The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the City of Imperial Beach plan to create a draft Environmental Impact Statement/Report for the Bayside Community Resiliency project. This project aims to transform a section of the Bayshore Bikeway corridor into a coastal resilience corridor to protect against flooding, improve public access, and enhance habitat areas around San Diego Bay. The proposal includes various alternatives such as constructing a "living levee" and creating a tidal channel to improve stormwater management and provide additional habitat space. Community input is being sought during the scoping period, which closes on February 24, 2025.

The United States Forest Service has requested that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw over 264,000 acres of Federal land in the Ruby Mountains from leasing for minerals and geothermal energy for 20 years to protect the area's natural and cultural resources. This withdrawal request includes additional non-Federal lands that might be acquired by the U.S. in the future. During a two-year temporary segregation period from December 31, 2024, these lands will not be available for leasing, but public input is invited through a 90-day comment period, including a virtual meeting on February 14, 2025. The process for this application will follow existing regulations.
