NEPA--Environmental Assessment

New science and management techniques may be incorporated as needed or when they are
developed. Some practices alone may not meet the desired condition, but in combination with other
practices, desired conditions may be met or moved toward. For example, a two-unit deferred
livestock grazing system alone may not provide the anticipated result, but when coupled with low
stocking rates and construction of additional water developments, desired conditions may be met.
Monitoring will occur and results evaluated by the Interdisciplinary Team and the Line Officer to
determine what adjustments are needed to ensure adequate progress toward meeting desired
conditions. Monitoring details are discussed below on p.44 of this section. The effects of all
adaptive management options will be analyzed and described in this document, or a supplemental
NEPA document and decision would be required to be prepared as appropriate.
