Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands Projects

Convert the existing temporary fence, that has been in place for over 25 years, to a permanent fence. This would permanently split the American Creek North Pasture into two pastures, American Creek Northwest and American Creek Northeast.

Installation of a new fence to protect the dam face, part of the waterbody and spring source from livestock affects while providing a source of water for livestock and enhancing recreational opportunities for the public.

Install a reliable water distribution system in the Dry Hole #3 Pasture by extending an existing water line from the adjacent Cut Off Summer Pasture. The water supply would originate from an existing water tank location in the Cut Off Summer Pasture and run east into the Dry Hole #3 Pasture.

Removal of approximately 3,775 feet of fence around the western and southern border of the Engen Northeast Pasture to consolidate the pasture into one with Engen East. The intention is to remove livestock watering pressure from the wetland area in and around Cottonwood Dam. Cottonwood Dam is a popul

Build about 1.3 miles of allotment division fence.

The Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands propose to update the Forests' guidance for plant management strategies through an environmental analysis for the management of invasive, noxious, alien, non-native, and undesirable native plant species.

The proposed action includes the issuance of a special use permit to the SD Department of Transportation for the authorized construction of an access road to the community of Igloo, SD. The road would bisect approximately 630 feet of USFS System Lands.

Installation of an approximately 0.25 mile riparian buffer fence to protect resources along the unnamed tributary to the East Branch War Creek and better manage livestock grazing and distribution.

Conduct prescribed burns on two different units, about 1,100 acres total, to reduce heavy fuel loading.

Permit for the South Dakota Department of Transportation to construct a snow fence on USFS System Lands adjacent to US Highway 83.

Rebuild the existing three phase powerline along the current route.

Authorize the installation of approximately 10 miles of buried waterline as well as 14 water tanks and 6 water lots.
