On March 11, 2016, Schroeder Law Offices sponsored and participated in the celebration of the finalization of the title transfer process of the Rye Patch Dan and Reservoir from the United State Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to Pershing County Water Conservation District (PCWCD). This title transfer process has taken 20+ years to substantially complete. The Pershing County Community Center provided the celebration venue on the evening of Friday, March 11, 2016. Those in attendance included the PCWCD Board of Directors, District constituents, community members, individuals involved in the process from the Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Land Management as well as Congressmen, Senators, and Assemblymen from the State of Nevada. The award ceremony included a brief history of the process and speeches from individuals involved in the title transfer process with plaques given to those who have been directly involved and influential in the process. The ceremony was followed by a BBQ tri-tip dinner sponsored by PCWCD, Schroeder Law Offices, Bullen Law, LLC, and Stix Livestock.
