The closure and temporary
restrictions are necessary to provide a
safe environment for the participants of
the Burning Man Festival and to
members of the public visiting the Black
Rock Desert and to protect public land
resources by addressing law
enforcement and public safety concerns
associated with the Burning Man
Festival. The Burning Man Festival is
held on public lands administered by
the Bureau of Land Management. It is
expected to attract approximately
48,000 participants to a remote rural
area, far from urban infrastructure and
support, including law enforcement,
public safety, transportation, and
communication services. During the
festival the associated city becomes the
tenth largest metropolitan area in
Nevada. This event is authorized on
public lands under Special Recreation
Permit #NV–025–06–01.
The vast majority of Burning Man
Festival participants do not cause any
problems for the event organizers or the
BLM. Actions by a few participants at
previous events have resulted in law
enforcement and public safety incidents
similar to those observed in urban areas
of similar size. Incidents that have
required BLM law enforcement action in
prior years include the following:
Aircraft crashes; motor vehicle
accidents with injuries within and
outside the event (a temporary fence is
installed around the event perimeter);
fighting; sexual assaults; assaults on law
enforcement officers; reckless or
threatening behavior; crimes against
property; crowd control issues; issues
associated with possession and use of
alcoholic beverages; persons acting in a
manner where they may pose a danger
to themselves or to others; possession,
use, and distribution of controlled
substances; and increased use of public
lands outside the event perimeter.
The Burning Man Festival takes place
within Pershing County, a rural county
with a small population and a small
Sheriff’s Department. The county has
