SUMMARY:Oct 22 Jenny Gulch October 22\, 2021 Comments Due – Jenny Gulch Gold Exploration Drilling Project
DESCRIPTION:The Draft EA is now available for the proposed Jenny Gulch Gold Exploration Drilling Project (Project). The Draft EA is currently available for a 30-day agency and public review period\, with all Project materials located on the Black Hills National Forest website at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=57428. During this time\, comments on the Draft EA may be submitted via US Mail to: \nJim Gubbels at 8221 Mount Rushmore Rd\, Rapid City\, SD 57702 \nvia email (Comments-rocky-mountain-black-hills-mystic@usda.gov) with “F3 Jenny Gulch Gold Exploration Project” as the subject; \nor by fax (605-343-7134). \nComments are due by Oct 22. Comments submitted are public information. This project is subject to 36 CFR 218 objection process.\nPlease Act Today to ask for an extension of time\, so that we can do a thorough review of the document\, and so everyone who wants to make comments gets the opportunity to make comments.  Please use your own words about your concerns.  Some possible talking points : \n\n The draft Environmental Assessment is vague and incomplete.  An Environmental Impact Statement should be done.\n Tribal consultation and protection of cultural resources are incomplete.\nRaptor nests and a bighorn sheep birthing area and migration route would be negatively impacted.\nThe Forest Service must analyze all potential impacts of the project.  This has not been done.

Late comments go to the next month public record\,  but folks can give oral testimony in person or virtually at the hearing on 9/1/21. Written comments can be submitted at https://gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/ or at https://rules.sd.gov/Comments.aspx?Id=669\nThe only necessary written action on cougars that we suggest (besides filling in your contact info.)  is to check that you oppose the two proposed rules on Mountain Lion hunting in SD…But scroll down for more explanation of issues and to have some text to add if you wish.\n\nRule change proposals up for a vote\nTerrestrial: \n\nSpring Turkey- reducing area available for hunting\,\nSetting Mountain Lion Hunting Season in the state for another two years\,\nCougar hunting restrictions eroded to allow hound hunting in the prairie unit onto more public lands \,\n\nAquatic: \n\nChanging fish limits in Iowa/SD Boundary waters\,\nAllowing blow guns for fishing & setting limits on it\,\nHoop Nets and Setlines: adding floatlines to rule and setting fees and various limits on floatlines\,nets & traps\,\nReducing various regulations on bait\,\nReducing regulations on fish hatcheries.\nExpanding ages within youth class at fish tournaments\,\nAquatic invasive species: increasing exemptions to rules about.\n\nTo see exact text of the  proposed rule changes go to the  LRC site –  visit: https://rules.sd.gov/agency.aspx?agency=GFP%20%20Game\,%20Fish%20And%20Parks \nAlert On Mountain Lion Seasons Rule Changes \nPrairie Hills Audubon Society will be creating a more in depth alert about the Mountain Lion Season\, but it will be available on  8/28. \nIn the mean time\, we suggest folks oppose both proposed rules for mountain lion hunting. SD Mt. lion hunting is divided into the Black Hills Fire Protection District and every where else (Prairie unit). In the Prairie Unit there is 365 day hunting with no  harvest limit and hound hunting is allowed on private land (with land owner/lessor permission) and moving from private land to BLM and State School Lands. Hound hunting is allowed in Custer State Park in two week time segments alternating with two weeks of “boot hunting” (boot = no hounds used). The first two week session is given to hound hunting and thus for many years the boot hunters are out-competed and  have not gotten any lions. \nThe hunting season on the Black Hills Unit is too aggressive and will result in decreasing populations\, perhaps dropping below the population below the population goals that SDGFP wants. We suggest  at least lowering the female lion harvest limit in the Black Hills unit. \nWe suggest people object to hound hunting of lions\, which occurs on Custer State Park (a sub-set of Black Hills unit) and in the Prairie unit. You can object due to 1. animal cruelty to both  dogs and lions\, 2. not fair chase\, 3. provides huge advantage of success for hound hunters vs boot hunters  4. creates trespass risk\, 5. disturbs non-target wildlife\, livestock and other human users.  However they are making a specific change to increase hound hunting..by increasing the area of public land in the Prairie Unit where hound hunters can travel from private land to hunt on public land\, to  include all of public lands unless public land manager specifically objects. Previously public land hound hunting in the Prairie unit was limited to expanding onto BLM and State School lands. . You can object specifically to that proposed increase in hound hunting area on the Prairie Unit. \nWe suggest allowing the boot hunters the first two week session in Custer State Park\, for sake of boot hunters\, lions & dogs. \nWritten comments can be submitted at https://gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/ or at https://rules.sd.gov/Comments.aspx?Id=669 \n============= \n\nSD has some Native American reservations with mountain lions with proof of breeding that are not covered by SDGFP regulations as their tribal lands are in alternate jurisdictions. \nPrairie Hills Audubon Society had a Zoom meeting on Regional Mountain Lions on August 16th.  This has much info. on SD cougars.                                                                                                 The meeting is recorded to the on Zoom cloud (The cloud location is only temporary) \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/-YO-I-X4aOvglkZW7MZb3vmnrlIyj-HQv9Q2-srPUlRrguUYC4VSNt8t2uh1B6M.TvIpASLembReeBp5          Passcode: 7Nar+g9n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Recording also is on Vimeo for the long term .

