WELCOME TO PUBLIC LAND STATISTICS 2009
 

Welcome to the 2009 edition of the Public Land Statistics (PLS), published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). As in past PLS publications, this

year’s cover is designed to convey the scope of the BLM’s complex and multifaceted mission using visual imagery. The 80-plus tables inside tell the story of the BLM’s mission, programs, and 

accomplishments using numerical data and detailed footnotes. 

Many of the minor acreage changes from one year to the next occur because: 

1. In holdings have been acquired or some other land exchange has taken place during the year. 

2. Better GIS mapping of land boundaries has enabled us to recalculate the total BLM acres

within the unit. 

Note that data presented in the 2009 Public Land Statistics tables may not exactly match data in

other BLM publications covering Fiscal Year 2009 operations and accomplishments. This occurs 

because the databases that provide table data are not static; they are constantly being updated to

provide the latest information, sometimes many months after the end of the fiscal year. We have 

presented the most current data available in this edition of Public Land Statistics. 

We remain committed to publishing a Public Land Statistics report each year that is timely, complete, and as helpful as possible to our readers.

PART 1 

LAND RESOURCES AND INFORMATION 

The total area of the 50 United States is 2.3 billion acres. The first public domain was created in 1781 

when New York agreed to surrender to the Federal Government its claim to unsettled territory that 

extended westward to the Mississippi River. Other colonies followed New York’s example and, by 1802, 

all of the land west of the colonies between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River 

belonged to the Federal Government. In the course of national expansion from 1781 to 1867, the public 

domain rapidly grew beyond the bounds of the Appalachian West, with the Federal Government 

acquiring over 1.8 billion acres of public domain lands. 

Accurate surveys were needed before the new public lands could be identified for sale or other 

disposition. In 1785, the Continental Congress adopted an ordinance setting up a survey system for the 

public domain lands. The General Land Office, predecessor to the present-day Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), was established to oversee the surveying and disposal of the public lands. Various 

public land laws were enacted by Congress to accomplish these disposals. The land disposals built the 

country’s economic foundation, opened the West to settlement, and united the vast expanses of land into 

one Nation. To raise money to repay Revolutionary War debts and encourage settlement of new 

territories, the Federal Government sold or granted vast tracts of public lands to settlers, homesteaders, 

veterans, towns, new States entering the Union, railroads, agricultural and mechanical colleges and 

universities, and private companies. To date, almost 1.3 billion acres of public lands have been 

transferred out of Federal Government ownership. 

Congress recognized the need to protect the Nation's natural, historical, and cultural resources while 

providing opportunities for recreation. Special acts withdrew millions of acres of public lands from 

settlement for National Parks, National Forests, National Monuments, National Wildlife Refuges, 

National Trails, and National Wild and Scenic Rivers. Some of the best-known congressional 

withdrawals include Yellowstone National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Death Valley National 

Monument. 

The Nation’s expanding population and mobile society created a demand for a variety of public land uses. 

Changes in public attitudes and a concern for environmental values and open space began to compete 

with the need for development and increased production. Congress, recognizing the value of the 

remaining public domain lands, enacted the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976. 

This Act declares that, with the exception of individual tracts that may be disposed of in the national 

interest, it is the policy of the United States to retain its public lands in Federal ownership. The Act 

mandates that the BLM administer the public lands under the concept of multiple use, while protecting 

the long-term health of the land. Today, the BLM administers about 249.7 million surface acres of public 

land and approximately 700 million acres of Federal subsurface mineral estate in the United States. The 

BLM is responsible for managing these lands and their various resources so that they are utilized in a 

manner that will best meet the present and future needs of the Nation.

Table 1-1, Acquisition of the Public Domain, contains summary data on territories acquired by the 

Federal Government during the course of national expansion. Thirty States, commonly called the “public 

land States,” were created as a result of these acquisitions (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, 

California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, 

Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, 

Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming). 

