BLM's new Black Rock Desert manager quits after two months
The Bureau of Land Management's Winnemucca District manager position is open, again.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management hired a former U.S. Department of Defense official, Justin Drew, as the new Winnemucca District manager in February. As of Monday, Drew is "no longer with the BLM," according to BLM Winnemucca District spokeswoman Terah Masalm.
On Tuesday, Nevada BLM spokesman Stephen Clutter said that Drew resigned from his position, though he could not discuss the nature of his resignation because it was a personnel matter.
Associate District Manager Michael Toombs will fill the position in the interim. It is unclear whether there are plans to fill the position permanently in the near future, and whether the BLM would pull from the pool of applicants that were in the running in January.
