Notice of Intent To Prepare a Kingman

Resource Management Plan

Amendment and Associated

Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent, notice of

scoping period and notice of scoping

meeting.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 and the Federal Land Policy

and Management Act of 1976, the

Bureau of Land Management, Kingman

Field Office, will be preparing a plan

amendment and environmental

assessment (EA) to assess the impacts of

establishing a herd management area in

the Cerbat Mountains. The purpose of a

herd management area is to provide for

the maintenance of the wild horse herd.

The Cerbat Mountains are located north

of Kingman, in Mohave County,

Arizona. The herd management area

could encompass up to approximately

77,000 acres. This notice is intended to

invite the public to participate in

identification of issues and

development of alternatives for the plan

amendment.

DATES: Public scoping meetings to

identify public concerns will be held on

the following dates and locations:

Monday, March 3, 1997, at 5:30 p.m. at

the Chloride Community Center, located

on Payroll Street in Chloride, Arizona,

and Tuesday, March 4, 1997, at 5:30

p.m. at the BLM Office in Kingman

located at 2475 Beverly Avenue,

Kingman, Arizona. Comments relating

to the identification of issues and

alternatives must be postmarked by

March 21, 1997.

ADDRESS: Send comments to: Bureau of

Land Management, Kingman Field

Office, 2475 Beverly Avenue, Kingman,

Arizona 86401.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Don

McClure, Planning and Environmental

Specialist, (520) 757–3161.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with the guidance from 43

CFR 4710.1, the establishment of a herd

management area must be done through

the land use planning process.

Following the establishment of a Herd

Management Area, a plan will be

written to guide the management of the

horses and their habitat.

Anticipated Issues

The resolution of issues will have an

affect on the location of the land for the

herd management area. The following

are the issues: Intermingled Ownership

as it affects the ability of BLM to manage

the horse herd; and domestic horses

grazing in the herd area. There are other

issues associated with management of

the horses, but they are common to any

boundary alternative. These issues are

forage allocation, horse numbers and

distribution, water, lion predation, and

barriers to horse movement. Resolution

of these issues will come after the

establishment of a herd management

area and be within the context of the

Herd Management Area Plan.

Other Relevant Information

The amendment will be developed by

an interdisciplinary team of resource

specialists. The team will include a

project manager, a wildlife specialist,

wild horse and burro specialist, and a

rangeland management specialist.

Complete records of all phases of the

plan amendment process will be

available for public review at the

Kingman Field Office, Kingman,

Arizona.
