Fire Management Plan
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument » Fire Management Plan » Document List
The NPS analyzed two alternatives that would provide the decision-making framework that 1) analyzes a reasonable range of alternatives to meet project objectives, 2) evaluates issues and impacts to monument resources and values, and 3) identifies mitigation measures to lessen the degree or extent of these impacts. The alternative selected for implementation, Alternative B, will include options for manual fuel load reduction to lower the risk of wildland fires, and prescribed fire as a resource management tool. Alternatives were derived from comments received during public scoping, which occurred in the spring of 2012, and from internal scoping which occurred throughout the preparation of the EA. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed in July, 2013, and is available on this site. Changes to the EA/AEF are included as Errata in the FONSI. Substantive comments and the NPS' responses are also included in the Errata.
