The project will develop a management plan for an area of critical environmental concern in northwestern Nevada, according to the description in ePlanning.
The project map puts the location at the northeastern corner of the Bitner HMA, part of the Surprise Complex, and inside the Bitner Allotment.
The allotment may stay in the Improve category permanently because of the ACEC.
The scoping letter is actually a handout that explains the project.
Comments will be accepted through September 30.
The allotment offers 69.1 AUMs per year per thousand acres to livestock, while the HMA offers a paltry 5.6 AUMs per year per thousand acres to wild horses. Why is that?
