Management Plan
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a plan amendment and invitation for
public participation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The following described public land in Washoe County, Nevada
will be examined for possible transfer to Washoe County under the
authority of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended
(43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) for uses related to bomb disposal and training
facilities:
Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 23 N., R. 21 E.,
Sec. 8, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\,
Sec. 17, W\1/2\NW\1/4\
This public land is within an area currently identified in the
Lahontan Resource Management Plan (RMP) for retention in federal
ownership for multiple uses. The Bureau of Land Management will
consider amending the RMP to change the land designation of up to 120
acres, from retention status to transfer status.
DATES AND ADDRESSES: By no later than August 21, 1995, interested
persons may submit comments regarding the proposed plan amendment to
the District Manager, Carson City District Office, 1535 Hot Springs
Road, Suite 300, Carson City, Nevada 89706.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public land is located approximately 20
miles north of the Reno/Sparks, Nevada area, just west of State Highway
445 (Pyramid Highway). The following resources would be considered in
preparation of the amendment: lands, recreation, wildlife, range,
minerals, cultural resources, watershed, soils, threatened and
endangered species, and hazardous materials. Staff members representing
each resource will be consulted during preparation of the environmental
document. The public is invited to participate in the identification of
issues related to the proposed transfer of the subject land to Washoe
County for development and operation of a bomb disposal and training
facility. Anticipated issues include:
(1) Transfer of public land out of Federal ownership
(2) Change in character and use of land from undeveloped open space
utilized mainly for dispersed recreation activities and livestock
grazing to a restricted-access county facility
(3) Potential impacts to recreationist and livestock grazing
(4) Potential impacts to adjacent landowners
(5) Proximity to Incandescent Rocks Area of Critical Environmental

examined at the Carson City District Office between 7:30 a.m. and 5
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Dated this 7th day of July, 1995.
