Agenda Item Text:
Approve a letter of support of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) decision to continue to allow grazing in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area (SPRNCA).
Background:
A lawsuit has been filed against the BLM, challenging the provision in their recent Management Plan to allow livestock grazing in the SPRNCA. The County's Comprehensive Plan supports this use, and the BLM's Plan takes in the science, the cultural history of the San Pedro River, and the economy of Cochise County in its final decision to continue to allow grazing in the SPRNCA.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Mail letter to the appropriate office.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The County would not be in support of this request.
