Published Date: 9/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service is canceling its earlier plan to prepare a big environmental report for the West Fork Battle Creek Watershed in Wyoming. They realized they jumped the gun and need more time to explore options before deciding if the report is really needed. This means local communities and agencies will see no immediate changes or costs, but planning will continue carefully.
