Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Uinkaret Mountains
Landscape Restoration Project,
Arizona Strip, Mohave County, AZ
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA), and the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) Grand
Canyon-Parashant National Monument
and Arizona Strip Field Office, St.
George, Utah, intend to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Uinkaret Mountains Landscape
Restoration Project and by this notice is
announcing the beginning of the
scoping process to solicit public
comments and identify issues.
DATES: This notice initiates the public
scoping process for the EIS. Comments
on issues may be submitted in writing
until November 20, 2014. Two public
open-house meetings will be held—one
in St. George, Utah, and one in
Mesquite, Nevada. The dates and
locations of these meetings will be
announced at least 15 days in advance
through local media, newspapers and
the BLM Web sites at: https://
www.blm.gov/az/st/en/fo/grand_
canyon-parashant.html, and https://

during preparation of the Draft EIS, all
comments must be received prior to the
close of the 30 day scoping period or 15
days after the last public meeting,
whichever is later. The BLM will
provide additional opportunities for
public participation upon publication of
the Draft EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
is proposing to conduct the Uinkaret
Mountains Landscape Restoration
Project located on public lands
administered by the Grand CanyonParashant National Monument and
Arizona Strip Field Office in Mohave
County, Arizona. The project area
encompasses approximately 128,535
acres. Individual areas ranging from
several acres to several thousand acres
would be treated using a variety of
methods including manual, mechanical,
chemical, management of wildfires, use
of prescribed fire, and seeding
depending on the resource management
goals and desired outcomes for the
specific treatment area. Grand CanyonParashant National Monument and the
Arizona Strip Field Office completed
interdisciplinary land health
evaluations of existing resource
conditions throughout the project area.
These evaluations identified areas
where one or more of the Standards for
Rangeland Health were not being met.
The information from these land health
evaluations will be used in development
of the Uinkaret Mountains Landscape
Restoration Project. The project will be
conducted in conformance with the
Grand Canyon-Parashant National
Monument and Arizona Strip Field
Office Resource Management Plans and
Records of Decision approved January
29, 2008.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the

environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issues:
• Excessive fuel loadings, including
closed-canopy stands and ladder fuels,
are contributing to the risk of large highintensity wildfires, and posing a threat
to resources including wildlife habitat,
species diversity, wildland urban
interface areas, and the ponderosa pine
ecosystem in the Mt. Trumbull area
which is identified as a biologic
resource of scientific interest to be
protected in the Monument
proclamation.
• Past management practices, such as
timber harvest, livestock grazing, and
fire suppression have affected
vegetation communities; this has altered
species composition, structure and
function in many portions of the project
area including within designated
wilderness.
• Pinyon and juniper species are
encroaching or expanding into the
sagebrush and ponderosa pine
communities causing a decline in
species diversity, hydrologic function,
and a decrease in the quality of
important wildlife habitat, as well as
habitat fragmentation.
• Accelerated soil erosion in parts of
the project area is decreasing nutrient
cycling and soil productivity.
• Habitat conditions have declined in
areas with sagebrush monoculture and
continuous closed canopy stands,
resulting in a lack of species diversity
and accelerated soil erosion.
The BLM anticipates that potential
direct and indirect impacts of the
project will be mitigated to an
acceptable level onsite. The BLM will
consider and analyze potential regional
mitigation actions through the NEPA
process.
The BLM will use NEPA public
participation requirements to assist the
agency in satisfying the public
involvement requirements under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C.
470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
The information about historic and
cultural resources within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
Uinkaret Mountains Landscape
Restoration Project will assist the BLM
in identifying and evaluating impacts to
such resources in the context of both
NEPA and Section 106 of the NHPA.
The BLM will consult with Indian
tribes on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal
concerns, including impacts on Indian
trust assets and potential impacts to
