Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of this project is to
determine if livestock grazing will
continue to be authorized on the
allotments, and if it is to continue, how
to best utilize adaptive management
strategies to maintain or achieve desired
conditions and meet forest plan
objectives. Livestock grazing is currently
occurring on most of the allotments
under existing allotment management
plans (AMPs) and through direction
provided in the Annual Operating
Instructions (AOI).
Proposed Action
The proposed action is to continue
livestock grazing using adaptive
management strategies to meet or move
toward meeting Forest Plan and
allotment-specific desired conditions.
This may include changing livestock
management strategies as well as
construction of additional range
improvements (fences and water
developments). The proposed action
also includes the use of various fuel
management methods within portions of
some allotments.
desired conditions in the defined
timeframe.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent continues the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. A scoping document
for this project is planned to be
available March 2009.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions. The submission of timely
and specific comments can affect a
reviewer’s ability to participate in
subsequent administrative appeal or
judicial review.

Possible Alternatives
Two additional alternatives have been
identified to date: (1) No action; remove
livestock grazing from these allotments
and no additional fire and fuel
management actions over what are
already approved, and (2) No change;
continuance of current management
strategies.
Responsible Official
The District Rangers that administer
the term grazing permis are the
responsible officials. They are: Clarke
McClung, Tongue Ranger District,
Bighorn National Forest, 2013 Eastside
2nd Street, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801,
Dave Sisk, Medicine Wheel/Paintrock
Ranger District, 604 East Main Street,
Lovell, Wyoming 82431, and Mark
Booth, Powder River Ranger District,
1415 Fort Street, Buffalo, Wyoming
82834.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Responsible Officials will
consider the results of the analysis and
its finding and then document the final
decision in one or more Records of
Decision (ROD). The decisions will
determine whether or not to authorize
livestock grazing, adaptive management
strategies, design criteria, monitoring
and fuel management activities on all,
part, or none of the allotments, and if so,
what adaptive management design
criteria, adaptive options, and
monitoring will be implemented so as to
meet or move toward meeting the
