The Bureau of Land Management announced this week the opening of an important application period. The BLM Vernal Field Office will accept applications from May 1 through July 31, for 11 grazing allotments in the Book Cliffs area of Uintah County and nearby areas. “The allotments were previously relinquished and are now available to qualified livestock operators. The available allotments include Atchee Ridge AMP, Birchell, Brewer, Green River AMP, Hatchbroome Bartholomew, Lower McCook, Sand Wash, Santio Sibello, Sunday School Canyon, Sweet Water and Thorne-Ute-Broome. A rangeland health evaluation is currently underway to evaluate the achievement of the Utah Rangeland Health Standards.” An open house hosted by the BLM is happening on April 29 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Vernal Field Office. Maps and other information will be available.
