Agricultural Leasing and Grazing PEAs

Lark personnel, in coordination with a partnering Native American-owned business, completed 23 Programmatic Environmental Assessments (PEAs) across the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains to facilitate ongoing and future agricultural leasing and permitting activities on American Indian reservations in Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska.

This work required close coordination with the U.S. United States Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) on the associated Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 Consultation documents required for the successful completion of those PEAs, or the completion of a Biological Assessment (BA). Lark also worked with the Tribal Historic Preservation Offices across Montana, Wyoming, and North and South Dakota to ensure the PEAs were in compliance with tribal rules and regulations and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
