With plans for restoration underway at Tungsten Mountain, the Bureau of Land Management of the Carson City District is coordinating geothermal projects in Dixie Valley, according to an update presented at the Board of Churchill County Commissioners meeting on Wednesday.
The BLM received more than $1.1 million for repair work from damages at the Tungsten fire site east of Fallon in August. The fire burnt 16,755 acres by the time it was contained in early September.
BLM projects include the Dixie Meadows Mitigation Project involving renewable energy, with plans of building a 20-megawatt geothermal site at Tungsten Mountain, said Acting District Manager Colleen Dulin.
