SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The 15-member BLM Sierra Front-Northern Great Basin RAC serves in an advisory capacity concerning issues relating to land use planning and the management of the public land resources located within the BLM's Elko, Winnemucca, and Carson City Districts. Meetings are open to the public in their entirety and a public comment period will be held near the end of the meeting.

Agenda topics for the October 3, 2024, meeting include reports from the Carson City, Winnemucca, and Elko District Managers; an update on wild horse and burro activities; an update on fire restoration and rehabilitation efforts; and presentations on the Draft Solar Programmatic EIS, Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, and sage grouse management.

On October 4, 2024, the RAC will tour the Maggie Creek Ranch, a key BLM partner working in a collaborative effort to restore the Susie Creek watershed on both public and private lands with the goal of re-establishing Lahontan cutthroat trout. The RAC will view watershed improvements made through a combination of fencing and application of prescriptive grazing practices. Members of the public are welcome to participate in the field tour but must provide their own transportation and meals.

A public comment period will be held on October 3, 2024, at 4 p.m. PT. Depending on the number of persons wishing to speak and the time available, the amount of time for oral comments may be limited.
