County staff: state engineer not pursuing curtailment; water‑plan draft sections coming for review

Elko County Natural Resource Management Advisory Commission and County Staff · May 18, 2026

Summary

County staff reported the state engineer said curtailment is not being pursued, DRI will supply additional water‑plan draft sections soon, and county is engaging technical assistance (NPSRTCA grant) for outdoor space planning.

County staff updated commissioners on water‑plan and open‑space planning work and on recent engagement with state water officials. Staff said the state engineer told a recent Public Lands Legislative Committee meeting that curtailment is not being pursued at this time. The county expects DRI to deliver two additional sections of the draft water plan in the coming weeks for local review.

Staff also said the county is pursuing technical assistance on outdoor space planning under a NPSRTCA grant; Brandon Stockdale is expected to support production of a stronger outdoor space plan and staff are in discussion with other technical consultants about consolidating public‑land use planning.
