    Access road in Nipton Ca is posted as a private road no trespassing sign.   If you want access you need to contact the EPA Give address to write to.  I've used this road sense 2000 and here it was posted before the 8 of Oct, as another member tried access it. What is the story of this do we need to plan ahead on this one or just forget it.    Filed this in claims report a week ago and have heard nothing.

    You probably won't get a response on a claim report. 

    Contact the agency that controls the ground the road is on, and goes to.  See if they have a valid public right of way or easement.  If so, let them know it is posted and see where you go from there.

    Then what you are saying each person needs to contact the EPA for access? The road says private no trespassing.    

      Thanks. I'm just a little disgusted.

    I was just suggesting that you might find out quicker by contacting the agency that controls the ground the claim is on to find out they have a right of way or public easement.  The office has been downsized with the change of ownership and Walt may be a few days getting to it.  If you find that there is no access, then email Walt and he can start working on it with the claim owner or agency.

     

    We are all in this thing together and if we can find out information it helps everyone.  I try to keep up on the claims up here in my area and let folks know what is going on with things.

    HI Frank I have gone through many pages and documents, it looks like the closure was to only be when and in area of work. I am not sure and could not get hold of the correct person in the needles BLM office. I would suggest calling them to see and be sure to have the 4 star claim location on hand to give them. It seems that route is a ROW and it could be that the no trespassing signs are meant to relate to off road use. I know that in 2014 my predecessor did some research on this but it seems the notes may not have been digitized. I do have pictures of the signs that I saved in the database and that is the only reason I know it was worked on previously. I have a picture of three different types of signage. Two are no trespassing signs on opposite sides of the road, this area may be where the ROW is going through some private land and then there is an ESA sign with Transmission project insignia on it. This is the one I would be interested in knowing about and the parameters of meaning of this sign should be known by the BLM office.The claims have been accessed through those roads from before 2000, let them know that. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and yes I did get the mining report or report that was sent in but have been very busy. Sorry for the delay in answering.    The monitor that you would get permission from according to the sign is the monitor associated with the transmission project which at the time and possible still is monitoring under their contractual agreement and ROD through the BLM. That is why I suggest contacting the BLM.

    I found a few contacts but they may be out of date, they are still on the website though.       addresses Nevada.pdf

    The info on the sign says contact the EPA in  NV and did that and they know nothing about it.  They  will try to find out and contact me. They have no road closer Division so it is under something else but no one knows what.
