BLM Kemmerer Releases Carter Lease Allotment Proposed Decision

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kemmerer Field Office has released a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and proposed decision record (DR) for the environmental assessment (EA) of the Carter Lease Allotment grazing permit renewal.
The 257,313 acre Carter Lease Allotment is located in the checkerboard land ownership pattern, 43 percent of which is public land administered by the BLM. The allotment’s north boundary begins approximately three miles southeast of Kemmerer, Wyo., extends south and east to boundaries defined by branches of the Union Pacific Railroad between Granger, Wyo., and Evanston, Wyo., and extends west to the Albert Creek and Cumberland Flats allotments.
An EA was prepared to analyze grazing management practices within the allotment in order to promote healthy, sustainable rangeland ecosystems and continue to meet rangeland health standards.
