Abstract
The EA analyzes modification of the South Steens Allotment Management Plan and effects to wild horses, grazing, and Wilderness Study Area (WSA) management in South Steens Allotment (#6002) from implementing Section 113 (e) (2), Section 202 (d) (2) and Title VI of the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act (Steens Act) of 2000. The purpose is to analyze the need for replacement of live, reliable, late-season water for livestock and wild horses within South Steens Allotment while preventing impairment of wilderness suitability.
