LAS VEGAS –The Bureau of Land Management Las Vegas Field Office has released the final Environmental Assessment for the proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment and unsigned Finding of No Significant Impact for Logandale Trails. As part of this planning effort, the BLM Las Vegas Field Office has also developed a Recreation Area Management Plan and Travel Management Plan. The release of these documents initiates a 30-day public review and protest period starting today that concludes May 10, 2023.
“The amendment of the 1998 Las Vegas Resource Management Plan will designate Logandale Trails as a Special Recreation Management Area which would allow the BLM to manage Logandale Trails with recreation as its primary management focus,” said Carina Williams, Acting Las Vegas Field Manager. “As part of this effort, the BLM has also prepared a Recreation Area Management Plan and Travel Management Plan that will change the OHV area designation from ‘limited to existing trails’ to ‘limited to designated trails.’ The amendment would also designate small areas as ‘open OHV areas.’”
These plans will provide site-specific management that will enhance recreation opportunities within Logandale Trails and reduce conflicts among recreation users, other resource uses, biological and cultural resources.
The final Environmental Assessment for the proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment, and unsigned Finding of No Significant Impact are available online at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2016311/510. Any person who previously participated in the planning process and has an interest that is (or may be) adversely affected by the proposed plan may file a protest. Instructions on how to file a protest are at https://www.blm.gov/ filing-a-plan-protest.
