Draft EIS – August 2007 Appendix I-Withdrawn Lands 

APPENDIX I—WITHDRAWN LANDS 

Withdrawn lands are public lands administered by other Federal or State agencies. Withdrawals are 

generally for a specific purpose such as a reclamation project or wildlife refuge. When the agency to 

which the withdrawal is granted ceases to use the land for the specified purpose, the withdrawal will be 

re-evaluated, and if appropriate, the management of that area will revert to the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM). These lands are withdrawn from settlement, location, sale or entry and reserved for 

use by the designated agency. The following tables list tracts in Alabama and Mississippi that have been 

withdrawn to management by other Federal agencies.
