#WINNEMUCCA — An Environmental Assessment was prepared to analyze a Desert-Land Entry application.
#The Desert Land Act allows individuals to apply for a desert-land entry to reclaim, irrigate, and cultivate arid and semiarid public lands.
#“Applicants will have up to four years from the date of entry to comply with the requirements of the law as to reclamation and cultivation of the land to submit a final proof,” said Humboldt River Field Office Manager, Kathleen Rehberg.
#The application was submitted for entry onto public lands adjacent to existing private property in the vicinity of Granite Creek and Deep Creek, Humboldt County, Nevada, for agricultural development.
#The Applicant has requested entry on four parcels totaling 1,111.64 acres. Approximately 875 acres of the parcels would be converted to agricultural use over a four-year period with the eventual goal of patenting the land to the Applicant for agricultural use.
#The subject parcels are located in Humboldt County, off of Hwy 140 near Big Creek Road.
#The project documents can be viewed through the project ePlanning site at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2019436/510. For more information, please call Julie McKinnon at 775-623-1500.
