CHANGE: Replace the Active AUMs of 2522 with 2605.

REASON:
After the SMCMPA of2000 land exchanges, an agreement was. developed by
Lowther (Rex Clemens) Ranch Inc. and accepted by the BLM that allocated 2605 Active Use
AUMs to the Smyth-Kiger Allotmen1 #5331 . When the Smyth-Kiger Anotment was transferoed
from Lov..'ther (Clemens) Ranch Inc. to Roaring Springs Ranch, Inc. in:2002. 26Q3 Active Use
AUMs were transferred. Then in January of2003, Roaring Springs. Ranch, Inc. trans:ferred 'the
permi't to Horne Ranch LLC and 2603 Active Use AUMs were again tram.sfened:., fn July of2004
a decision was signed that removed the West Kiger Pasture from the Smyth-Kiger Allotment.
This decision removed 310 AUMs of Active Use from the 2605 AUMs allocated to the aUotment
making the total Active Use 2295 AUMs. There are no decnsions or records that show where the
number 2522 that was used in the August 2005 Steens/Andrews RMP coone froro.

REASON:

RMP. Final EIS (pages 2-157 and 2- 158) refers to le.gislative mandate for non~rnpa innent for
suitabHity of the WSA for prese.rvation as wilderness. These pages also summarize the IMP. As
the whole IMP will be used for consideration of WSA management, as well as additional
requirements of the Steens Act which was put into play following the completion of the IMP,
excising and displaying only a short summary of the IMP may be misleading to the reader. The
reader should be referred to the entire IMP, to FLPMA Section 603(c) and to the relevant
sections ofthe Steens Act." Changes to the last paragraph were made to clarifY management
direction of WSAs that Congress either designates as wilderness or releases from WSA status.

SubJect Re. Fw: South Steens AllOtment BounciatyU
I've put the southern boundary of S. Steens Allotment on the fence des<:nbed by Rhonda below. I do want
to ctanfy, however, that this is not restoring the allotment boundary to a former location. That fenceJine
was never the allotment hne, just a pasture splil After the Steens Ad of 2000 exchange, that Whole
southern end of the S. Steens Allotment was "transferred• ID the Roaring Springs FFR. There should have
been a rangellne agreement showtng the change to S Steens Allotment, but apparently th1s wasn't done.
Joe thought that perhaps when the southern pasture became part of Roanng Springs FFR they might have
requested that the hne be put on ownership (to keep thelt !Jiivalt! out of S. Steens Allotment), but again, no
record ot any agreement like that So, there still Is no rang:ellne agreernent showing the change in South
Steens/Roaring Springs FFR. but I'm going to assurno that tho RMP aruj amendment will serve the same
purpose.
l et me know if you have any questions_ The acres that I gave Joe earlier should be fine. but Rhonda, you
can ask Kelly k> continn them for you now.

Subject South Steens Allotment Boundary
Karia,
Tho Steens/AMU RMPs show the South Steens AJiotment boundary as the CMPA boundary in Home
Creek Pasture (no physical bamer). At one time the southern end of South Steens Allotment ended at the
fence line which was also the sou them boundary of Home Creek Pasture. After talking to Rick Hall and
Jim Buchanan and Joe checked with Stacy Davies, no one knows why this boundary was changed. We
would like to return the South Steens Allotment boundary to the southern fence line of Home Creek
Pasture (a physical barrier). This fence runs east from Three Mile Creek and then heads northeast and
ttes Into the Donner und BUtzen River protection fence. A map Is available If needed.
We need you to approve this change, so it can be documented in GIS. If you concur, please notify Pam
Keller. Pam will then need to let us know the new acreage figures for Home Creek Pasture
(BLM-administered and privately owned) and the percentages. This Information will allow us to generate
e Plan Maintenance Sheet for the RMPs. Thanks.

(D~ribe exactly
what is to be deleted. added, rewritten. etc.)
CHANGE: Active AUMs 2,267 and Suspended AUMs 131 need to be changed/corrected
to Active AVMs 2,107 and Suspended AUMs 291 for Happy Vall~:y Allotment Total Permitted
LseAUMs would not be changed and remain 2.398. Therefoethe CMPA RMP/ ROO is being
chnngt.-d to be consistent with the Three Rivers RMP and what is c1urrcntly authorized (see
tJitachcd Letter February 3, 2006).
(Describe exact rationale for above change. lnclude reference material, i.e. EA. ~ MP, IM.)
REASON:
The Three Rivers Resource Management Plan R.OD/RPS September 1992
documented Active AUMs at 2,107 and Suspended AUMs at 291 . There is no Record of
Decision or any other form of offidaJ documentation that would authorize an adjustment in
ActlVe AUMs from 2.107 to 2,267 and Suspended AUMs from 29 1 to 131 pnor to August 2005
CMPA ROD RMP. The 10 year tcnn pcmlit was unofficially char~~ged in 1996 during the
development of the CMPA. This is the reason for the discrepancy between Three Rivers RMP
and CMPA.

CHANGE: Change Total Permitted AUMs fro-m, 151 to 173.
REASON: In 2002 follo'\\>ing land exchanges related to the Stee-ns Act,. it was calculated
that the CM Otley FFR was ablE! to support 152 AUMs. The Frazier Lake #2 Pasture in Ruby
Spring Allotment was exchanged from being mostly public fnnd to mostly private land. Due' to
this, the Frazier Lake Pasture was moved into the CM Otley FFR a!ong with the 21 AUMs which
were associated wit!h it. These AUMs were added to the allotment on the pennittees G:raziag
Permit (dated 2002). but it appears it was not changed in the AMP.
The pennattee file contains a packet of documents from the l!and exchange, There ils a copy of
the AUM calc111ations in the packet. There is also an April24, 2002letter from the Andrews FM
which outlines the changes that are on the pennittees new Grazing Permit, ttnd imdudes a
. discussion on the AUM cale-tdations.

The tota l public land acres for the atlotrnent will be: 675 acres. The total private acres wifuin the allotment will be: 5,499 acres. Total acres for thjs allotment will be: 6,174 acres. There wiU be no change t<.1 Permitted .active use AUMs, a nd it wi ll remain at 173 AUMs per Plan Maintenance Sheet~CMPA- 11, REASON:
The allotment boundary has been adjusted to re:move all pastures that are less
than l% BLM managed land, most of which was located in narrow strips along fenoelines. This
has been done in order to improve management by includjng onJ:y pastures with a ma.nageable
amount of public land. The two pa!ltures were renamed ns Private #99 pastures in order to show
that while they do have some BLM managed land (less than 4%)., they are mostly private and the
BLM has limited management.

limited management.
