BLM approves construction of Sevier Playa potash mining project
FILLMORE, Utah — The Bureau of Land Management has approved the initial phase of the Sevier Playa potash project, granting Peak Minerals authorization to move forward with construction and operations. This decision allows for the extraction of potash and other minerals across more than 124,000 acres of mineral leases, along with the development of supporting infrastructure both on and off lease areas.
Projects like this support President Trump’s Executive Order 14241, “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production,” to boost domestic mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign minerals, enhance national security, and create jobs.
Additional information is available at the BLM National NEPA Register. For more information, please contact the Fillmore Field Office at [email protected] or 435-743-3100.
