BOISE, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking public comments on the renewal of a grazing permit in the Silver City grazing allotment. The project seeks to maintain or improve land health and address resource impacts through the renewal of the grazing permit.
This scoping period allows the public, organizations and other interested parties to identify potential issues that the BLM may opt to include in the environmental analysis. Comments are most helpful if they provide specific actions, resources or issues to be considered and analyzed. The BLM will accept comments throughout the scoping period: June 1-30, 2019.
“The scoping process is a critical part of our planning process and ensures public involvement,” said BLM Owyhee Field Manager Donn Christiansen.
As part of the scoping period, the BLM will host a public meeting on June 10, 2019, from 5-7 p.m. at the BLM Owyhee Field Office, 20 First Ave. West, Marsing, ID 83639. Resource specialists will be on hand to talk about the process and answer questions.
