| 00-22434 | Fairfield Ranger District Sheep Allotment AMP EIS, Fairfield Ranger District, Elmore and Camas Counties, ID | Notice | The Forest Supervisor of the Sawtooth National Forest gives notice of the agency's intent to prepare an environmental impact statement on a proposal to update the allotment management plans for twelve sheep allotments on the Fairfield Ranger District. This will be done to determine the appropriate livestock management and associated actions, or management changes, needed to provide for recovery of Threatened, Endangered or Sensitive species and meet the requirements established through the Endangered Species Act consultation process. Currently, these grazing allotments have been determined to be "likely to adversely affect" the threatened Bull Trout. The proposal includes the following sheep grazing allotments; North Fork Lime Creek, Kelley Creek, Beaver Creek, Boardman Creek, Salt/ Bowns, Shake Creek, Big Water, Jumbo Mountain, Skeleton Creek, Bridge Creek, Bear Creek and Ross Fork Allotments. The purpose and need for this proposal is a result of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) determination that grazing activities on the Fairfield Ranger District were "likely to adversely" the threatened bull trout. Terms and conditions were issued by the USFWS in a biological opinion to mitigate these adverse effects. One of these required mitigation measures directs the Forest Service to analyze the scope of the effects of livestock grazing on the bull trout by the beginning of the 2001 grazing season. The Forest Service invites comments and suggestions on the scope of the analysis to be included in the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS). In addition, the Forest Service gives notice that it is beginning a full environmental analysis and decision-making process for this proposal so that interested or affected people may know how they can participate in the environmental analysis and contribute to the final decision. The first step in the analysis process is "scoping". A scoping paper is available by contacting the Fairfield Ranger District, Fairfield, Idaho 83327 (208) 764-3202. This paper provides a map identifying the general area affected by this proposal, details regarding the analysis and decision-making process, primary issues identified to date, current Forest Plan management direction for this area, potential alternatives identified to date and general information about the area and current management. The Forest Service welcomes any public comments on this proposal. | 2000-09-01 | 2000 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/09/01/00-22434/fairfield-ranger-district-sheep-allotment-amp-eis-fairfield-ranger-district-elmore-and-camas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-09-01/pdf/00-22434.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The Forest Supervisor of the Sawtooth National Forest gives notice of the agency's intent to prepare an environmental impact statement on a proposal to update the allotment management plans for twelve sheep allotments on the Fairfield Ranger District.... |
