The following standard procedures and design elements would be adhered to in implementation
of the proposed construction of range improvements within the Klamath Falls Resource Area.
• Inventories and surveys for cultural resources, threatened and endangered species, and
special status species would be conducted prior to authorization of any project construction,
and appropriate mitigation implemented to reduce or eliminate potential effects.
• Surface disturbance at all project sites would be held to a minimum. Disturbed soil
would be rehabilitated to blend into surrounding soil surface and reseeded as needed
with a mixture of native grasses, forbs, and shrubs as applicable to replace ground cover,
reduce soil loss from wind and water erosion, and discourage the potential establishment
of any invasive, non-native plant species.
• Where possible, existing roads and trails would provide access for range improvement
construction. If needed, unimproved trails and tracks would be created to reach
construction sites and provide access for future maintenance of the improvements.
Additional design features specific to the individual types of improvements are described below.
L – 1264
Appendix L. Grazing
Reservoirs
• Development of reservoirs would involve the construction of pits and dams to
impound water for livestock and wildlife use as shown in Illustration 1.
• Pits would be in dry lake beds or other natural depressions. Dams would be
constructed in drainages.
• Water rights applications would be coordinated with applicable agencies, irrigation districts, and other interested parties.
• Water rights would be obtained from the Oregon Water Resources Department
prior to construction.
• Water storage capacity would range from 1.0 to 3.0 acre-feet.
• Dams would be located, if possible, to take advantage of natural spillway sites;
otherwise a spillway would be constructed for the reservoir. The slopes of the
dam must be a minimum 3 to 1 on the upstream face and minimum of 2 to 1 on
the downstream face. Minimum width of the top of all dams would be 12 feet.
• The spillway would be designed to minimize the risk of the dam being overtopped during the design life of the structure.
• Fill material, if needed, would come from the impoundment area and/or a borrow
area for dams.
• Excavated material from pits would be piled adjacent to the pit. Topsoil would
be stockpiled and used to rehabilitate the borrow areas.

Appendix L. Grazing
Fencing
• Fences would be designed to prevent the passage of livestock without stopping
the movement of wildlife as shown in Illustration 2.
• Wire spacing would follow the specifications found in Illustrations 3. The
majority of fences would be constructed as follows: 4 wire with the bottom wire
16-18” off the ground with the sequence of the remaining three wires above this
being 6”, 6”, and 12”; the maximum height of the fence (ground to top wire)
would be 42”.
• The bottom wire on all fencing would be two-strand smooth wire, not barbed, to
facilitate antelope crossings.
• Steel “t-post” spacing would be between 16’ and 24’ depending on local conditions.
• Brace posts, tree scabs, and/or rock jacks (rock cribs) would be constructed to
enhance fence integrity with one at least every ¼ mile.
• No woven wire “sheep” fences would be constructed on public lands.
• Brushing and tree limb removal will be limited to only that necessary for surveying, placement, and construction of a fence.
• Where fences cross existing roads, either gates or cattleguards would be installed.

If future rangeland improvement projects are proposed beyond those listed above, additional
site-specific analysis of the environmental consequences would be necessary. Such changes
could result from new initiatives or funding sources, changes in management priorities, new laws/
regulations, litigation, site specific activity planning, or future Rangeland Health Assessments.
Grazing Allotments in the Klamath Falls
Resource Area and Medford District
The Draft EIS provides a summary of the number and acres of grazing allotments for the Klamath
Falls Resource Area and the Medford District. The following tables contain detailed information
