![Page 3: Bighorn Sheep Viability U PDATE TO THE D RAFT S UPPLEMENTAL E NVIRONMENTAL I MPACT S TATEMENT Payette National Forest January - February 2010](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649cae5503460f94971ca6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Background
• March 9, 2005, the Chief of the Forest Service reverses the 2003 FP decision as it pertains to bighorn sheep and its habitat
• Found not compliant with NFMA for bighorn sheep viability issues
• Found not likely compliant with Hells Canyon NRA Act
• Forest Plan direction remanded for bighorn sheep
![Page 4: Bighorn Sheep Viability U PDATE TO THE D RAFT S UPPLEMENTAL E NVIRONMENTAL I MPACT S TATEMENT Payette National Forest January - February 2010](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649cae5503460f94971ca6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Appeal Direction
• Regional Forester conduct bighorn sheep viability analysis in the Payette NF
• Ensure habitat is available for a viable population of bighorn sheep
• Support determination of compliance with Hells Canyon NRA Act, 36 CFR 219.19, 36 CFR 292.48
• Amend Forest Plan to add direction that insures bighorn sheep viability
![Page 5: Bighorn Sheep Viability U PDATE TO THE D RAFT S UPPLEMENTAL E NVIRONMENTAL I MPACT S TATEMENT Payette National Forest January - February 2010](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649cae5503460f94971ca6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Viability - Requirement
• Fish and wildlife habitat shall be managed to maintain viable populations of existing native and desired non-native vertebrate species in the planning area (36CFR 219.19)
• Guidance– Focus on habitats as a requisite for viability– Focus on vertebrate species– Focus on selected species: management
indicator, listed species, sensitive species
![Page 6: Bighorn Sheep Viability U PDATE TO THE D RAFT S UPPLEMENTAL E NVIRONMENTAL I MPACT S TATEMENT Payette National Forest January - February 2010](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649cae5503460f94971ca6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Viability – Defined
• Habitat must be provided to support, at least, a minimum number of reproductive individuals and that habitat must be well distributed so that those individuals can interact with others in the planning area. (36 CFR 219.19)
![Page 7: Bighorn Sheep Viability U PDATE TO THE D RAFT S UPPLEMENTAL E NVIRONMENTAL I MPACT S TATEMENT Payette National Forest January - February 2010](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649cae5503460f94971ca6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Analysis Foundation for Assessing Viability
• Bighorn Sheep Habitat• Do we have it? How much do we have? Is it well
distributed across the landscape? Is it connected?
• Bighorn Sheep Landscape Use• Where are they? How far do they foray? Are herd
inter-connected?
• Domestic Sheep Allotment Use• Where are the allotments? When are they on the
allotments? Where do they trail?

Sensitive Species
• “Those plant and animal species identified by a Regional Forester for which population viability is a concern, as evidenced by significant current or predicted downward trend in population numbers, or habitat capability that reduce a species existing distribution.” (FSM 2670.5).
• Objectives for sensitive species include “special management emphases to ensure viability and to preclude trends toward endangerment that would result in the need for Federal listing” (FSM 2672.1)

Disease Model
• Utilizes the contact rate from the analysis based on foray behavior
• Predicts the probability of disease spread through the rest of the bighorn sheep population
• To determine persistence of the population over time.

Models & Analyses Summary
• Offers multiple quantitative ways to display habitat, population, and potential movement patterns of bighorn sheep relative to landscapes and interactions with domestic sheep
• Compares alternatives relative to risks for bighorn sheep
• Logical and consistent with our understanding of bighorn and domestic sheep interactions

Tribal Rights and Interests
• Directly tied to:1. Viability and persistence of the bighorn sheep
population over time– Provides for a subsistence lifestyle and maintains Tribal
traditions
2. How much area is identified as not suited for domestic sheep grazing
– Allows for hunting in traditional areas and areas that are culturally important
