LOVELOCK - The Bureau of Land Management, Winnemucca District, Humboldt River Field Office will issue the Pershing County Road Department free-use permits for mineral materials for maintenance activities, and is streamlining the process for mineral material sales to members of the public.
The BLM plans to issue 33 free-use permits to the county and designate 33 material sites as new community pits. The decision includes exceptions, which are subject to mitigation for the Big Five and Big Meadows material sites and for the proposed Humboldt River Ranch Community pit.
"This decision provides much needed sand and gravel to the Pershing County Road Department for their maintenance activities, it also streamlines the process for sales to members of the public," said BLM Winnemucca District Manager Gene Seidlitz. "I would also like to thank the Pershing County Commissioners for their support, understanding and patience during the time it has taken BLM to complete this important project."
The documents are available online at the Winnemucca website at www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo/blm_information/nepa0.html. Printed copies of the documents are available at the BLM Office, 5100 East Winnemucca Blvd., Winnemucca, Nevada, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, or will be provided upon request.
