Bridger-Teton National Forest; Wyoming; Long Term Special Use Authorization for Wyoming Game and Fish Commission To Use National Forest System Land for Their Winter Elk Management Programs

The Bridger-Teton National Forest received a request from the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission (WGFC) to continue to use facilities at Alkali Creek Feedground to conduct their winter elk feeding and related management programs. An environmental impact statement (EIS) studying this request was prepared in 2008; however a decision was not made on this feedground. The agency intends to supplement the EIS with information concerning changed circumstances. The proposed action is to issue the WGFC a Special Use Authorization (SUA) for the requested uses of Alkali Creek Feedground for up to twenty years.
