Description: The Battle Mountain Field Office proposes a change in fire management. Historically, the management approach taken over the approximately 4.3 million acres of public land within the Shoshone-Eureka Planning Area managed by the Battle Mountain Field Office has been one of full or modified suppression for all wildland fires. Very limited use of prescribed fire has occurred. The Proposed Action is designed to address management of wildland fire, prescribed fire, and mechanical and chemical fuels management treatments that would result in the most beneficial effects and the least impact to the environment in the Planning Area.
