Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Las Vegas Valley Disposal Area as expanded by the Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002, Public Law 107-282, November 6, 2002

요약

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared a Draft EIS with the specific purpose to authorize transfer of title or uses of public land in the Las Vegas Valley. The project area consists of all remaining lands identified for disposal within the boundary established by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) (Public Law 105- 263), as amended by the Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002 (Clark County Act) (Public Law 107-282). This EIS will ensure the intent of Congress, as portrayed in the SNPLMA and the Clark County Act, is met by providing land for organized local community development. This does not preclude other authorized uses of public lands such as applications for Rights-of-Way, Leases and Recreation and Public Purpose Leases located in Clark County, Nevada, Hydrographic Basin 212. The EIS fulfills the needs and obligations set forth by NEPA, FLPMA, and BLM management policies as defined in the Resource Management Plan (RMP) of 1998.
