The Lincoln County Land Act of 2000The Lincoln County Land Act (LCLA), P.L. 106-298, was passed by Congress and signed into law in October 2000. The LCLA provides for the disposal of public land within Lincoln County into which 85% of the revenue generated by land sales in Lincoln County was deposited into a special account in the United States Treasury. The remaining 15% was paid to the State of Nevada (5%) and to Lincoln County (10%). The LCLA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to expend without further appropriation the revenue deposited in the LCLA Account for: · Inventory, evaluation, protection, and management of unique archeological resources in Lincoln County. · Development of a Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) in Lincoln County. · Reimbursement of costs incurred by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in preparing sales under the LCLA, or other authorized sales within Lincoln County. · Processing public land use authorizations and rights-of-way stemming from development of the conveyed land. · Acquisition of environmentally sensitive land or interest in land in the State of Nevada, with priority given to land outside of Clark County. Lincoln County Archaeological InitiativeThe Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative was developed by BLM, other federal agencies and state and local governments to annually fund research projects for the inventory, evaluation, protection or management of archaeological resources.
