SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was developed 

through a collaborative planning 

process. The Carson City District Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS decision area 

encompasses approximately 4.8 million 

acres of public land administered by the 

BLM Carson City District in portions of 

11 counties within 2 States (Washoe, 

Storey, Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, 

Churchill, Mineral, and Nye counties 

within Nevada; and Alpine, Plumas, 

and Lassen counties within California). 

It does not include private lands, State 

lands, Indian reservations, Federal lands 

not administered by BLM. The Carson 

City District 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 California 

and Pony Express National Historic 

Trails. 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.
