Medicine Lodge Watershed Environmental Assessment Ready for Review
The EA analyzes livestock management, structural projects, forest and woodland health treatments, prescribed burns, and travel management on 16 grazing allotments and 1,609 acres of unallotted parcels within the Medicine Lodge Watershed.
The document provides descriptions and analyses of up to three management alternatives. After reviewing public comments, the Dillon Field Manager, will select one of the alternatives—or a combination of alternatives—for implementation.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
