Show BLM States Policy On Range The Bureau of land Management (BLM) has recently announced a new policy regarding maintenance of range improvements. The major element of the policy is that the Bureau of Land Management will no longer maintain structural range improvements, designed primarily to benefit ' livestock grazing, unless maintenance is specified ' otherwise in a cooperative agreement. Structural improvements include fences, wells, troughs, springs, reservoirs, pipelines, cattleguards, etc. Range users will be responsible for total maintenance of these types of improvements after September 1984. Their maintenance will become, a condition of the grazing license or permit. The BLM will maintain nonstructural projects such as brush control, pinyon-juhiper chainings, prescribed' burns, seedings and weed control. |
