Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area Livestock Management Plan and Environmental Assessment

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area » Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area Livestock Management Plan and Environmental Assessment » Document List

Lake Roosevelt NRA is developing a Livestock Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (LMPEA). The purpose of the Lake Roosevelt NRA Draft LMPEA is to manage grazing activities that were specifically authorized by federal law in 2001 in a manner that is consistent with the National Park Service mission and policies, and the park's purposes. This plan is only relevant to the land within Lake Roosevelt NRA. Seven permittees are authorized to graze livestock within the park.

Several issues were identified during the scoping process, including water access and water quality, noxious weeds, visitor use conflicts, shoreline and wetland preservation, sublease of special use permits, fencing, and timing of grazing and duration of use.

The Draft LMPEA evaluates three alternatives: the No Action Alternative, Moderately Manage Grazing Activities, and the Proposed Action Alternative.

Public scoping for this plan began in September 2002. Public scoping has ended for this EA.

The document is now available for public review.