SUMMARY:Meade County Commission Proposed Shooting Range Elk Vale Road
DESCRIPTION:John Kanta at SDGFP knows about the shooting range.  Engineering plans have been drawn up.\n\nAs federal funds are sought\, a NEPA analysis may be done. Nancy Hilding can e-mail you a PDF of thedrawings of Rapid City Firearms Range Complex\nSDGFP Commission’s Resolution about land purchase can be found at link (The range will be in Meade not Pennington County): https://gfp.sd.gov/UserDocs/meetings/21-03_Resolution_-_Authorizing_purchase_of_Rapid_City_Shooting_Range_(3).pdf\n \n Some environmental issues associated with shooting ranges can be – noise from gun fire with hundreds of shooting positions\, traffic increases on dirt roads\, fire risk\, lead contamination from bullets and impacts to ponds/creeks/ground water in nearby area.  There are several ponds or impoundments on or near edges of the property.  The range’s south boundary bisects a pond on an unnamed tributary of Elk Creek.The range is divided between Elk and Antelope Creek drainage basins\, likely with at least some of the northeast-end of range would be draining to Antelope Creek and the south-end will be draining to Elk Creek.   \n \n In the pink map below\, the range’s south boundary crosses the heart shaped pond just east of Elk Vale Rd\, that sits on a tributary that flows southeast to Elk Creek – merging with the Creek in several miles. It’s north boundary is near the slight bend in Elk Vale Rd at a mile and a quarter above that pond.  It is a half mile wide and a mile and a quarter tall.\n \nMap – as JPG file below\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \nEach of the smaller shooting bays may have 5 -10 shooting lanes/each. There are 29  such bays. The 200-400 ft bays may have 20 shooting position/each. The extra long bays may have 40 positions.\, The shooting clays have 12 positions/each.  Decibels from each gun fire are significant 150dB-163.2 dB and this  range could have more than 300 shooting positions; https://earinc.com/gunfire-noise-level-reference-chart/.\n \nConcerns about lead pollution:\n\nFact sheet on Lead Pollution at Outdoor Firing Ranges:\nhttps://static.ewg.org/reports/2001/LeadPollutionAtOutdoorFiringRanges.pdf\n \n\nEPA on BMP on managing lead at shooting ranges\nhttps://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/documents/epa_bmp.pdf\n \nDrawing of the master plan for the site – as JPG file below\n\n\n

SUMMARY:BHNF Moonwalk on Beavers at Jenny Gulch
DESCRIPTION:The Black Hills National Forest will hold its second Moon Walk program of the year on Saturday\, July 24 at 7:00 p.m. This will be a ½ mile educational round-trip hike. Because of limited parking\, visitors are encouraged to carpool. \nFeatured speakers Corissa Busse and Lori Brown\, of The Nature Conservancy\, will discuss the role beavers play in our ecosystem. “Beavers are nature’s ecosystem engineers!” said Busse. “They help restore and protect our landscape from drought\, wildfire\, and more – and create some of the most lush\, diverse\, culturally significant and wildlife friendly areas of the forest and prairies. But in many areas\, beavers have been removed from our streams for centuries and need our help to recover.” Participants will learn about the power and future potential of stream restoration in the Black Hills area\, the effects of this work across western South Dakota\, and the role of beavers in this effort. \nTo reach the Moon Walk from Rapid City\, drive west on SD-Hwy 44 for 14 miles to US-Hwy 385. Turn right (north)\, toward Deadwood. Continue north for 1.4 miles\, then turn left onto Silver City Road. Travel 2.1 miles to Jenney Gulch Road and turn right onto FSR 261. Travel approximately 1.4 miles to the Moon Walk site. Signs will be posted at major intersections to help locate the parking area. Wildlife and raptors are commonly seen along this route so give yourself enough time to enjoy the forest. \nVisitors are encouraged to bring flashlights\, water\, and bug repellant\, and dress for cooler evening temperatures. Long pants and sturdy footwear (hiking boots or athletic shoes) are recommended for comfort and safety while hiking on uneven terrain. \nMeetings may be cancelled due to weather or other adverse situations such as high fire danger.
