"Washoe County is asking for input from you and your group regarding the
proposed wilderness area component of the bill. We have scheduled a
meeting to hear your input and answer any questions at the Washoe County
Commission Chambers inside the Washoe County Administration Complex (1001

A comprehensive federal lands bill is being proposed for Washoe County,
which also goes by the name of Washoe County Economic Development and
Conservation Act. The bill includes three distinct components:
- The two draft maps of the greater Reno/Sparks area.
- Names, acreages and maps of federal lands in the northern portion of
Washoe County that will be proposed as new wilderness areas
- The actual language that accompanies these maps.

Washoe County Community Services Department published two maps of proposed areas that Washoe County is requesting be transferred out of federal ownership for economic development, conservation and other civic purposes. Mapping includes requests from the local jurisdictions and public stakeholders. Commissioners approved the draft mapping of the areas that may be impacted by the transfer of land.
The two maps can be seen here (See map one and map two).

American Mining Rights Association advised the following on the suction dredge case in California
Unfortunately, and regretfully, we have just been contacted by Brandon Rinehart and his case was denied by the United States Supreme Court.
Here is the email to Brandon from PLF:
Brandon,
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court denied your petition this morning. I’m sure this is a disappointment to you and James, as it is for me.
The silver lining is that, although this is the end of your case, the defense of miners’ rights continues. James has done great work challenging Oregon’s suction-dredge ban in Bohmker in the Ninth Circuit, which PLF supported as amicus on behalf of Western Mining Alliance. A win in that case will render California’s ban preempted too. The SG’s brief highlighted Bohmker as another opportunity for the Court to consider the preemption question if the Ninth Circuit goes the wrong way.
