Notice of Availability for the Montana/Dakotas Standards for Rangeland Health and Guidelines for Livestock Grazing Management Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Samenvatting

The draft environmental impact statement (EIS) documents the effects of adopting regional standards for rangeland health and guidelines for livestock grazing management on BLM-administered lands east of the Continental Divide in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The proposed standards and guidelines would be incorporated into nine BLM land use plans that cover about 8.3 million acres of BLM-administered land. This action is proposed in accordance with revised regulations for livestock grazing on BLM-administered lands (43 CFR 4100). The proposed standards and guidelines were developed in partnership with four Resource Advisory Councils, and with other public input.
