Six grazing management alternatives are presented for consideration and are analyzed in terms of their projected economic, social and environmental effects. Each alternative analyzes a different level of allocating the vegetative resource among competing uses.

This document will be used to determine the proper level of livestock grazing on the public lands, using the multiple use sustained-yield concept. Its contents exemplify the conflicting demands being placed on public lands throughout the West and the concessions necessary to achieve parity between resource needs and resource use. The range land management program selected for the Ellis-Pahsimeroi area will be based upon the analysis presented in this document.

This statement analyzes the economic, social and environmental effects of the proposed action and four alternatives. The proposal and alternatives analyze different levels of vegetative allocations to wildlife, livestock and other uses. It analyzes alternative methods by which livestock grazing would be managed as well as necessary support facilities (such as, water developments, fencing, brush control and revegetation projects). Alternative Four of the Big Desert grazing statement is selected as the preferred alternative.
