Summary: The proposed action is to split the John T. Murtha (#2597) allotment to match the private property ownership pattern, creating a new grazing allotment (Corridor #2677, 80 acres, 6 AUMs). Also, transfer of existing lease for the Hay Creek (#2598) and the remaining portion of the John T. Murtha (8774 acres, 258 AUMs) allotments from James Murtha, Patrick Murtha and Mary Chambers to Western Rivers Conservancy. The existing Terms and Conditions and management practices of the lease would remain unchanged.
