AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Wilderness Management Plan for the 

Jimbilnan, Pinto Valley, Black Canyon, 

Eldorado, Ireteba Peaks, Nellis Wash, 

Spirit Mountain, and Bridge Canyon 

Wilderness Areas, Lake Mead National 

Recreation Area, Nevada. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park 

Service (NPS) is the lead agency for the 

preparation of an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) for a wilderness 

management plan for eight wilderness 

areas in Lake Mead National Recreation 

Area, three of which are partially 

located on adjacent Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) lands. The BLM 

will serve as a cooperating agency in the 

preparation of the EIS. The wilderness 

management plan (plan) will establish 

management goals for these wilderness 

areas, develop long term direction for 

monitoring and preserving wilderness 

character (i.e., natural, untrammeled, 

undeveloped, and outstanding 

opportunities for solitude or primitive 

and unconfined recreation) in the 

wilderness areas, while also providing 

for the use and enjoyment of the areas 

by current and future generations. 

Additionally, this plan will provide for 

accountability, interagency consistency, 

and continuity in the stewardship of 

these NPS and BLM wilderness areas. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A range of 

alternatives for stewardship of these 

eight wilderness areas, consistent with 

the requirements of the Wilderness Act 

of 1964, will be developed through this 

planning process and will include at 

least no-action and preferred 

alternatives. Issues the EIS/plan is 

expected to address will include 

identifying appropriate uses for these 

areas; providing for access within, and 

information about, the wilderness areas 

while protecting wilderness character; 

providing for reasonable use of Spirit 

Mountain and adjacent areas in a 

manner meeting tribal needs and 

concerns; restoring disturbed areas 

within the wilderness areas; and 

coordinating agency management 

efforts. The EIS will evaluate and 

compare the potential environmental 

consequences of all the alternatives, and 

appropriate mitigation strategies will be 

included. The ‘‘environmentally 

preferred’’ alternative will also be 

identified. 

In April, 2010 the NPS and BLM 

released an Environmental Assessment 

for the proposed plan. Issues and 

concerns emerged in regards to 

appropriateness of use of fixed anchors 

(e.g., bolting) in wilderness, and 

conflicts between recreational use and 

cultural resource protection and Tribal 

interests could not be resolved. As a
