Hi Everyone, We desperately need the help of every one of you this Thursday 3:00pm at the Bob Ruud Center located on the corner of Hwy 160 and Basin Ave. This will be our LAST and ONLY chance to speak on this matter. Keep in mind that while you will be allowed to speak at this meeting, only written commits will be entered into record and considered in the study. Do not be fooled, any of the 4 alternatives being offered will greatly restrict our access and activities on OUR public land. They simply sell you a few unspecific things you might be able to do without telling you all the rights that will be removed such as shooting, hiking, mining and grazing (retaliation to Bundy family). We are planning a Welcome Committee for the BLM goons. Please bring any protest signs or materials you may have to make some. We will have some materials on sight to make more. Pahrump needs to send a loud and clear message to the Bureau of Landgrabing Maggots. Plan on being there around 2:00pm. This is important enough to take time off work. Never expect someone else to stand up for your rights if you are not willing too. We are all in this life and battle together. I will update you with more plans soon. Attached is a map of the areas affected. Thats right, all the areas in yellow. That is 1.74 million new acres plus adding further restrictions to the existing 1.2 million acres already designated as ACEC. Here is a link to the approximately 100 closure maps of the study area. https://blm.gov/epl-front-office/eplanning/planAndProjectSite.do?methodName=dispatchToPatternPage¤tPageId=12408 Please read over the information below and get familiar with what is about to happen to use. Commit forms will be furnished at their presentation so start getting your commits prepared now. These are our resources, not the feds and globalists. Please spread the word to everyone you know and get them to this important meeting. Best Wishes, Kenny Bent 702-480-0861 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIORBUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT NEWS RELEASE Southern Nevada District Office Release Date: 10/16/14 Contacts: 702-515-5057 BLM Hosts Public Meetings for the Draft Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement Available for BLM Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Las Vegas –As part of the draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) and draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices, the Bureau of Land Management will host five public meetings the first two weeks of November. November 3 – Laughlin Library, 2840 South Needles Hwy, Laughlin November 5 – James I. Gibson Library, 100 W. Lake Mead Parkway, Henderson November 6 – Amargosa Valley Community Center, 821 E. Farm Road, Amargosa Valley November 12 – Las Vegas Library, 833 Las Vegas Blvd North, Las Vegas November 13 – Bob Rudd Community Center, 150 N State Route (Highway) 160, Pahrump All meetings will have same format. The public meetings will be held from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. and will be an open house format where participants can ask questions and visit various resource stations, with formal presentations at 3:15 p.m., 4:15 p.m., 5:15 p.m., and 6:15 p.m. Court reporters and comment forms will be available for submission of public comments. Four alternatives were analyzed in the draft RMP/EIS: Alternative 1 is defined as a continuation of the current management direction contained in the 1998 Las Vegas Resource Management Plan and its amendments and changes since incorporation. This alternative describes the current goals and actions for management of resources and land uses in the planning area. The management direction could also be modified by current laws, regulations, and policies. Alternative 2 emphasizes the protection of the planning area’s resource values while allowing commodity uses as consistent with current laws, regulations, and policies. Management actions would emphasize resource values such as habitats for wildlife and plant species (including special status species), protection of riparian areas and water quality, preservation of ecologically important areas, maintenance of wilderness characteristics, and protection of scientifically important cultural and paleontological sites. Access to and development of resources within the planning area could occur with intensive management and mitigation of surface-disturbing and disruptive activities. Alternative 3 provides opportunities to use and develop resources within the planning area while ensuring resource protection. Alternative 3 would provide continued access to and development of resources with stipulations and mitigation to protect natural and cultural resources. Alternative 3 represents the mix and variety of actions that the BLM believes best resolves the issues and management concerns in consideration of all values and programs, and is thus considered BLM’s preferred alternative. Alternative 4 emphasizes opportunities to use and develop resources within the planning area. It would provide for motorized access and commodity production with minimal restrictions while providing protection of natural and cultural resources to the extent required by law, regulation, and policy. This alternative would largely rely on existing laws, regulations, and policies, rather than special management or special designations, to protect sensitive resources.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLMs mission is to manage and conserve the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2013, the BLM generated $4.7 billion in receipts from public lands. --BLM-- Southern Nevada District Office 4701 North Torrey Pines, Las Vegas, NV 89130 Last updated: 10-17-2014 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ACECS Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) are human restricted management areas.
