The Pahrump Field Office will host two virtual information forums to gather public input on the Copper Rays Solar Project proposed on approximately 5,127 acres of BLM-managed public land located in the Pahrump Valley in Nye County immediately adjacent to the Nye-Clark county line, southeast of the Town of Pahrump and approximately 40 miles west of Las Vegas. Copper Rays Solar, LLC has for a right-of-way grant to provide the necessary land and access for the construction, operation and eventual decommissioning of a proposed solar facilities and interconnection to the regional transmission system.
The information forums are being held as part of solar application evaluation and information gathered during the public input period will inform BLM’s determination on whether to continue to process or to deny the Copper Rays Solar Project right-of-way application.
The information forums will be held online on December 15 and December 16, 2021 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.To register for the information forums, please use the following links:
December 15 - zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xabMfThuS--QU2pNKqKCog

More information about the proposed project can be found at go.usa.gov/xekXJ.
The work on the Hemenway Channel trail relocation is slated to be complete mid to late December. The contractor is still working on this project so please stay off the new asphalt until it's open for use.
We are thankful for our friends at Boulder City Public Works and the Regional Flood Control District for seeing this project through from inception to completion!
Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!

The Boulder City hill section of the RMLT between the drainage canal and the road is currently being paved!!
Wow! Magnificent! I will not miss riding in the drainage channel.
Great option. I usually pop out to the road to avoid the canal, so it’s great to be able to stick to a bike path! 🤙🏻
Nice! Great work Boulder.
Hey let's plan a group ride
will ride once it is completed,
😍
That. Is awesome, thanks!
Yay!!! Thank you. 😎

This is good news. The cracks in this section have needed repairs for a while now.
Some TLC please, about time
Can we do wetlands trail next plz!
Thanks for making much needed repairs!!!😎🇺🇸
be sure to carry your park pass. the detour goes through the gates. Thank you for fixing the cracks. We love the trail. There are not signs at the point where you need to turn off and get back on, so watch the mile markers.
You guys should be ashamed of the repair job on this trail lol. You added a sealant then it just drooped down. Its like it never got fixed.
did the pump ever get fixed?
Are BATTERY POWERED golf carts that fit inside the travel lane on the right or left allowed on the trail?
When will the repairs be completed?
ATTENTION! River Mountains Loop Trail Repairs and Partial Closure!
A partial closure in effect September 27 – October 15, from mile post 11 to mile post 14, including the trailhead spur to parking lot near Lake Mead Parkway Entrance Station.
The National Park Service (NPS) has a project to repair cracks on the River Mountains Loop Trail from September 27 through October 15. To maintain public health and safety during repairs, the River Mountains Loop Trail will be partially closed: from mile post 11 to mile post 14, including the trailhead spur to the parking lot near Lake Mead Parkway Entrance Station.
During this temporary closure, visitors can use Lakeshore Road as an alternate route for this section of the loop. For their safety, cyclists are reminded that they must bike in single file on roadways.
For more information on closures at Lake Mead National Recreation Area please visit: Alerts & Conditions- Lake Mead National Recreation Area: www.nps.gov/lake/planyourvisit/conditions.htm
I was thinking instead of filling, they would have to build a bridge across some of them…
About time for this repair. Glad its getting done
That is great news!
FYI ....this confirms it. No I-11 eastern route.
www.newsbreak.com
Policy, politics and progressive commentary For years the Nevada Department of Transportation has proposed building a new highway system for the Interstate 11 Corridor that would run through the City ...We don't need more freeways. We need a rapid transit system, like BART.
Got this in the mail today! I-11 corridor study is back. Beware.
UPDATE INFO: Had an exchange of emails with City of Henderson Chief Infrastructure Officer today and he advises that NDOT Level 2 screening dated June 7th, 2021 removes the Eastern Corridor from from consideration. One of the reasons given was lack of public support. He also suggest they we continue our our public comments as this project moves forward. I have added a map dated June 7th, 2021 showing the preferred corridors.
Here is map referred to above.
It doesn't help that it's a terrible option for routing I-11. I see the gain of an Eastern bypass to I-15 but we have too much displacement now. With plans to start construction 20 years away, it will be even more populated on east side. Look at options to use existing routes more efficiently. That could even mean expanding rights of way but it still displaces many homes and businesses.
Hey! Can we get some of these for the trail?
Yea. Some of those gaps are getting ridiculous. 😜
Hello All,
We have been getting a lot of inquiries on when cracks and other issues on the trail will be addressed by our partners at City of Henderson, Boulder City and Lake Mead NRA.
I'm happy to announce that I've been in contact with all three partners and they are all in the process of programming funding to get these issues taken care of.
Lake Mead will prioritize cracks between mile markers 12 and 14 and also cracks outside that area.
Henderson will adress cracks on the segment between tunnel 1 and 2 along Lake Mead Parkway. (Henderson crack sealed and slurried 5 miles of the trail last year from Railroad Pass to the just past the bridge at Equestrian and a section by mile marker 7.)
Boulder City is working with RTC of Southern Nevada to identify funding for RMLT trail rehabilitation.
We'll keep you updated on the progress of these improvements as they move along.
Thanks,
Ron Floth
River Mountains Loop Trail Partnership
good, I will be on the trail tomorrow, looking for E-bikes to race and beat. bring it.
I dont see nothing been said about the wetlands trail leading to lake las vegas. There huge cracks all over the trail starting at sunrise trail head. If you could please also fix this we all be very thankful.
If you only talked to the people in the know. Thought you left.
Don't let them all do it at the same time. Make sure they put in bypasses when they do it. If you are past the half way mark and come to a section that you cannot pass because the trail is being rehabed then it makes for a very bad day.
Thank you Ron! We love our RMLT and can’t wait for the repairs.
The cracks filled in between Henderson and Boulder City already need refilled. Nice try, but maybe someone more substantial than just tar?
Thanks Ron. Should be perfect for our race in October
Not a fan of slurry, feel it makes the surface rough but the cracks on 12-14 are very dangerous to inexperienced riders so thanks for the update Ron
That's a good start. Planning for these costs annually to keep up with them would help greatly. Some of these gaps have gotten worse over a period of 3 to 4 years. That's neglectful, IMO.
Hello, I have a question. Would I be better off with a mountain bike, or will a skinny get the job done? I have both, but can only fit one into the semi. Thanks for any suggestions ✌
Zoe Klein Albright- FYI- hopefully this answers your questions!
Thanks for the updates!!!
