Nevada/Bureau of Land Management, 

Southern Nevada District 

AGENCIES: National Park Service and 

Bureau of Land Management, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) and Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) announce the availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(Final EIS) for the Wilderness 

Management Plan for the Jimbilnan, 

Pinto Valley, Black Canyon, Eldorado, 

Ireteba Peaks, Nellis Wash, Spirit 

Mountain, and Bridge Canyon 

Wilderness Areas at Lake Mead National 

Recreation Area and adjacent public 

lands. The jointly prepared Wilderness 

Management Plan describes three 

alternatives for consideration. 

Alternative A (no-action alternative) 

continues the current management of 

the wilderness areas and serves as a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

11686 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 42 / Wednesday, March 4, 2015 / Notices 

baseline for comparison with the other 

action alternatives. Alternative B 

(preferred alternative) generally focuses 

on protecting the character of the 

wilderness areas while providing a few 

more opportunities for access into 

several areas. Alternative C provides a 

higher level of access and visitor use 

management while still protecting the 

overall character of the wilderness 

areas. The Final EIS also analyzes the 

potential environmental consequences 

of each of the alternatives, including 

potential impacts to soils, vegetation, 

terrestrial wildlife, threatened, 

endangered, and special status species, 

natural soundscape, wilderness 

character, archeological resources, 

ethnographic resources, visitor use and 

experience, and public safety. 

DATES: The National Park Service will 

execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no 

sooner than 30 days following Federal 

Register publication by the 

Environmental Protection Agency of its 

notice of filing and availability of the 

Final EIS. 

ADDRESSES: The Final EIS is available 

for public inspection at http://

parkplanning.nps.gov.lake, and in the 

office of the Superintendent, Lake Mead 

National Recreation Area, 601 Nevada 

Way, Boulder City, NV 89005; telephone 

(702) 293–8920. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jim Holland, Park Planner, Lake Mead 

National Recreation Area, 601 Nevada 

Highway, Boulder City, NV 89005 (702) 

293–8986. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed Wilderness Management Plan 

addresses public issues and concerns, 

identifies goals, objectives, and 

decision-making guidelines for 

administrative actions and visitor use, 

and provides guidelines for managing 

the Jimbilnan, Pinto Valley, Black 

Canyon, Eldorado, Ireteba Peaks, Nellis 

Wash, Spirit Mountain, and Bridge 

Canyon wilderness areas in Nevada. 

These areas were designated as units of 

the National Wilderness Preservation 

System through the Clark County 

Conservation of Public Land and 

Natural Resources Act (Pub. L. 107–282) 

in 2002. The NPS and BLM jointly 

manage the Eldorado, Ireteba Peak, and 

the Spirit Mountain wilderness areas; 

the other five wilderness areas are 

managed by the NPS. 

During April 2010, a draft wilderness 

management plan/environmental 

assessment was distributed for public 

review. However, due to issues 

subsequently raised by rock climbers 

and American Indian tribes, the NPS 

and BLM determined it would be 

appropriate to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement. The 

Notice of Intent was published in the 

Federal Register on February 12, 2012. 

The Draft EIS for the Wilderness 

Management Plan was published in 

January 2014, with a public review and 

comment period extending from January 

17 through March 23, 2014. Public 

meetings were held in Henderson, NV; 

Boulder City, NV; and Bullhead City, 

AZ. Overall approximately 269 written 

comments were received. 

The primary issues addressed in the 

Final EIS for the Wilderness 

Management Plan are as follows: 

• Providing for use of Spirit 

Mountain by the general public while 

meeting tribal needs and concerns. 

• Managing rock climbing in the 

wilderness areas, particularly placement 

or removal of fixed anchors for rockclimbing activities, and managing ‘‘boltintensive face climbs.’’ 

• The use of climbing equipment 

(including climbing chalk) near 

sensitive cultural resources (e.g., 

petroglyphs and pictographs). 

• Access to several of the wilderness 

areas, including losing vehicle access to 

areas listed in the plan, illegal off-road 

access, and motorized or climbing 

ascents of Spirit Mountain. 

Decision Process: The Record of 

Decision will be executed not sooner 

than 30 days after release of the Final 

EIS. As a delegated EIS process, the 

official responsible for final approval of 

the Wilderness Management Plan is the 

Regional Director, Pacific West Region, 

NPS. Subsequently the officials 

responsible for implementing the 

approved Wilderness Management Plan 

are the Superintendent, Lake Mead 

National Recreation Area, and the BLM 

State Director, Nevada.
