The proposed ACEC would be open to
locatable mineral development and
closed to solid leasable mineral
development. Fluid leasable mineral
development would be allowed with
controlled surface use restrictions; the
BLM may require that a proposed
facility or activity be relocated by more
than 200 meters from a proposed
location as necessary to achieve the
desired level of resource protection.
Saleable mineral disposals that provide
resource protection, enhancement of the
R&I values and/or address human health
and safety would be allowed on a caseby-case basis.
The proposed ACEC would be closed
to livestock grazing.
The BLM would limit development of
recreation facilities to those necessary
for resource protection only. Offhighway vehicle (OHV) use would be
limited to designated routes, and
permitted non-speed recreation
activities in the ACEC would require a
desert tortoise spotter during the
tortoise active season. In addition, the
BLM would monitor the activities to
ensure tortoises are not affected.
For sensitive species, the BLM would
allow prescribed fire use to meet
resource objectives and habitat
enhancement purposes in appropriate
areas to support habitat recovery
objectives and allow use of approved
herbicides following ground-disturbing
activities in order to implement invasive
species control methods and support
habitat recovery objectives. Military
maneuvers would not be authorized.
Activities that result in loss or
degradation of tortoise habitat would
require reclamation so that predisturbance conditions may be reached
within a reasonable time frame;
reclamation may include, but is not
limited to, salvaging and transplanting
cactus and yucca, recontouring of the
area, scarifying compacted soil, adding
soil amendments, seeding, and
transplanting of seedling shrubs.
Subsequent seeding or transplanting
efforts may be required if monitoring
indicates that the original effort was not
successful. Alternative B and C would
not designate an ACEC; however, the
BLM would manage the area as part of
an SRMA.
The visual resource class change from
Class III to Class IV would only apply
to the project site and applies to
alternatives B, C and D.
The BLM will use and coordinate the
NEPA comment process to satisfy the
public involvement process for Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470(f)) as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).

have been conducted in accordance
with policy. Tribal concerns have been
given due consideration, including
impacts on Indian trust assets.
The Draft Supplemental EIS analyzes
four alternatives, including the no
action alternative (Alternative A) and
three action alternatives. Alternative B
is Silver State’s original proposal (as
described in its Plan of Development
dated July 2011). This alternative was
introduced in initial scoping meetings
and does not include perimeter roads.
Alternative B would disturb up to 3,855
acres of Federal land. Alternative C
would disturb up to 2,515 acres of
Federal lands, and includes the project
layout for Phases II and III that was
previously evaluated in the 2010 Final
EIS. Alternative D would disturb up to
3,091 acres of Federal land and is a
modified layout of Silver State’s original
proposal (Alternative B above) to allow
access through a historically used
recreation route.
The BLM is required to select a
preferred alternative for the RMP
amendment; this decision is separate
from whether a preferred alternative is
identified for the proposed project. The
BLM preferred alternative for the RMP
amendment identified in the Draft
Supplemental EIS is to (1) Reduce the
acreage of the SRMA by the project
footprint (if approved) and (2) To
change the VRM class from VRM Class
III to IV for the project footprint (if
approved). There is no BLM preferred
project alternative identified in the Draft
Supplemental EIS so that the BLM can
make best use of public input to reach
an informed decision. Formal scoping
for the project occurred from September
1 to October 31, 2011 (74 FR 31306).
The BLM received a total of 55 comment
submissions during the scoping period,
identifying 201 issues. The comments
identified concerns in a broad range of
categories, including OHV access;
recreation; socioeconomic resources;
federally listed species and their habitat,
including desert tortoise habitat and
rare plants; surface water/storm runoff;
alternatives for analysis; and cumulative
impacts.
Maps of the proposed project area and
the alternatives being analyzed in the
Draft Supplemental EIS are available at
the BLM Southern Nevada District
Office and the Southern Nevada BLM
energy Web site cited above. Please note
that public comments and information
submitted including names, street
addresses, and email addresses of
persons who submit comments will be
