By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
It’s almost time for the Forest Service to make a recommendation on a proposal to offer oil and gas leases in Nevada’s Ruby Mountains.
But first the agency is giving the public another chance to weigh in.
“We want to make sure if there is any new information out there we didn’t receive the first go around we get it and we consider it like we are supposed to,” said Joshua Nicholes, acting district ranger for the Mountain City, Ruby Mountains, Jarbidge Ranger District of the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest.
