Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to renew four 10-year grazing permits for livestock producers located in the Baker Resource Area, Vale District BLM. BLM has been directed to renew and reissue all 10-year public land livestock grazing permits by October of 2009. The purpose of this environmental assessment (EA) is to analyze the environmental and socio-economic impacts of four different management alternatives, including continuation of current management, on the Pritchard Creek BLM allotment described in the "Rangeland Standards Assessment, Evaluation, and Determination: Pritchard Creek Geographic Unit" (USDI 2007).
