Big Snowy Mountains WMA Decision Notice

After considering public comment, FWP approved the proposed action to acquire the 5,677-acre property from Shodair Children’s Hospital to create the Big Snowy Mountains WMA. Following the Environmental Assessment, it was determined the proposed action will not have negative effects on the human and physical environments associated with this project. The EA is the appropriate level of analysis, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is unnecessary. The department will proceed with the Big Snowy Mountains Wildlife Management Area project with anticipation of a late 2022 closing. FWP accepts the draft EA as final. The goals of this project will benefit a diversity of wildlife species and their habitats on behalf of the public and provide compatible public access for fish and wildlife related recreation. By this Decision Notice, the draft EA is hereby made final.
