Summary
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to fund aerial application of herbicide and soil inoculant to control cheatgrass on a 139-acre hillside in north-eastern Nevada. The cheatgrass is hindering this area’s post-fire recovery to its native sagebrush-steppe plant community. To understand the potential environmental impacts of this proposal, BPA prepared an environmental assessment (EA).
