The BLM authorizes range improvements by either of two forms: One form is the Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement, Form , Illustration 2 , which authorizes the installation, use, maintenance, modification, or combination of these, of range improvements or rangeland developments to achieve management or resource condition objectives.

The agreements specify how the costs of labor and materials, or both, are divided between the cooperators and the United States. The other form is the Range Improvement Permit, Form , Illustration 3 , which authorizes a permittee or lessee to install, use, maintain, modify, or a combination of these, removable range mprovements that are needed to achieve management objectives for the allotment in which the permit or lease is held.

The permittee or lessee provides full funding for construction, installation, modification, or maintenance. You may be required to remove unauthorized range improvement projects. You also may be required to remove range improvements which you own on the public lands if the improvements are no longer helping to achieve land use plan or allotment goals and objectives. And, you may be required to remove range improvements that do not meet the standards, design, construction and maintenance criteria established in a permit or cooperative agreement.

However, range improvements must not be removed from public land without authorization. The BLM may enter into a cooperative range improvement agreement with any person, organization, or other government entity.
