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.
