LAS VEGAS – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Red Rock/Sloan Field Office is seeking public comment on the Draft Environmental Assessment for the Blue Diamond Hill Reroute and Signage Project, located approximately one mile south of the Scenic Drive entrance at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Southern Nevada. The project includes construction of a 0.3 mile trail reroute, restoring an old section of trail to its natural state,  adding trail markers and way-finding signage on the designated trails on Blue Diamond Hill. The public will be able to provide comments on the document during a 30-day period starting today and closing on July 23, 2025.
 
“We look forward to receiving feedback from the public on the draft environmental assessment,” said Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Manager, Boris Poff. “We have conducted numerous resource surveys, including biological, cultural and palaeontological resources to aid and inform the BLM in the preparation of the document.”
The most helpful comments would do these things:
  • Provide information, data or analysis that should be considered
  • Identify a different way to meet the project need
  • Present information that has not been considered
  • Raise an issue or concern with regard to public land resources
Comments submitted by July 23, 2025, will be most helpful in development of the Final Environmental Assessment.  All comments received will be considered and evaluated for preparation of this document.
Comments can be submitted in the following ways:
