Bureau of Land Management seeks input on fence improvements north of Emmett

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking public comment on a proposed fencing modification plan for the Linson Creek grazing allotment located 20 miles northeast of Emmett.

An environmental assessment will analyze the proposed construction of a total of one mile of fencing to reduce recreation and livestock conflicts. The current layout of fences has led to instances of gates being left open and livestock wandering into sensitive streamside vegetation to feed.

The BLM will accept scoping comments through May 27, 2022.

“This scoping period will allow the public and other interested parties to identify potential issues for the BLM to consider,” said Four Rivers Assistant Field Manager Ammon Wilhelm. “Comments are most helpful if they provide specific actions, resources or issues that should be addressed.”

Maps and information about the project are available at: https://go.usa.gov/xu7RD (case sensitive).

Comments will be accepted through the following means:

• Email: BLM_ID_FourRiversOffice@blm.gov
• Fax: 208-384-3326
• Surface mail:  Brent Ralston, Four Rivers Field Manager, 3948 Development Ave, Boise, ID 83705

Please note that before including their personal identifying information (address, email, phone number), commenters should be aware that their entire comment – including their personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While those commenting can ask in their comments to withhold this information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that they will be able to do so.

For more information, contact the BLM Four Rivers Field Office at 208-384-3300.
