A new project has been opened in ePlanning and the Draft DNA was copied to the documents folder for public review.
Comments will be accepted through December 7 according to today’s news release.
A 2015 Decision Record authorized the Proposed Action discussed in Section 2.2.1 of a 2015 Final EA.
A roundup at the Fish Creek HMA appears on the October 31 schedule with a start date of January 6. The incident was billed as catch-treat-release and the pesticide of choice is GonaCon Equine.
The DNA asserts that the 2015 analysis fully covers the 2025 roundup and satisfies the requirements of NEPA.
A search of the 2015 EA for “gona” yielded no results, while searches for “zona” and “pzp” yielded numerous results.
Thus, the plan to apply GonaCon in January was not addressed in the original analysis and the assertion in the DNA is not correct.
The HMA, a few miles west of Eureka, NV, is subject to permitted grazing.
