baseline for comparison with the other
action alternatives. Alternative B
(preferred alternative) generally focuses
on protecting the character of the
wilderness areas while providing a few
more opportunities for access into
several areas. Alternative C provides a
higher level of access and visitor use
management while still protecting the
overall character of the wilderness
areas. The Final EIS also analyzes the
potential environmental consequences
of each of the alternatives, including
potential impacts to soils, vegetation,
terrestrial wildlife, threatened,
endangered, and special status species,
natural soundscape, wilderness
character, archeological resources,
ethnographic resources, visitor use and
experience, and public safety.
DATES: The National Park Service will
execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no
sooner than 30 days following Federal
Register publication by the
Environmental Protection Agency of its
notice of filing and availability of the
Final EIS.
ADDRESSES: The Final EIS is available
for public inspection at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov.lake, and in the
office of the Superintendent, Lake Mead
National Recreation Area, 601 Nevada
Way, Boulder City, NV 89005; telephone
(702) 293–8920.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Jim Holland, Park Planner, Lake Mead
National Recreation Area, 601 Nevada
Highway, Boulder City, NV 89005 (702)
293–8986.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed Wilderness Management Plan
addresses public issues and concerns,
identifies goals, objectives, and
decision-making guidelines for
administrative actions and visitor use,
and provides guidelines for managing
the Jimbilnan, Pinto Valley, Black
Canyon, Eldorado, Ireteba Peaks, Nellis
Wash, Spirit Mountain, and Bridge
Canyon wilderness areas in Nevada.
These areas were designated as units of
the National Wilderness Preservation
System through the Clark County
Conservation of Public Land and
Natural Resources Act (Pub. L. 107–282)
in 2002. The NPS and BLM jointly
manage the Eldorado, Ireteba Peak, and
the Spirit Mountain wilderness areas;
the other five wilderness areas are
managed by the NPS.
During April 2010, a draft wilderness
management plan/environmental
assessment was distributed for public
review. However, due to issues
subsequently raised by rock climbers
and American Indian tribes, the NPS
and BLM determined it would be
appropriate to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement. The
Notice of Intent was published in the
Federal Register on February 12, 2012.
The Draft EIS for the Wilderness
Management Plan was published in
January 2014, with a public review and
comment period extending from January
17 through March 23, 2014. Public
meetings were held in Henderson, NV;
Boulder City, NV; and Bullhead City,
AZ. Overall approximately 269 written
comments were received.
The primary issues addressed in the
Final EIS for the Wilderness
Management Plan are as follows:
• Providing for use of Spirit
Mountain by the general public while
meeting tribal needs and concerns.
• Managing rock climbing in the
wilderness areas, particularly placement
or removal of fixed anchors for rockclimbing activities, and managing ‘‘boltintensive face climbs.’’
• The use of climbing equipment
(including climbing chalk) near
sensitive cultural resources (e.g.,
petroglyphs and pictographs).
• Access to several of the wilderness
areas, including losing vehicle access to
areas listed in the plan, illegal off-road
access, and motorized or climbing
ascents of Spirit Mountain.
Decision Process: The Record of
Decision will be executed not sooner
than 30 days after release of the Final
EIS. As a delegated EIS process, the
official responsible for final approval of
the Wilderness Management Plan is the
Regional Director, Pacific West Region,
NPS. Subsequently the officials
responsible for implementing the
approved Wilderness Management Plan
are the Superintendent, Lake Mead
National Recreation Area, and the BLM
State Director, Nevada.
