(DILLON, Mont.) – The Bureau of Land Management’s Dillon Field Office has released the Red Rock/Lima Watershed Environmental Assessment for public comment.
The watershed in Beaverhead County stretches south of Dillon along I-15 to the Continental Divide, covering about 69,000 acres of BLM-administered land in 28 grazing allotments. There are approximately 400 acres within the watershed that are un-allotted.
After reviewing the environmental assessment and considering public comment, the Dillon field manager will select one or a combination of alternatives for implementation.
The environmental assessment is available online at the Bureau’s ePlanning webpage at: https://go.usa.gov/xQFJC
