The BLM extends the comment period on its plan to manage the 3.1 million acres of public land in southern Nevada.
The following is from the BlueRibbon Coalition:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced that the comment period for the Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been extended an additional 30 days. The extended timeframe means that the comment period on the Draft RMP/EIS — originally set to close January 7, 2015 — will now close February 6, 2015.
Once finalized, the Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices RMP will provide management direction for the 3.1 million acres of public land managed by the Southern Nevada District Office.
Four alternatives were analyzed in the draft RMP/EIS. Alternative 3 is the agency-preferred alternative. OHV recreationists should review the preferred alternative’s travel management proposals with regard to how the route designation process will impact current and future motorized use on said routes and proposed open or special management areas. BRC will be reviewing this document and submitting formal comments.
