Utah Planning and NEPA

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) land use plans evaluate and guide the management of resources and uses on public lands. Using the principles of multiple use and sustained yield, BLM Utah seeks to maximize resource values on public land for current and future generations, ensuring the health, diversity, and productivity of public land. BLM Utah manages approximately 23 million surface acres of public land.
