Programmatic environmental impact statement vegetation treatments using herbicides on Bureau of Land Management lands in 17 western states

the long version

This document analyzes the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts associated with the Bureau of Land Management's use of herbicides on the human and natural environment. An accompanying Final Programmatic Environmental Report (PER) discloses the potential impacts to vegetation and the environment from utilization of non-herbicide treatment techniques, including, but not limited to, fire, mechanical, manual, and biological control methods. Together, herbicide and non-herbicide treatments make up the integrated pest management program that the BLM would apply to approximately 6 million acres annually of public lands in 17 western states, including Alaska.
