District of the Week, Wall Ranger District, Nebraska National Forest
Wall Ranger District is located in South Dakota, but is part of the Nebraska National Forest.
Here are the two projects I could find on the SOPA.
Southwest Fence Relocation and Waterline Project (EA)
Install 3.6 miles of water pipeline with 5 stock tanks, move one existing fence from Lower Booth Dam north of FSR 227 and convert an electric fence to barbwire in the Camp Flat Allotment all in the southwest corner of the Fort Pierre National Grassland.
Status: Under Analysis
Management Unit: Wall Ranger District
Purpose: Grazing management
and
East 83 Prescribed Burn (CE)
Description: This project proposes burning approximately 25,000 acres of the Fort Pierre National Grassland over the next 10 years with the goal of improving wildlife habitat.

Science Policy Quote of the Month
"In the real world, many risks we face present neither the great certainties we would need to use cost-benefit analysis effectively nor the almost complete uncertainties that would justify radical precautionary approaches. Moreover, neither the precautionary principle nor cost-benefit analysis tell us anything about the role of democracy in making policy decisions.
I am currently working to develop new approaches rooted in deliberative democracy which might move beyond both strict cost-benefit and knee-jerk precaution toward processes that could achieve better public participation and greater political legitimacy on the major environmental threats to our future."

The project page provides this information. Three+ years since the comment period? And it’s still “Under Analysis”?
Last Completed Milestone: Comment Period (03/15/2009)
Next Milestone: NEPA or Forest Plan Amendment Decision Document Available (est. 03/2013)
My comment refers to the Southwest Fence Relocation and Waterline Project (EA).
BTW, I could not find the EA or other documents.
Website: “No documents are available for this project.”
Steve-it’s possible due to other emergent priorities…let me check on it and get back to you.
