Page Code Superseded New (Number of sheets) 12.21--1, --2 1 1 Digest: Rivises Exhibit 1, 02-2200-45 (7/90), Designation of Base Property for Term Grazing Permit, Carson Natioanl Forest. LEONARD A. LINDQUIST Forest Supervisor GRAZING PERMIT ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK 12.21 - Base Property. On the Carson National Forest, the base property requirement is ownership of logical and operable ranch headquarters, including the land on which it is located. A residence will not be required as part of the headquarters, but improvements necessary for the care and handling of livestock will be required. This will include sufficient stock water and adequate corral or feedlot space to accommodate the number of livestock permitted. The base property need not be within or adjacent to the Forest or grazing allotment, but it must be in a location which is a reasonable base of operations for the National Forest System land grazed. It must be located within Taos, Rio Arriba, Colfax, Mora, San Juan, Los Alamos, Sandoval, Santa Fe, or San Miguel counties, or that part of Guadalupe County north of Interstate Highway 40, New Mexico, or within Costilla, Conejos, Archuleta, or La Pl.aza counties, Colorado. A determination of each individual permittee's base property will be made and approved by the District Ranger who will then give written notification to the permittee concerning the status of the base property. Any subsequent change in base property must be with the approval of the District Ranger after it has been determined the new offering is as acceptable as the previously approved base property. A permittee's base property will be verified: 1.) (See Exhibit 1. When application is made for a new term grazing permit or addition to permit is made through purchase of livestock and/or base property. 2. When a change in ownership or size occurs in his base property. 3. At the beginning of the ten-year term permit period. Permittees whose base property was considered as acceptable with less than the above standard as of January 1, 1966, may continue to be qualified as long as is no change in their permitted livestock operation. If such a change does occur, the permittee must meet the full base property requirement within one year after being given written notice or face total revocation. Successors through inheritance who do not have the required base property will be required to meet the base property standards within one year from the date of permit issuance. Successors through purchase of permitted livestock will be required to own base property prior to issuance of a new permit. In cases of association permits, adequate base property will be required either by the association as a unit with each member owning a share proportionate to their permitted numbers or by each permitted member individually.
