A fence has been built around the property as a part of its conversion to a laydown yard for NV Energy’s Greenlink West project.
Runoff from the spring will go under the fence as shown in the following video but access to the other water holes will be cut off.
The Esmeralda County assessor does not show any sales history for the property.
The APN is 006-261-05 and the current owner is HRH NEVADA RESOURCES, LTD.
The parcel map shows one 80-acre tract, 1,320 ft × 2,640 ft, minus 3.48 acres for Silver Peak Road.
Most of the new transmission line will run across BLM land.
The Decision Record and Final EIS can be found in the NEPA review by clicking on the Documents link near the top of the page.
A map in the January construction report shows the portion near Alkali as Segment 2.

cutting off access to Alkali Springs is terrible. With all that desert land one would think a better location could have been found to support Greenlinks construction project. Is anyone monitoring any potential environmental damage to the spring? Wild animals need water & it is BLM’s responsibility to take care of the land & environment over commercially profitable projects. If ranchers want to raise cattle the should buy land & not be allowed to use public lands. Wild horses over cattle every day of the week
extremely upsetting to see. Thank you for what you do and helping report on this
Horses trapped inside fencing! One horse flipped onto fence hanging upside down screaming. Two men caused this trying to scare the horses…she has a baby. All caught on “Desert Water” video, YouTube. Someone please Help!
