The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reopening the public comment period on a May 2025 proposed rule that would list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub, a small fish found only in Esmeralda County, Nevada, as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The agency's also scheduling a public hearing to give stakeholders another chance to weigh in before finalizing the listing decision. This affects water users, landowners, and resource managers in the Fish Lake Valley area of southwestern Nevada.
In the agency’s own words
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are reopening the comment period on our May 21, 2025, proposed rule to list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub (Siphateles obesus ssp.), a fish found in Esmeralda County in southwestern Nevada, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are taking this action to conduct a public hearing and to allow all interested parties an additional opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. Comments previously submitted on the proposed rule need not be resubmitted and will be fully considered in our development of the final rule.
The reporting behind this
From More Than Just ParksA memo signed by Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik rewrites the heart of the Endangered Species Act without a vote, a rule, or a single public comment.
It’s referred to as Unit 346 in the Twin Mountain II Timber Sale. On the ground, it’s some of the most spectacular old growth we’ve ever witnessed, and it’s marked for clearcutting.
