Public land order partial revocation
This order partially revokes two Public Land Orders (PLOs) insofar as they affect approximately 2,127,845 acres of public land reserved for use as the Dalton Utility Corridor and for study and classification, as appropriate, by the Department of the Interior. Revocation of the PLOs within the Dalton Utility Corridor opens these lands to mineral and resource development opportunity. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) analyzed partial revocation of these PLOs in the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Central Yukon Proposed Resource Management Plan, published April 19, 2024.
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
