The Bureau of Land Management Ely District, Caliente Field Office has extended until Monday, March 21, 2016, the public input period for the development of a management plan for the Ash Springs Recreation Site, located alongside U.S. Highway 93 about 100 miles north of Las Vegas. The BLM extended the 30-day public input period an additional 21 days to provide the public the opportunity to attend a public meeting in Las Vegas and provide input.
The BLM is scheduled to meet with the public from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, March 10, at Shadow Ridge High School, 5050 Brent Lane, in Las Vegas.
The plan would provide the Ely District management direction for the BLM-administered portion of Ash Springs and address visitor usage and public safety, endangered and sensitive species habitat, water quality, and compliance with existing local, state and federal laws.
