DEPARTMENT OF THE INTIIRIOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM BEAR RIVER MIGRATORY BIRD REFUGE Brigham City, Utah ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1990 REVIEW AND APPROVALS REFUGE MANAGER DATE U GE SUPERVISOR REVIEW , ^ DA REGIONAL OFFICE APPROVAL D^TE X INTRODUCTION The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is located in Box Elder County, 15 miles west of Brigham City, in northwestern Utah. It was established by a special act of Congress on April 23, 1928. At the time, many individuals and organizations were concerned about the loss of marsh habitat and waterfowl mortality. In 1843, explorer John C. Fremont described the multitudes of waterfowl at the Bear River delta. As settlement of the Salt Lake valley progressed, market hunting of waterfowl flourished. From 1877 to about the turn of the century, 2 00,000 ducks were harvested each year and sold to eastern hotels and restaurants. During the same period, residents were concerned with the devastating losses to avian botulism. In the 1900's, 50 to 70 percent of the waterfowl stopping to rest and feed died of the disease. Millions of dead birds lied scattered in the marshes - a gruesome spectacle. About the same time, large quantities of river water were diverted for farming, and the delta marshes began to dry. By 1920, about 2 to 3 thousand acres of marsh remained of the original 45,000. The Bear River Refuge comprises 65,000 acres of marsh, open water, and mud flats, which are managed for use by migratory birds.

    A FORAGE CAPACITY AND STOCKING RATE DETERMINATION FOR THE HIGH UINTAS WILDERNESS DOMESTIC SHEEP ANALYSIS Analysis completed by Emanuel Vasquez1, John Carter2, and Allison Jones1 1 Wild Utah Project, 824 S. 400 W., Ste B-117. Salt Lake City, UT 84101 2Keisha’s preserve and Yellowstone to Uintas Connection, P.O. Box 363 Paris, Idaho 83261 Analysis presented to the Ashley and Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forests September, 2018 1 INTRODUCTION In May 2014, the Uinta Wasatch Cache and Ashley NFs initiated scoping for the High Uintas Domestic Sheep Analysis.1 The purpose of this project as described in the scoping notice is to reauthorize grazing of domestic sheep on five allotments in each of the NFs totaling 157,000 acres within the Uinta Wilderness, while continuing to permit up to 40,000 ewes and lambs to graze for two to three months, depending upon the allotment. Prior work in the Uinta Wilderness by Dr. John Carter identified issues of soil and stream bank erosion, severe use in uplands, and trailing damage across the passes leading from the UWCNF into the Ashley NF allotments and on steep slopes. These conditions were documented in a report by Dr. Carter that illustrated that non- capable lands were being severely grazed (Carter 2007).2 In the example of the adjacent West Fork Black’s Fork allotment, which the Forest Service has excluded from this analysis, Carter’s 2007 analysis demonstrated overstocking of the allotment, in which only 854 acres of the 14,786 acres were capable to support grazing. Of those 854 acres, 609 were wet meadows, areas not preferred by sheep.
