SUMMARY:

Jkt 247001
Conservation, proposed the BOSH
Project to treat up to 617,000 acres of
early-stage western juniper
encroachment in southwestern Idaho.
The conversion of sagebrush-steppe
communities to juniper woodlands is a
major threat to greater sage-grouse in
southwestern Idaho. As junipers
encroach into sagebrush habitat,
sagebrush-steppe vegetation eventually
dies because it is unable to compete
with junipers for water, nutrients, space
and sunlight.
The BLM will use several treatment
methods to remove early-stage western
juniper, include hand-cutting,
prescribed fire and mastication.
The BLM began meeting with internal
groups and external collaborators to
discuss and develop the project
proposal in 2013. The BLM held a 30day public scoping period from January
20 to February 20, 2015, to collect
comment and feedback that would aid
the BLM in project development.
Comments concerned effects to wildlife
habitat (especially sage-grouse and
migratory birds), soils, native plant
communities, sensitive plants, spread of
noxious and invasive weeds, hydrology
and riparian areas, fisheries, wilderness
values, visual resources, Areas of
Critical Environmental Concern,
recreation, cultural resources and social
values.
The BLM published the Draft EIS for
BOSH on November 18, 2016. The BLM
considered and incorporated comments
into the Final EIS. Public comments
resulted in clarifications, but did not
significantly change alternatives
considered.
In response to public comment, the
BLM (1) modified focal treatment areas
to reflect updated vegetation data and to
remove some Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern; (2) developed
Alternative C1, which expanded project
boundaries to increase connectivity
between treatment areas and include
additional habitat; (3) removed all
wilderness areas from treatment
boundaries, and (4) added a carbon
sequestration analysis.
The BLM released the Final EIS for
the BOSH Project on February 9, 2018.
On February 5, 2019, Joseph R. Balash,
the Department of the Interior’s
Assistant Secretary for Land and
Minerals Management, signed a Record
of Decision selecting Alternative C1 for
implementation. That approval
constitutes the final decision of the
Department and, in accordance with the
regulations at 43 CFR 4.410, is not
subject to appeal under Departmental
regulations found in 43 CFR part 4.
