Targeted grazing and minimal mechanical treatment will be used to strategically reduce fuel loads on degraded sagebrush steppe now dominated by annual invasive grasses. Treatment areas have been identified within four allotments in the Tuscarora Field Office: the Hadley, Carlin Field, T Lazy S, and Blue Basin Treatment Areas. �Current permittees would be asked to implement fuel treatment actions as part of a strategic, landscape effort to protect and conserve sagebrush-steppe habitats. Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMAs) exist on the leeward side of the grazing treatments, and would be at reduced risk of wildland fire spread when objectives are met in the proposed treatment areas. Free Use Permits would be issued to the current permittees on Hadley, Carlin Field, T Lazy S, and Blue Basin for periodic biologic treatment of annual fine fuels.
