The new guard will tie into an existing fence to deter wild horses from moving from the WHR onto other grazing allotments, according to the project description.
The CX, signed on September 22, says the 16-foot guard will be installed on the V2/10 dirt road open to all modes of transportation.
The road has no movement restriction, allowing wild horses to leave the WHR.
The National Data Viewer puts it in the Red Rock Allotment, between the WHR and Redrock Point. Click on map to open in new tab.
By the time the horses reach the device, they will be far off the reservation.
The CX was copied to the project folder on October 6. There were no opportunities for public comment.
