Eastern Idaho Resource Advisory Committee, 21893-21894 [2014-08842]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices Alternative A—No Change This alternative would authorize grazing under the existing management plan. There would be no change to existing allotment or pasture boundaries, season of use, and permitted number of cow/calf pairs (101). No new improvements would be installed, with the exception of a riparian exclosure on the lower Middle Branch LeClerc Creek that was planned and approved prior to this project. Other planned management activities would continue. The relocation of the 1935– 117 road would still be relocated via the 1935–116 road. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Alternative B—No Action Alternative B is the ‘‘No Grazing’’ alternative. The Council for Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) require that a ‘‘no action’’ alternative be developed as a benchmark from which the agency can evaluate the proposed action. No action in grazing management planning is synonymous with ‘‘no grazing’’ and means that livestock grazing would not be authorized within the project area. (USDA–PS 2005a). Under this alternative, livestock grazing would be discontinued on the LeClerc Creek Allotment and the allotment would be closed. The existing Term Grazing Permit would be cancelled pursuant to Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2209.13 part 16.24 which references Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) chapter 36, part 222.4(a)(l). 36 CFR 222.4(a)(l) and states ‘‘except in an emergency, no permit shall be cancelled without 2 years’ prior notification.’’ The requirement is 2 calendar years (January 1-December 31) notification. The authority to cancel the current Term Grazing Permit lies with the Regional Forester and is delegated to the Forest Supervisor as described in Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2204.2 and 2204.3. Additionally, no range improvements or resource protection projects would be implemented. Current Forest-wide programs such as noxious weed management and road maintenance would continue. Range improvements including fences, water systems, and corrals would remain on the allotment but would no longer be the responsibility of the permittee to maintain. Existing range improvements would be removed as needed pending available funding and project requirements. It is the desire of the Forest Service to have all range improvements removed within a 10-year VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:54 Apr 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 time frame but this is subject to change. The Forest Service would attempt to maintain homestead meadows within the project area. The 1935–117 road would be obliterated and decommissioned. Responsible Official The responsible official will be the District Ranger, Gayne Sears, Newport/Sullivan Lake Ranger District, Colville National Forest, 315 N Warren Ave., Newport, WA 99156. Nature of Decision To Be Made An environmental analysis will evaluate site-specific issues, consider management alternatives and analyze the potential effects of the proposed action and alternatives. An environmental impact statement will provide the Responsible Official with the information needed to decide whether to adopt and implement the proposed action, or an alternative to the proposed action, or take no action to reauthorize livestock grazing in the LeClerc Creek Cattle and Horse Grazing Allotment. This EIS will tier to the Colville National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan and its subsequent amendments, which provide overall guidance for land management activities Colville National Forest. • Water quality and stream health compliance with INFISH habitat guidelines, Washington Department of Ecology water quality standards, and the Clean Water Act; • Management of riparian conditions to provide for the continued sustainability of aquatic species; • Protect soil resources -reduce or minimize compaction, sedimentation, displacement and erosion; • Ability of the permittee to manage pastures that are physically separated; • Maintenance of extensive fencing within the allotment; • Protection of Cultural Resources; and • Protection of Endangered Species and their habitat. Scoping Process This notice of intent continues the scoping process, which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. Public comments about this proposal are requested in order to assist in identifying issues, and determining how to best manage the resources, and focus the analysis. 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 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 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. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the agency with the ability to provide the commenter with subsequent environmental documents.
