As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.

The statewide reconnaissance soil survey is designed to furnish basic soil data needed to evaluate a variety of potential uses. Soil Hydrologic Groups, Soil Materials Sources, Soil Erosion Potential and Soil Irrigability Classes are among the several interpretive evaluations made in Railroad Valley as a result of the survey. The soils of the Railroad Valley area were identified~ mapped, and named according to the U. S. Comprehensive System of Soil Classi­ fication. In addition to being used in the development of the State Water Plan, the progressive reconnaissance soil sur­ vey will also contribute to an eventual soil map of Nevada which will be a basic resource data source for state, re­ gional and local land evaluation and development planning.

    February 3, 2020 Jamie Lynn Rodriguez Washoe County 1001 E. Ninth Street Reno, NV 89512 RE: Draft Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act Dear Ms. Rodriguez We appreciate the opportunity to work with the County, Nevada’s Members of Congress and other stakeholders to craft balanced public lands legislation. The Conservation Lands Foundation has engaged with Washoe County leaders throughout the development of the Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act in its various iterations, and we continue to urge the County to consider the tremendous conservation and recreation opportunities laid out below as you work to formulate your final recommendations to the Nevada Delegation. We also urge you to be mindful of the potential problems for example mass Wilderness Study Area releases may cause as we move forward in this process in Washoe County and particularly as this proposal makes its way through Congress. Over the past several years, the Conservation Lands Foundation has worked to advance the management of the National Conservation Lands, and expand the system to include lands worthy of long term conservation protections. We believe there are regions within purview of the proposal that are worthy of Wilderness, National Conservation Area, and other permanent designations that are essential for habitat connectivity, cultural and historic preservation, and the growing outdoor recreation industry. We support Wilderness proposals that secure the protection of the following Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) and Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWCs): Macy ● The larger Wilderness proposal (approximately 20,000 acres) should stand as the area is an important habitat link for Greater Sage-Grouse as well as bighorn sheep and many other species, and provides important connectivity to the Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge.
