The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comment on an Alpine County plan amendment at an open house during the regular meeting of the Alpine County Board of Supervisors 9 a.m. April 3 at the Alpine County Administrative Office Building, 99 Water Street, Markleeville.

The BLM, Carson City Field Office, is seeking public input to an amendment to their draft resources management plan on approximately 19,000 acres of land managed by the BLM in Alpine County.

As part of the amendment, an environmental assessment has been prepared to analyze designation of public lands suitable for retention, disposal by sale or exchange, or conveyance for community expansion purpose.

The environmental assessment has also analyzed travel and recreation management by designating road and trail routes on public land and allotments available for livestock grazing.

Copies of the document and related maps can be accessed and downloaded on the Internet www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/carson_city_field.html and public comment will be accepted through April 15.
