In a rare move that could delay progress on NV Energy’s large-scale transmission line planned for the Highway 50 corridor, the federal Bureau of Land Management has ordered its Nevada office to address some environmental groups’ protests against the project. In May, the BLM’s Nevada State Office released its environmental report for the Greenlink North project, as well as a proposed amendment to the resource management plan for the area. Various conservation and wildlife groups and Lander County immediately filed three administrative objections to the report, which needs to be finalized before construction can begin on the multibillion dollar project.
