SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Las 

Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS would replace the 

existing 1998 Las Vegas Field Office 

RMP. The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was 

developed through a collaborative 

planning process. The Las Vegas and 

Pahrump Field Offices Draft RMP/Draft 

EIS decision area encompasses 

approximately 3.1 million acres of 

public land administered by the BLM 

Southern Nevada District in Clark and 

Southern Nye counties, Nevada. It does 

not include private lands, State lands, 

Indian reservations, Federal lands not 

administered by BLM or lands 

addressed in the Red Rock Canyon 

National Conservation Area RMP (2005) 

and Sloan Canyon National 

Conservation Area RMP (2006). The Las 

Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS includes goals, objectives 

and management actions for protecting 

and preserving natural resources which 

includes air quality, soil and water 

resources, vegetation, fish and wildlife, 

special status species, wild horses and 

burros, wildland fire management, 

cultural and paleontological resources, 

visual resource values, and lands with 

wilderness characteristics. Multiple 

resource uses are addressed which 

include management and forage 

allocations for livestock grazing; 

delineation of lands open, closed, or 

subject to special stipulations or 

mitigation measures for minerals 

development; recreation and travel 

management designations; management 

of lands and realty actions, including 

delineation of avoidance and exclusion 

areas applicable to rights-of-ways 

(ROWs), land tenure adjustments, and 

solar and wind energy development. 

The planning effort will consider 

establishment of a national trail 

management corridor for the 

congressionally-designated Old Spanish 

National Historic Trail. Eligible river 

segments will be evaluated for 

suitability as components of the 

National Wild and Scenic River System 

and 23 new Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACECs) are 

proposed. The ACECs are proposed to 

protect natural and cultural resource 

values and traditional Native American 

use areas. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR 

1506.10, 43 CFR 1610.2.
