Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: no; New Funding: yes

Comment:

Last year's purchase permanently retired 48,000 acres of USFS land from grazing allotment for $145,000. This property contains a section of a major headwater-spawning stream. This proposal is for an adjacent grazing allotment purchase of 78,000 acres. The scope is similar and the budget is the same as approved for FY 2000. This activity may provide the greatest benefit/cost ratio of any other activity within the basin. It is important to maintain this placeholder for urgent actions for habitat protection.
