Decision Memo Completed

Coal Pit Boundary Fence

Sawtooth National Forest Cassia, Idaho Minidoka Ranger District

Construct approximately 2.5 miles of wire fence to aid in livestock control and distribution. This fence is proposed because the natural boundary burned in the 2012 Cave Canyon Fire and is no longer controlling livestock.

Location

Minidoka Ranger District of the Sawtooth National Forest, west of Oakley Valley, Idaho in Cassia County
