"Bypassing NEPA: How BLM’s Grazing Permit Loophole Sidelines Public Input and Threatens Western Rangelands
Public Participation in Decision-Making: NEPA mandates that federal agencies, like the BLM, engage the public during environmental reviews of proposed actions, such as grazing permit renewals. This is often the only opportunity for the public—technically the owners of federal lands—to provide input on site-specific grazing practices. Through NEPA’s scoping, comment periods, and public meetings, stakeholders (e.g., environmental groups, local communities, and tribes) can influence allotment management plans, advocate for protections for sensitive habitats, or challenge practices that degrade rangelands. Without NEPA, decisions are made internally, sidelining public voices.

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) policy regarding the management of wild horses and burros, including the potential destruction of unadoptable animals
The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, as amended, explicitly authorizes the BLM to destroy unadoptable wild horses in the most humane and cost-efficient manner possible

A 26.5–27% annual growth rate would require a birth rate of at least 30–32% (accounting for mortality).
The EA claims an annual growth rate of approximately 10%. For a population starting at 78 in 2016, with a 10% annual growth rate (compounded), the population after 8 years would be: P=78×(1+0.1)8≈78×2.1436≈167P = 78 \times (1 + 0.1)^8 \approx 78 \times 2.1436 \approx 167P=78×(1+0.1)8≈78×2.1436≈167 This confirms the population would be around 167, far less than the claimed 510.
