dunefreak Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Maybe ask what the latest is on that I40 project and see if the BLM is going to be able to get their hands on the asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I was thinking the same thing. ...and Woody have you heard from the GD guy on the grindings? I haven't, but it might be a good time to throw out the thought of "What if we can pimp some grindings for free?"....and see if the BLM might even be receptive about the concept. Even if it doesn't happen. It would be nice to know if they would even be "open" to that possibility. Seems like we have quite a few asphalt guys around on the site lately.

wsky70 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Haven't heard anything back from him yet. I left all my info. I'm sure they will jump on it if we can get it set up. Can't hurt to have extra laying around, worse case scenrio is put it over near the vendors..... I'll make sure to pass the info at the TRT....SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was wondering what the real name of the water crossing was..... If we attend ourselves can we inquire about anything we want to? Like spending, budgets? fees etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like spending, budgets? fees etc? I believe you can at the end of the meeting when they open it up to public comment. At least that is the way most meetings go....and the one I did attend, which concerned funding, had time for public input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was wondering what the real name of the water crossing was..... If we attend ourselves can we inquire about anything we want to? Like spending, budgets? fees etc? I believe the river crossing is called the Amargosa River Crossing. As for other items, they welcome any and all public input when it is time for questions and comments, but at the same the TRT doesn't want the public to treat it as a b*tch session. It is for constructive discussion for items at Dumont Dunes. I urge you to go to one of the meetings though if you have any ideas or things that might help the BLM.

wsky70 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Couple days later, but I've been a little busy. Got to the meeting about 30 minutes late even. Again, I was the only user there.... :surrender: They were getting a presentation on some collection machines for the entrance. Think there on the right path with that. So there should be a couple new ones there by next season. They had a draft copy of the Helipad, looks like it will be pretty nice. And no access fee's were used to fund it. Looking at some more asphalt from the razor road project instead of the 40, supposed to get started sooner and be closer to dumont which will cut down transportation cost. Hopefully that will be complete by end of summer. BLM has the Funco for is stricly for law enforcement not EMS. They have some, but are lacking in exp drivers, Grant from Funco is stepping up to the plate and will be giving some classes to the pers that will be driving them, details still to be worked out though. The orange posts and caution they put on the closed trails seem to be working, Roxy said it looked like out of bounds travel was down since installation. They will be submitting for grant money soon, but just because they get some, doesn't mean it will all be for Dumont, Barsow BLM has over 3 million acres of land they oversee and that money is dispersed throughout all the areas. They are carrying over 180k (Dumont Money) into next year, with little bills still out, and the entrance fee machines will come from that as well. Most of that money will be for getting started on the upcoming season. Dr. William Presch, gave an update on the lizard, most all positive sounding, they seen as many if not more in all the areas they keep watch over. Still not outta the water, but sounding better to me. I asked about another Sat meeting, won't be the next one, but will be one on Sat before the season starts. The next meeting will be on June 3rd, 2008. Barstow BLM office. Hope some more can make it out, until next time....SF Woody Edited April 11, 2008 by wsky70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cheese Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 thanks woody!!! good news about that fuggin lizard!!!!!! and with money carried over into next season, coupled with the new green sticker fees starting this year, we MIGHT be able to ask for a reduction in entrance fees!! I'll be there for that Saturday meeting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
