The Decision Record authorizes Alternative II, the Proposed Action, discussed in Section 2.2 of the Final EA.
Approximately 3,371 wild horses will be removed from Herd Areas formerly known as the Great Divide Basin, Salt Wells Creek and Adobe Town HMAs.
There are no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range. The goal is 100% removal, which may take several years to achieve.
The project folder also includes a summary of public comments.
The incident is on the latest schedule with a start date of July 15.
AMLs in the affected areas were reduced to zero as a result of legal action taken by the Rock Springs Grazing Association.
