Alternative E: Rangeland Health
Standards would be achieved over the
life of the MMP by making
modifications to grazing management
including temporary grazing
suspensions on allotments which fail
Utah BLM’s Rangeland Health
Standards for upland soils, desired
species, and riparian/wetland
functionality. This alternative proposes
an emphasis on vegetation restoration
activity without structural range
improvements. Grazing permits would
be renewed with modified Terms and
Conditions consistent with the actions
proposed in this alternative.
Potentially impacted resources and
conditions include: Livestock
management, compliance with
Standards and Guidelines for Rangeland
Health, socio-economics, cultural
resources, and recreation.
Jeff Rawson,
Associate Utah State Director.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

a framework to guide subsequent
management decisions on
approximately 1.3 million acres of BLMadministered public lands and 1.1

being managing under its 1989 RMP,

On May 16, 2007, the public comment
period on the Little Snake DRMP/DEIS
ended. During the public comment
period, the EPA, in consultation with
BLM, identified areas where additional
air quality information would improve
the existing analysis in the DEIS.
As a result, the BLM has prepared an
additional air quality analysis to inform
the public and allow public comment
on the data and conclusions. BLM will
only accept comments from the public
pertaining to the new air quality
information. Comments that are
substantive and in relation to the
material contained in the Additional Air
Quality Impact Assessment will be
responded to in the Final EIS if received
within the 45 days after the NOA is
published in the Federal Register.
