Management Alternatives And Environmental Assessment, Mormon Row Historic District Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States, Department Of The Interior, National Park Service

Environmental Assessments (WY)

Time and the harsh climate have taken an extreme toll. Most structures that remain stand abandoned and in need of repair. The farms are not interpreted and most visitors probably do not even know that the historic area is within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park. Nevertheless, the area receives a light but steady amount of visitation. Visitors remark about inadequate parking, lack of interpretation, the deteriorated condition of many of the historic structures, …

Environmental Assessment For Wild Horse Gathering Outside Wild Horse Herd Management Areas, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

The Bureau of Land Management is responsible for the welfare of wild horses. The wild horse program is under constant scrutiny by the public for actions concerning wild horse management and gathering. Within the Rawlins field office (RFO) there is a substantial acreage of "checkerboard" lands. Approximately 50 percent of these lands are BLM-administered public lands and 50 percent are private lands controlled by many private entities. The northern portition of the gather area contains this type of land pattern.

Management For The Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite Big Horn County, Wyoming, Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

A review of existing land-use planning decisions is being conducted to evaluate how to best manage public lands, resources, educational opportunities, and other values associated with the recent discovery of dinosaur tracks on BLM-administered public lands near Shell, Wyoming. The tracks were not addressed in the Washakie Resource Management Plan (RMP) which was completed in 1988. A review of BLM's planning decisions for the discovery area is needed to evaluate the adequacy of existing management prescriptions for the protection of the tracks and related values.

Environmental Assessments (WY)

The purpose of this EA is to amend the Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) for the Wilderness Management Standards and Guidelines (S&Gs). The need for the revised S&Gs is to provide more definable and measurable standards related to the items described in the Proposed Action. Current S&Gs do not provide sufficient direction to determine the trend of the Cloud Peak Wilderness (CPW) condition or require conflicting actions. The proposed S&Gs will facilitate determination of the trend of physical, biological and social aspects of the wilderness resource.

Environmental Assessment Animal Damage Control On Public Lands Administered By The U.S. Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management, Casper District, Wyoming, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recognize that native animals are resources of value and interest to the American people. Animal damage control (ADC) management may be required to minimize depredations to livestock and wildlife species; to protect threatened and endangered species; to maintain viable populations of native wildlife species; to preserve ecologically unique areas; to minimize rodent and other wildlife damage to cropland, grassland, and forestland; and, to suppress animal-borne diseases. ADC functions as a supplement to, not a substitute for, standard husbandry practices and techniques.
