Install a reliable water distribution system in the Sletto North Winter Pasture of the Fort Pierre National Grassland by extending a previously approved water line from the adjacent Sheriff East Pasture.

Conduct prescribed burns on two different units, about 1,100 acres total, to reduce heavy fuel loading.

Install a reliable water distribution system in the Dry Hole #3 Pasture by extending an existing water line from the adjacent Cut Off Summer Pasture. The water supply would originate from an existing water tank location in the Cut Off Summer Pasture and run east into the Dry Hole #3 Pasture.

Install a reliable livestock watering distribution system in the Circle C and Cole Draw Allotments of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland.
