(HAVRE, Mont.) - The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) North Central Montana District is renewing grazing permits and leases for 103 grazing allotments in the Bears Paw to Missouri River Breaks planning area. This planning area contains 103,741 acres of public land mainly located in the southern portion of Phillips, Blaine and Chouteau counties and administered by the BLM’s Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument and Havre Field Office.
The BLM completed an Environmental Assessment as part of the renewal, which focused on ensuring Standards of Rangeland Health are being met and will continue to be met within the planning area. The Environmental Assessment was based on a comprehensive summary of resource conditions on public land within the planning area that was finalized in the spring of 2017.
All of the documents related to this project, including the Evaluation Report, Environmental Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, and Notice of Proposed Decision can be accessed on the BLM ePlanning website at https://go.usa.gov/xEmyH.
More information about this project is available by contacting the Havre Field Office at 406-262-2820.
