FLPMA requires that any special use of land designated before its passage would have to have land-use management plans of its own drawn up indicating the special use of those lands. If and when there are other activities or plans for an area in or near the specially designated area,...the new land use plan would have to make mention of the previously exisitng land use plan of which also CANNOT be changed but must be managed in accordance with the relevant law of the time....in this case the relevant law citing the special designation is the WFHBA of 1971. In other words, managment of our WFHB herds CANNOT be (or are not supposed to be) managed through land use plans! <br /><br />Another provision of FLPMA the BLM is ignoring is the EXCEPTION clause that clearly states any lands specially designated for a certain purpose prior to the enactment of FLPMA shall be exempt from any mandatory "multi-use" or "sustainability of yield" considerations or requirements. In other words, any other use of the land MAY be permitted (discretionary) as long as the new use didnt interfere with the "principality" of the land as wild horse and burro historic range." The law is pretty clear on this so I left wondering why have they been getting away with ignoring (nullifying)these very important federal statutues for so many years? The WFHBA of 1971 and FLMPAs exception for "previously designated" lands were enacted to protect our wild equines, and to keep them forever free and principal users of their historic lands NO MATTER WHAT OTHER USE may be planned for the land at a later time. BLM is ignoring the laws alright, but it is the LAwyers who are letting them get away with it. How long before a wfhb laywer will write out a "statutory nulification" charge against the DOI and/or the BLM? Then you will have your winner. Then all the round-ups will stop.
