The Lookout Mountain Ranger District on the Ochoco National Forest proposes to reauthorize grazing and issue term grazing permits for the Crystal Springs and Burn cattle allotments. The Proposed Action includes an early on/early off, deferred rotation grazing system and active management of livestock to facilitate desired distribution. The project area is located Lookout Mountain Ranger District on the west side of the Ochoco National Forest. It is within the Upper Ochoco Creek and Bridge Creek watersheds. The proposed action is needed because there continues to be a demand for livestock forage in the Crystal Springs and Burn allotments, while at the same time concerns associated with increased water temperature, decreased bank stability and
modifications to riparian vegetation need to be addressed in order to meet the Ochoco Forest Plan, as amended.
