Another case of wild horse overpopulation?
Nope. This one involves our stewards of the public lands.
A 2018 assessment found five allotments in southeastern Oregon and two in northern Nevada that did not meet standards for rangeland health, according to Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the Final Scoping Report.
The map on page M-3 of Appendix M shows the arrangement.
The November 27 news release said the EIS considers a range of actions to meet those standards.
Curiously, Alternative D reflects proposals submitted by the permittees—the persons responsible for current conditions.
The Scoping Report said there were no HMAs in the project area.
The EIS was copied to the project folder with other supporting documents.
Comments will be accepted through January 13.
The base property associated with the Campbell Allotment, one of the five in Oregon, was listed for sale earlier this year.
