Bureau of Land Management

Description

The Bureau of Land Management, with approval of the Secretary of the Department of Interior, manages the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Program in Nevada. Of the revenue generated through the SNPLMA, as amended, 85 percent is deposited into the SNPLMA Special Account to fund specified kinds of projects. The projects include: parks, trails, and natural areas that benefit certain cities and counties in Nevada; capital improvements for certain federally-managed areas; conservation initiatives on Federal land in certain counties in Nevada; a multi-species habitat conservation plan; environmentally sensitive land acquisitions; hazardous fuels reduction projects, implementation of the Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Project; and the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act Projects. The remaining 15 percent is distributed to the State of Nevada's general education program (5 percent) and the Southern Nevada Water Authority (10 percent) for water treatment and transmission facility infrastructure in Clark County, Nevada.
