RE: Proposed Grazing Plan for P & M's Edna Mine, (C-001-81)
I have reviewed the information regarding the Edna Mine grazing plan as you
requested. The plan is not acceptable as it does not fully address the
requirements of Rules 4.15.5 and 2.05.5(1). The permittee has not submitted a
specific plan for grazing, only the assumptions upon which a plan will be
based.
The permittee must submit a plan which addresses at a minimum:
1. Grazing plans for similar areas properly managed.
2. The seasons (specific dates) during which all varieties of livestock
will be grazed.
3. The numbers of livestock to be grazed during each season.
4. The measures to be used to ensure overgrazing does not occur.
5. The measures to preclude interference with vegetation monitoring and
sampling.
6. Measures to prevent grazing from occurring on immature stands.
7. Methods by which the permittee will demonstrate to the Division, prior
to initiation of grazing, that the area to be grazed is adequately
established.
The permittee's detailed grazing plan must be approved prior to initiation,
and ideally prior to permit issuance. If grazing should occur without an
approved plan, it is my opinion that enforcement actions are warranted.
