What is it? How we apply it?What goes into it?

Suitability Model

When looking at the percent of truck traffic overlayed on a map of slope–we can intuitively see where climbing or passing lanes may be needed.

Slope • up to 12 percent—

considered fully developable• up to 24 percent—partially

constrained• slopes above 24 percent—

considered not developable

Land ownership • Nevada encompasses nearly

71 million acres• over 60 million acres

(approximately 87 percent) are under federal administration

• only about 13 percent of Nevada’s land is in private ownership, less than any other state

Environmental Constraints Factors considered as environmental constraints include:• wetlands and

Waters of the U.S.• areas of critical

environmental concern• critical habitat• wilderness and park areas• wildlife refuge• national/state forest

and park• cultural resources

Analysis that allows the consideration of various factors to determine the appropriateness of an action.
