The Record of Decision (BLM, 1991b) for Vegetation Treatment on BLM Lands in Thirteen Western States requires that site-specific documentation be prepared at the Field Office level for each proposed vegetation control plan. this would be accomplished by using a site-specific environmental analysis. This EA is a programmatic analysis of vegetation management on BLM administered lands in northern Nevada and is tiered to the Final EIS Vegetation Treatment on BLM lands in Thirteen Western States . . . These weeds infest disturbed areas, roadsides, rangelands, pasturelands, woodlands, forests, chaparral, desert shrub, wetlands and freshwater marshes, and cultivated fields in Churchill, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Nye, Persing and Washoe counties"--Page 1-1.
