BLM Kemmerer Asks Public to Avoid Reclamation Areas
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kemmerer Field Office (KFO) is asking the public to avoid sensitive reclamation areas in the Moxa Arch oil and gas field and other sites throughout the KFO area.
Most of these areas are delineated and have signs indicating their reclamation status. It is vital that they remain free of disturbances from vehicles and other activities to allow time for vegetation to re-establish.
Successful reclamation restores habitat for big game animals and other wildlife, including Greater Sage-grouse, and deters invasive plant species. The recovery of these areas can also contribute to a more positive experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
For more information, please contact Deej Brown at 307-828-4506.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
