The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is launching a 30-day scoping period through March 5 for the Cedar Mountains Herd Management Area outside of Salt Lake City, UT.
The Salt Lake City Field Office is proposing to remove more than 600 horses from the herd management area, as the population is estimated at 790 animals, while the appropriate management level is only 190-390 horses. The proposed gather would take place no sooner than fall 2022.
The BLM will conduct scoping and then prepare an environmental assessment, which will disclose project details and alternatives.
Comments must be submitted by March 5 and may be submitted at eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2017715/510.
Written comments may also be submitted to Salt Lake Field Office, Attention: Tami Howell, 491 North John Glenn Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Be sure to include project number DOI-BLM-UT-W010-2022-0005-EA.
