The endangered species act and the wetlands regulations under the clean water act are proving unworkable in many areas of the nation and are beginning to have a major impact on both private and federally managed lands within Elko County. It is the goal of Elko County to establish local management plans to lessen the impact of these acts and to closely monitor the effects of these and similar acts on the citizens of Elko County. Elko County will pursue the modification of these acts so as to make them less cumbersome and restrictive to private property owners/developers and public land managers.
