Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Proposed Projects

The Forest Service is considering amending its land management plans to address new and evolving issues arising since implementing sage-grouse plans in 2015. This project is in cooperation with the USDI Bureau of Land Management.

Reconstruct the existind dam to address safety concerns related to age of the existing structure.

1.9 acres of temporary road, acres of drill sites and sumps.

Construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of a 500kV transmission line between Clover Substation in Juab County, Utah, and Robinson Summit Substation in White Pine County,Nevada

Timber restoration and hazardous fuels reduction near Jarbidge, NV. Proposed treatments include mechanical, prescribed fire, biomass utilization of firewood through the local community, prescriptive grazing and fuel breaks.

The Forest Service plans to use mechanical equipment, hand thinning, prescribed fire, prescriptive and targeted grazing to implement up to approximately 20,000 acres per year across the approximate 245,500-acre project area.

The project proposes locatable mineral exploration drilling from approximately 17 drill sites within the Project Area. Reclamation would be completed to the standards described in 36 CFR 228 and NAC 519. Project disturbance would be less 5 acres.

We propose to apply prescribed fire on up to 30,000 acres of national forest system lands per year to improve native vegetation and wildlife habitats and to reduce risk of uncharacteristic wildfire.

Construction, Operation, Maintenance and Decommissioning of 525kV Transmission Line between Robinson Summit Substation in White Pine County, NV and Fort Churchill Substation in Churchill County, NV.

Re-routing of three road segments that are currently in drainage bottoms.

Construct new 71' monopole to replace 40' lite site tower to support AT&T FirstNet communications for emergency responders. Add new 35'x12'equipment shelter.

Kinross proposes to conduct approximately 140 acres of disturbance through phased mineral exploration and associated activities in the 7,600 acre Project Area on NFS land over a 10-year period from the date of authorization.

The Leviathan LEX would exchange NFS lands that are either part of or adjacent to a Superfund site. Land uses related to those lands will remain the same with a focus on remediation of the site. Lands acquired are native forest.

The proposed action is to authorize cattle grazing within the McKinney, Meadow Canyon, Monitor Valley East, Monitor Valley West, Silver Creek, and Table Mountain allotments in a manner that will not hinder attainment of LRMP desired condition

The project proposes locatable minerals exploration drilling from approximately 6 drill sites within the Project Area. Subsequent phases could include up to an additional 9 drill sites. Total project disturbance would not exceed 15 acres on NFS lands

Replacement of three bridges in Elko County - 1. Charleston-Jarbidge Bridge; 2. Schoonover Creek Bridge, and 3. Mill Creek Bridge

Project consists of the temporary construction of up to 25 miles of new and/or reconstruction of previously reclaimed roads; construction of 250 drill sites; exploration drilling activities, and reclamation of all proposed disturbances.

Implementation of new fence to facilitate better recreational opportunity on the Summit Trail and livestock management within the Rebel Creek Allotment.

The project proposes locatable mineral exploration drilling from approximately 14 drill sites within the Project Area. Reclamation would be completed to the standards described in 36 CFR 228 and NAC 519A. Project disturbance would be less 5 acres.

NV Energy proposes replacement of three electrical transmission lines (101, 102, and 133) with modernized electrical design line, using existing alignment (right of way) to significantly improve reliability within the electric power grid.

The Carson Ranger District of the Humboldt Toiyabe (HT) National Forest is proposing improvements to the Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Trail, a 1.3-mile loop, in Washoe County, Nevada approximately 10 miles north of Incline Village. The proposed action

The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest proposes to reduce forest fire hazard by using mechanical methods and/or prescribed fire to reduce tree density, fuel loading both live and dead and reduce ladder fuels on National Forest Systems Lands.
