Public Land Order No. 7219; Partial Revocation of the Executive Order of July 6, 1910; Wyoming

Zusammenfassung

This order partially revokes an Executive order insofar as it affects 18,846.72 acres of public land withdrawn for the protection of coal reserves near Rock Springs, Wyoming. This action, taken in conjunction with termination of Oil Shale Classification Order No. 1, will result in opening the land to the public land laws and to nonmetalliferous location under the 1872 Mining Law. The withdrawal is no longer needed for the protection of coal reserves and the Environmental Impact Statement completed in March 1996, for the proposed Green River Resource Management Plan, calls for the revocation of the coal land withdrawal. The revocation is needed to complete the opening of the land in response to a petition from a potential mining claimant. The entire 18,846.72 acres has been and will remain open to the mineral leasing laws.
