The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has requested the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw approximately 1,043.57 acres of public land in Clark County, Nevada, from mining and leasing under certain laws for 20 years to protect a utility and transportation corridor for future infrastructure and public services. This proposal aims to prevent conflicting land uses and facilitate orderly development. The public has until April 15, 2025, to comment on the proposal or request a public meeting. Until January 15, 2027, the land is temporarily protected from mining and leasing, but mineral materials can still be disposed of under certain conditions.
