The current Clark county OHV open area Park was set up in 1987 and only 9000 acres, The population has grown 10 times since that only OHV BLM park was set up and a new larger one is desperately needed.
The silver state solar south project is planed for a highly used
OHV area just north of
Primm and they
are asking to take 4000 acres of Nevada land to build and solar panels and send
the power to Los Angles . Now the
BLM is planing to turn the rest of the jean -
Primm area into a
ACEC to protect
the tortoise because of the solar plant will displace tortoises. I strongly
urge you to turn the JEAN dry lake valley into an
OHV open area and
OHV park so Las
Vegans have a
place to recreate. The state line
BLM district manages 3,300,000 acres out of that area
the Las Vegas valley and Apex valley totaling 1,700,000 acres are closed to
OHV use due to dust control . The state line district has 20 wilderness and wilderness study areas that total 790,000 acres that are closed to
OHV use . The state line
BLM district has 2
national conservation areas that total 245,000 acres that are closed to
OHV use. The
state line
BLM district have 18
ACECs that are closed to competitive
OHV use that
total 680,000 acres . The state line
BLM district has set aside 9,800 acres for
OHV use and 5500 Acres is
closed to competitive events, this 4300 acres is less than 1.5 tenth of a
percent of the land that
BLM manages in the state line district and this needs to
be addressed.
