ELKO, Nev. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service has announced a delay in the environmental review process for a management plan for national forest roads in northeastern Nevada.
Agency officials told Elko County commissioners on Thursday that the draft environmental impact statement for the plan won’t be released until April or May.
The draft EIS was originally scheduled to be released next month, with a final plan released in May or June.
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest officials now say the final EIS won’t be released until the fall because of a lack of resources and staff.
