Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Since the onset of airborne naval military training in Nevada as early as 1944, residents of the Silver State have coped with the direct and indirect effects of training overflights and bombing ranges. (2) Such effects are heard, seen, and felt most acutely near the military installations and bombing ranges dedicated to furthering the mission interests of the United States Armed Forces, but such effects can extend more than 100 miles beyond the boundaries of the installation or range, as exemplified by Naval Air Station Fallon. (3) Additionally, Nevadans who live, work, and engage in recreational activities beneath dedicated air training routes throughout central, north-central, and northwestern Nevada must deal with persistent noise and periodic disruptions related to training activities day and night. (4) The economic, environmental, and community impacts of the Fallon Range Training Complex and Naval Air Station Fallon are seen throughout all of northern Nevada and are not limited to just the geographic footprint of the Fallon Range Training Complex. (5) Although direct impacts of military training are centered in Churchill County to the north, east, and south of Naval Air Station Fallon, adjoining counties of Elko, Eureka, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, and Washoe also commonly endure both high- and low-level overflights. (6) Providing for the common sense rationalization of the 19th century checkerboard land-ownership and public interest conveyances of land, for example, for fire stations, airports, and municipal parks, represents reasonable mitigation for ongoing impacts to Nevada’s communities. (7) On April 15, 2020, and again on October 1, 2020, the Churchill County Board of Commissioners passed resolutions supporting legislation to address and mitigate the Fallon Range Training Complex Record of Decision dated March 12, 2020, as well as allow for conveyances for economic development and public purposes in Churchill County, as depicted on the County’s updated map entitled Churchill County Proposed Fallon Range Training Complex Modernization and Lands Bill (8) On April 5, 2018, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners requested that the Nevada congressional delegation reintroduce the Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act, included as title I of division B of this Act. (9) On October 10, 2019, the Lander County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution expressing support for the introduction of legislation promoting certain public safety, public welfare, public parks, and tourism opportunities, included as title IV of division B of this Act. (10) On November 15, 2018, the Carson City Board of Supervisors passed a resolution expressing support for the introduction of legislation containing certain conveyances and technical corrections, included as title VI of division B of this Act. (11) On December 9, 2019, the Pershing County Board of Commissioners requested that the Nevada congressional delegation support the Pershing County Economic Development and Conservation Act, included as title VII of division B of this Act. (12) On November 13, 2019, the White Pine County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution requesting reintroduction of the technical corrections provided for in the White Pine County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act, included as title IX of division B of this Act.
