(406)293-3714 #352 MNAXLP (Published Sept. 30, 2015) THE GLASGOW COURIER, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 – 5B REAL ESTATE REAL ESTATE PUBLIC NOTICES Cause No.: DV-2015-43 DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR – BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Notice of Proposed Withdrawal; Sagebrush Focal Areas and Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement; (MTM 108420) Montana SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals Management has approved an application to withdraw approximately 983,156 acres of public and National Forest System lands identified as Sagebrush Focal Areas in Montana from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect and preserve the Greater Sage-Grouse (GSGR) and its habitat. A notice was published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2015, temporarily segregating the lands for up to 2 years while the application is processed. The Federal Register notice also provides the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal application and it initiates the public scoping process for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze and disclose impacts of the proposed withdrawal. DATES: Comments on the proposed withdrawal application or scoping comments on issues to be analyzed in the EIS must be received by December 23, 2015. Please clearly indicate whether comments are in regard to the withdrawal application or scoping comments on the EIS. The date(s) and location(s) of any scoping meetings will be announced at least 15 days in advance through local media, newspapers and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) website at: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/sagegrouse.html. In order to be included in the Draft EIS, all comments must be received prior to the close of the 90-day scoping period or 15 days after the last public meeting, whichever is later. Additional opportunities for public participation will be available upon publication of the Draft EIS. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to the BLM Director, 1849 C Street NW (WO-200), Washington, DC 20240 or electronically to: [email protected]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark A. Mackiewicz, PMP, Senior National Project Manager, BLM, by telephone at 435–636–3616; or by email at [email protected]; or the BLM State Office listed below. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to reach the BLM contact person. The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during normal business hours. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM filed an application requesting the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals Management to withdraw, subject to valid existing rights, approximately 983,156 acres of public and National Forest System lands located in the State of Montana from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral or geothermal leasing, or the mineral material laws. The notice published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2015, temporarily segregated the lands from the filing of new mining claims for up to 2 years to protect the most valuable habitat for GSGR while various studies and analyses, including a public process, are prepared for the final decision on the withdrawal application. Copies of the map entitled “BLM Petition/Application for Sagebrush Focal Areas Withdrawal” depicting the land descriptions are posted on our BLM website at: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/sagegrouse.html. The map is also available from the BLM Montana State Office, 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, Montana 59101-4669. The Sagebrush Focal Areas includes all public and National Forest System lands identified in the townships below: Principal Meridian Tps. 21 to 23 N., R. 20 E., Tps. 20 to 23 N., R. 21 E., Tps. 20 N., R. 22 E., Tps. 19 to 21, 23 and 24 N., R. 23 E., Tps. 18 to 21, 23 and 24 N., Rs. 24 and 25 E., Tps. 18 to 20, 22 to 25, 27 and 28 N., R. 26 E., T. 24 N., R. 26½ E., Tps. 19 to 29 N., R. 27 E., Tps. 20, 22 to 24 and 26 to 29 N., R. 28 E., Tps. 22 to 27 N., R. 29 E., Tps. 22 to 26 N., R. 30 E., Tps. 23 to 26 N., Rs. 31 and 32 E., Tps. 23 to 29 N., Rs. 33, 35 and 36 E., Tps. 24 to 29 N., Rs. 34 and 37 E., Tps. 26 and 27 N., R. 36½ E., Tps. 24 to 28 N., R. 38 E., Tps. 24 to 27 N., R. 39 E., T. 26 N., R. 40 E. The areas described contain approximately 983,156 acres of public and National Forest System lands in Fergus, Garfield, Petroleum, Phillips, and Valley counties. The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals Management approved the BLM’s application. Therefore, the application document constitutes a withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1-3(e)). The purpose of the proposed withdrawal of the Sagebrush Focal Areas in Priority Habitat Management Areas is to protect the GSGR and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining subject to valid existing rights. The use of a right-of-way, interagency or cooperative agreement, or surface management by the BLM under 43 CFR 3715 or 43 CFR 3809 regulations or by the United States Forest Service (USFS) under 36 CFR 228 would not adequately constrain nondiscretionary uses, which could result in loss of critical sage-grouse habitat. There are no suitable alternative sites for the withdrawal. No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of the requested withdrawal. Records relating to the application may be examined by contacting the BLM Montana State Office, 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, Montana 59101-4669. For a period until December 23, 2015, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the BLM Director, 1849 C Street NW (WO-210), Washington, D.C. 20240, or electronically to [email protected]. All comments received will be considered before any final action is taken on the proposed withdrawal. The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including alternatives, and guide the process for developing the EIS. At present, the BLM has identified the following preliminary issues: air quality/climate, American Indian resources, cultural resources, wilderness, mineral resources, public health and safety, recreation, socio-economic conditions, soil resources, soundscapes, special status species, vegetation resources, visual resources, water resources, and fish and wildlife resources. Because of the nature of a withdrawal of public lands from operation of the mining law, mitigation of its effects is not likely to be an issue requiring detailed analysis. However, consistent with Council on Environmental Quality regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR 1502.14), the BLM will consider whether and what kind of mitigation measures may be appropriate to address the reasonably foreseeable impacts to resources from the approval of this proposed withdrawal. The BLM will utilize and coordinate the NEPA scoping process to help fulfill the public involvement process under the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources. The BLM will consult with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed withdrawal that the BLM is evaluating, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the BLM to participate in the development of the environmental analysis as a cooperating agency. Comments including names and street addresses of respondents will be available for public review at the BLM Washington Office or the Montana BLM State Office at the addresses noted above, during regular business hours Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. For a period until September 23, 2017, subject to valid existing rights, the lands described in the Federal Register notice will be segregated from location and entry under the United States mining laws, unless the withdrawal application/proposal is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date. Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or discretionary land use authorizations may be allowed during the temporary segregative period, but only with approval of the authorized officer of the BLM or the USFS. The application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Bruce Auchly, FWP Region 4 Information Officer for the courier Hunting FROM PAGE 2B and numbers remain stable to increasing across most of the region, but mule deer numbers still remain low. FWP has restricted hunting opportunities for antlerless deer to speed population increases in both species. Region 4 — Central Montana Mule deer populations are starting to increase but are still below long-term averages. Region 5 — South Central Montana Mule deer numbers throughout south central Montana are stable or up slightly from last year, though they remain well below the long-term average. Region 6 — Northeastern Montana Mule deer numbers are at or above long-term averages in the eastern half of the region and at or below long-term averages Summer’s fires are over, right? All that smoke-in-the-nose, ashes-in-mouth is past for the year. Or so we hope. Yet even in the worst of it many of us had choices. Some folks left Montana, others sought relief in air conditioning at home or office or both. Animals don’t have those luxuries. Yes, birds can fly and bears can burrow into a den, but fires in July and August happen at the wrong time for migration and hibernation. First, let’s slay a rumor. The rash of bear conflicts, mostly black bears, this summer is not because smoke from forest fires was forcing bears out of their mountain redoubts and into towns. They are just farther afield this year looking for food. Starting in late summer, triggered by decreasing daylight, bears enter a stage known as hyperphagia where they eat for 20 hours a day or more, anticipating winter hibernation. They will eat up to 20,000 calories a day, putting on several pounds each day – don’t try this at home. To bulk up, they will search many miles for their traditional foods, such as chokecherries and other wild berries. However, this year the berry crop has been spotty at best. Some areas are average, but many spots in central Montana have few or no chokecherries, currants or buffalo berries. When traditional foods fail, bears don’t stop eating. They just keep traveling, searching for something else to fill their bellies. Unfortunately that can be pet food or pets, livestock feed or livestock, garbage, grease in barbecues, most anything. That’s why bears are turning up in areas they are not usually found; it just happens to be a year of smoke. Fire does affect animals, including fish, both in ways good and bad. As any wild land fire fighter will tell you, not all fires are the same. Some creep along on the forest floor, others burn extremely hot and race through timber. Animals that can move quickly are temporarily displaced by fires. Animals that cannot outrun flames die. Think of young birds in a nest, or small mammals, or reptiles and amphibians. Though a small mammal with a burrow might survive a fast moving fire. Even large animals, like deer and elk, can become confused, trapped and suffocate. In the longer term, fire can be a good thing, bringing new succulent growth to the forest floor, which benefits many animals and their predators. Dead trees attacked by insects will attract woodpeckers and other birds to the feast. Fish are affected by fire, too. Autumn rains after a hot, devastating fire that burns a forest down to the subsurface can flood a stream with choking ash and mud. Not good. And not only can small stream temperatures rise to uncomfortable levels for aquatic life from the fire’s heat, the loss of canopy cover and riparian vegetation will decrease overhanging habitat and increase solar radiation. That may mean stream temperatures remain seasonally elevated for years or decades after the fire. Still, what fire taketh, fire giveth. Fires free nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen from terrestrial systems, transporting them into streams and rivers. In this sense, wildfires may be an important linking factor between terrestrial and aquatic systems. Forest fires and the accompanying smoke make us cough, choke and curse. Then fall arrives and we move on. To fish and animals fires bring dire short-term and beneficial long-term consequences. in the western half. In general, mule deer hunters can expect to see more mule deer as compared to recent years. Region 7 — Southeastern Montana Spring trend surveys show that mule deer populations are up a healthy 20 percent from last year and are currently 16 percent above the long-term average. ELK These are good times for elk hunters as Montana elk populations continue to be strong across most of the state. Region 1 — Northwestern Montana Several mild winters have helped with elk calf survival and recruitment. Elk populations in many areas in northwestern Montana, where steep terrain and heavy forest cover pose considerable challenges to hunters, are stable to increasing. Region 2 — Western Montana Elk numbers are generally above the long-term average, with notably lower levels on public lands located west of Missoula and south through the Bitterroot Mountains. Region 3 — Southwestern Montana Hunting opportunities are good for those interested in hunting away from open roads with better opportunities in the Gravelly Elk Management Unit (hunting districts 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, and 330) versus the Tobacco Root EMU (hunting districts 320 and 333). Region 4 — Central Montana Elk populations are in fine shape. The challenge for hunters in areas along the Rocky Mountain Front, central Montana’s island mountain ranges, or in the Missouri River Breaks will be obtaining access. Regions 5 — South Central Montana Elk numbers along the Bear- tooth Face and in the Crazy Mountains, Big Snowy Mountains, Bull Mountains and southeastern Belt Mountains remain near all-time highs. Region 6 — Northeastern Montana Elk numbers remain at or above management objectives in most hunting districts. All elk hunting in the Bears Paw Mountains and the Missouri River Breaks is by special permits awarded via the annual drawing. Region 7 — Southeastern Montana When hunters think of classic elk hunting country, the plains of southeastern Montana seldom come to mind. And yet there is the region’s storied Missouri Breaks, where elk numbers continue to increase beyond FWP’s management objectives in all hunting districts.
