The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) proposes to repair a rock embankment at Pennsylvania Canyon; restore an access road at Clover Creek; and reclaim five borrow areas, portions of which are located partially within the boundaries of the Clover Mountains Wilderness Area in Lincoln County, Nevada (see Figure 1). The five borrow areas were used by UPRR as a source of rip-rap or soil fill for repairing flood damage to the rail line which occurred in January 2005. UPRR, in cooperation with BLM, has prepared this environmental document to analyze the reclamation alternatives and the no-action alternative for these activities.
