making).The Proposed Action includes the authorization of livestock grazing as a management practice and the required management practices necessary to maintain or achieve desired resource conditions.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) and Decision Notice (DN) has also been issued for the El Pueblo, Grass Mountain, Rio de la Casa allotments.
