BOISE, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments on the renewal of two grazing permits in the Rockville grazing allotment. The project seeks to maintain or improve land health and address resource impacts through the renewal of grazing permits.

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: May 14, 2018 – June 11, 2018.

“The scoping process is a critical part of ensuring the public has input into management of public lands,"said BLM Boise District Manager Lara Douglas.

As part of the scoping period, the BLM will host a public meeting on May 31, 2018, from 4-7 p.m. at the Marsing American Legion Community Hall,126 S Bruneau Hwy, Marsing, ID 83639. Resource specialists will be on hand to talk about the process and answer questions.
