Description
Tucson Field Office Fencing
Specifications
Introduction
This Statement of Work allocates funds for barbed wire fencing materials for the San Pedro Riparian
National Conservation Area (SPRNCA), Las Cienegas National Conservation Area (LCNCA), Ironwood
Forest National Monument (IFNM), and other areas managed by the Tucson Field Office (TFO). TFO has
significant fencing needs related to both authorized and unauthorized grazing throughout the field office.
These materials will help achieve Public Law 100-696, which mandates the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) to protect and enhance resources in riparian areas like the San Pedro River, Gila River, and
Cienegas Creek.
Many fences in TFO have exceeded their lifespan. The many water gap crossings are at risk during high
flow rain events and need constant repair. Additionally, recreational users often cut fences, leading to
unauthorized cattle access, especially in riparian zones. The BLM is developing cooperative agreements
with adjacent landowners and lessees to assist in fence maintenance and coordinate responsibilities.
