The Bureau of Land Management’s Glenwood Springs field office is seeking public comment on 31 grazing permits that are up for renewal in 2009.

The permits cover grazing allotments in Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties. A map of the grazing permits involved is available on-line. Comments
need to be received by Dec. 8.

The Glenwood Springs field office currently administers 147 grazing permits covering 191 grazing allotments. Sixty-two grazing allotments within the 566,000-acre field office are not authorized for grazing.

In addition, the field office will be assessing the health of public lands in the watershed south of I-70 between Rifle and Glenwood Springs in 2009.
