In 2002, Congress passed P.L. 107-350, requiring Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to convey to Clark County, Nevada, a specified and approximate 2,880 acres of public land for use as a centralized shooting facility. The BLM conveyed the land on November 26, 2003.

The shooting park facility has been funded with county, Federal and private money. Since 2003, Federal funding for this project has totaled $64 million. The Federal funding was provided under the Southern Nevada Public Land Act of 1998 (SNPLMA), Parks Trails and Natural Area program. This money was used for site planning, development and construction.

The BLM released EA # DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2009-0293-EA on August 3, 2009. During the comment period, 1,046 comment letters were received on the EA. Most of these expressed opinions in favor of the shooting park conveyance. These comments do not require a response from the BLM. A total of 56 comment letters provided new information or raised questions or concerns regarding the EA which went beyond simple expressions of opinion.

Based on an analysis of the public comments and internal BLM review, it was determined that a new EA was needed in order to consider a wider range of alternatives. The BLM prepared the new EA and provided the public with 45 days to review the analysis and a draft finding of no significant impact (FONSI). The public comment period closed on January 29, 2010.

On February 17, 2010 the BLM approved the FONSI and decision record (DR). Comments received on the EA were consolidated, along with BLM’s responses and are included in the DR as Attachment 1.
