BLM approves permit for 13 outcome-based grazing allotments in southeast Nevada
ELY, Nev. — The Bureau of Land Management has approved a 10-year outcome-based grazing permit across thirteen sheep and cattle allotments totaling 562,287 acres in Lincoln, Nye, and White Pine counties, the Bristlecone Field Office and Basin and Range National Monument management areas.
The permittee and the associated allotments were selected to participate in the BLM Outcome-Based Grazing Authorizations program, which offers a collaborative approach and provide flexibility in grazing use — including potential changes to use levels, livestock type, season of use, and proposed range improvements — to achieve shared resource and operational objectives. Flexibility is needed to adapt and provide timely and responsive adjustments in grazing due to changes in weather, forage production, fire, drought, and other variable range conditions.
Additional information, including the final environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact, is available at the BLM National NEPA Register. For more information, please contact BLM Project Manager Alicia Styles at [email protected] or 775-251-5260.
