The public comment period for the Carson City District Draft RMP/EIS has been extended to an unprecedented 180 days. Act now to make your voice heard.
According to the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Acting State Director John Ruhs has extended the public comment period for the Carson City District Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) an additional 30 days.
The extended timeframe means that the comment period on the Draft RMP/EIS, which was previously set to close April 27, 2015, will now close on May 27, 2015. This is the second 30-day extension that has been granted making the full comment period an unprecedented 180 days.
Once finalized, the Carson City District RMP will provide management direction for the 4.8 million acres of public land in western Nevada and eastern California. The five alternatives in the Draft RMP/EIS offer a range of approaches to manage the resource conditions in the area over the next 15 to 20 years. The Draft RMP/EIS addresses some of the following issues: Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), lands and realty, utility corridors, wind energy, travel management, recreation, lands with wilderness characteristics, minerals, wild and scenic rivers, and visual resource management.
BRC continues to urge the OHV community and other access interests to use its letter generator to send in comments by May 27, 2015. Written comments may also be sent via any of the following methods:
