Burning Man music fest awaits bureau’s decision
RENO, Nev.
With Burning Man three months away, organizers are still waiting for permits and decisions by U.S. land managers that could reshape the counterculture festival in northern Nevada.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is reviewing more than 2,000 public comments about a document released in April that assessed the risk of terror attack and included proposals to conduct drug searches and add trash bins and concrete barriers at the festival in the vast and remote Black Rock Desert.
The environmental impact statement aims to detail how the more than weeklong event affects the surrounding land and communities, from the playa surface to air quality and traffic flow. The festival, dubbed the largest outdoor arts festival in North America, culminates with the burning of a towering wooden effigy.
A final report is expected to say whether Burning Man can increase from 80,000 attendees to 100,000.
It is expected June 14, bureau spokesman Rudy Evenson told the Reno Gazette Journal this week, meaning that permits for this festival could come in late July after a public review and other steps. The event begins Aug. 25.
