The complaint alleges that permitted grazing in three BLM allotments has threatened endangered species in riparian areas along the Big Sandy River.
The news release said the agency’s failure to control illegal grazing turns streams and streamside habitats into trampled cesspools.
The allotments overlap the Big Sandy HMA, an area set aside for wild burros.
Those animals were not named in the suit and the announcement suggested they had only a minor role in the damage.
The National Data Viewer shows the arrangement.
The Allotment Master Report puts all three in the Improve category.
