Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine Counties Groundwater Development Project Final EIS

The Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is expected to be completed and provided to the public in 2010. It will include any necessary revisions to the EIS analysis and responses to all comments received on the Draft EIS.  Information about the Final EIS will be provided to our mailing list recipients, local media, and on this website.  A Notice of Availability (NOA), an official legal notice that a federal agency has issued the Final EIS, will be published in the Federal Register (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html).  

To be added to the mailing list and begin receiving project newsletters and information about the EIS, please e-mail your address to nvgwprojects@blm.gov or call Kim Dow at 775-861-6681.  Please note that our mailing list does not accommodate e-mail; a physical mailing address is required to place you on the list.

Public Comments

Although the 30-day availability period is not a formal public comment period, the BLM will accept and consider comments if they identify significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns and bear upon the proposed action.  Unlike the Draft EIS, there is no requirement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to hold a formal comment period on the Final EIS or to respond to any comments received during the availability period.  Ordinarily, the BLM would respond to significant comments within the Record of Decision.
