Notice of Intent To Remove Excess and Stray Wild Horses

SUMMARY: The Wild, Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act (Pub. L. 92-195) 
requires that , among other things, horses that exceed the Appropriate 
Management Levels (AMLs) established for them or stray from designated 
Herd Management Areas (HMAs) be removed. In order to accomplish that, 
the Lander Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management plans to 
remove 350 excess and stray horses from four contiguous herd areas 
within the Lander Field Office known as the Muskrat Basin HMA, Conant 
Creek HMA, Rock Creek Mountain HMA, Dishpan Butte HMA and an area north 
and east of the Muskrat Basin HMA into which horses have strayed 
outside of the HMA. The removal is scheduled for the summer/fall 
seasons of 2001. Specific dates depend on the weather and soil 
conditions, and other factors unforseen at this time. The Appropriate 
Management level for these four contiguous areas is 320 horses. An 
Environmental Analysis (EA), and Gather Plan for this removal will be 
available on June 15, 2001 for a thirty (30) day comment period. from: 
Jack Kelly, Field Manager, P.O. Box 589, Lander, Wyoming 82520; (307)
