BLM Approves Another Nuisance Removal Near Cibola-Trigo HMA

A new project was opened in ePlanning yesterday and an approved CX was copied to the document folder.

There were no opportunities for public comment.

Under the Proposed Action, the only alternative considered, the agency will remove 100 wild burros from the Picacho State Recreation Area and 75 burros from private lands south of Palo Verde, CA.

The incident, to be carried out with baited traps, was prompted by complaints involving property damage and concerns about public health and safety.

It does not appear on the latest schedule.

The National Data Viewer shows the arrangement.

Attachments 1 and 2 in the CX provide details.

Given that both locations are on the California side of the Colorado River, maybe they should be associated with the Chocolate-Mule Mountains HMA?

The HAs are unfit for wild horses and burros, supposedly.
