<br /> <br />K~~ c~ c~~ <br />tam fNa,./ Arnie - er~na P1m~ <br />units be placed in the management area for the shortest period of 11me. <br />This approach will encourage utilization of the entire management area, <br />allow available forage to be grazed before k dries out, end limit the <br />management period with respect to access conUol and watering <br />considerations. Based on this recommendation, Kerr plans to graze <br />approximately 86 animal units for a period of one month beginning as <br />soon as the necessary approvals can be obtained and fence constructed. <br />FUTURE MANAGEMENT <br />Given the potential benefits of grazing for reclaimed lands, Kerr plans to <br />continue the proposed grazing program in future years. In order to insure <br />continued effective management, Kerr will, prior to implementation of <br />annual grazing, estimate forage production for management areas and <br />submit this estimate along with proposed stocking rates to the Colorado <br />Mined lend Reclamation Division (Division). Any substantive changes in <br />the grazing plan, including addition or modification of management areas, <br />will be submitted to the Division for approval prior to implementation. <br />Generaly, grazing wilt be scheduled for spring (May/June) to obtain <br />maximum utilization of available forage and encourage natural invasion of <br />woody plants and other indigenous species. <br />4 <br />
