BLM Worland Releases Grazing Permit Renewal EAs
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Worland Field Office announces the availability of two grazing permit renewal/transfer environmental assessments (EAs) for public review and comment.
The EAs have been prepared to address grazing management on the North Grass Creek and South Gooseberry allotments in order to promote healthy, sustainable rangeland ecosystems and to meet rangeland health standards. The allotments are located in Hot Springs and Washakie counties.
The EAs are available for review by visiting the BLM website at http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/NEPA/wfodocs.html. The public comment period runs from June 1 through June 30, 2010. Comments should be addressed to AFM Resources, BLM-Worland Field Office, P.O. Box 119, Worland, WY, 82401. Comments can also be emailed to worland_wymail@blm.gov.
For more information, please contact John Elliott or Cam Henrichsen at 307-347-5100.
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.
