This final programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) describes actions available to the USDA-APHIS to suppress grasshopper and Mormon cricket populations that have reached a level of economic infestation on rangeland in the 17 Western States. This EIS examines the environmental effects of two suppression alternatives that use insecticides and a no action alternative. Rangeland is a complex ecosystem, and grasshoppers are a natural part of rangeland ecosystems. (The term “grasshoppers” in this document refers to both grasshoppers and Mormon crickets unless differentiation is needed.) Rangeland is also an important agricultural resource that is used mainly for livestock production. In some years, grasshoppers become serious pests when populations reach high densities. These outbreaks can destroy rangeland forage and devastate rangeland habitats. There are rangeland management actions that are intended to prevent or drastically reduce grasshopper outbreaks.
