The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) as lead, along with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Douglas County as cooperating agencies, are announcing the availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Painted Rock Mine. The proposed project consists of an approximately 35-year phased development of an aggregate mine operation on an Indian-owned allotment as administered by BIA. The proposed project is in Douglas County approximately seven miles northeast of Minden, Nevada.
The BIA is now in the 30-day public comment period on the Draft EA that ends on May 31, 2022. In accordance with recent interim guidance for public participation processes during COVID-19 (U.S. Department of the Interior 2020), the BIA will hold virtual public meetings to take comment on the Draft EA. These meetings are open to the public and all interested parties are encouraged to attend.