Table 1-2, Disposition of the Public Domain, includes summary data and cumulative acreage totals for 

public lands disposed of by the Federal Government. Among the earliest disposal actions were grants of 

land to veterans of the Revolutionary War. Later, grants were made to new States entering the Union, as 

well as for the creation of agricultural and mechanical colleges and universities. The Homestead Act 

permitted settlers to obtain land for agricultural purposes. Grants were also made for the construction of 

railroads. With the exception of the Desert Land Act of 1877 (which was amended), all of the land grant 

and disposal acts have been repealed or superseded by other acts. Therefore, the data contained in 

Table 1-2, except for the State of Alaska, is subject to little or no change. 

Table 1-3, Mineral and Surface Acres Administered by the BLM, contains summary data of mineral 

estate administration by the BLM and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This table replaced the U.S. General 

Services Administration table titled “Comparison of Federally Owned Land with Total Acreage by State” 

in 2001. 

Table 1-4, Public Lands Under Exclusive Jurisdiction of the BLM, contains summary data of public lands 

in each State that are currently under the administrative jurisdiction of the BLM. By law, the States of 

Maryland, Texas, and Virginia are not public land States. By virtue of the Articles of Confederation and 

later the Constitution, the States of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia retained control of their 

public lands when they entered the Union. When the State of Texas entered the Union by a joint 

resolution of Congress, it was allowed to retain control of its public lands. The BLM acquired the 548 

acres of lands in Maryland and 805 acres of land in Virginia in separate acquisitions under Sec. 205 of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1715, as amended. The BLM also acquired 

11,833 acres of land in the State of Texas by Secretarial Order 3198 dated March 12, 1996. 

Table 1-5, Area of Oregon and California (O&C) Revested Lands, depicts data on revested (Oregon & 

California Railroad) lands and reconveyed (Coos Bay Wagon Road Company) lands. These lands are 

administered under the Oregon and California Revested Lands Sustained Yield Management Act of 

August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 874), as amended by the Act of June 24, 1954 (68 Stat. 271). 

Table 1-6, Withdrawals, Revocations, Modifications, and Extensions, presents a compilation of 

withdrawals, revocations, modifications, and extensions administratively made by the Secretary of the 

Interior. These withdrawals are for a specific duration that can vary from less than 1 year to as many as 

50 years, with a provision for extension if the withdrawal is still needed. 

Table 1-7, Cadastral Survey Actions Completed, contains a summary of cadastral surveys completed on 

public lands managed by the BLM during the past year. In order to effectively manage the public lands, 

areas must be identified both by graphic representation and by monumentation on the ground. This is 

accomplished by cadastral surveys, an exclusive and significant responsibility of the BLM. Cadastral 

surveys create and establish on-the-ground boundaries of public land subdivisions in units suitable for 

management and for identification in official field notes and plats. This table also summarizes cadastral 

surveys the BLM has completed on lands managed by other Federal agencies. 

Table 1-8, Obligations of Appropriations Received, contains a summary of obligations of appropriations 

made to the BLM during Fiscal Year 2009, as well as a summary of obligations of appropriations 

transferred from other bureaus and agencies to the BLM. This table summarizes all funds that were 

obligated to manage the BLM’s lands and assist other agencies.

 Table 1-8. OBLIGATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS RECEIVED, 

 FISCAL YEAR 2009–continued 

/a/ In Fiscal Year 2009, Assistance Agreements (AA) project obligations decreased nearly $100 million. 

In addition, BLM posted $36 million of deobligations. This was partially offset by an upward trend 

in delivered orders. 

/b/ Public Law 111-5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), authorizes 

the BLM to expend $180 million on all BLM lands including construction, reconstruction, 

decommissioning, and repair of roads, bridges, trails, property, facilities, and for energy efficient 

retrofits of existing facilities. 

/c/ Public Law 109-58, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, established the Energy Act Funds as follows: 

Subtitle F, Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing and Permitting Practices; Subtitle D, Transfer of 

Administrative Jurisdiction and Environmental Remediation of Naval Petroleum Reserve 

Numbered 2, in Kern County, California, to the Secretary of the Interior; and Subtitle B, 

 Geothermal Energy. 

/d/ Public Law 111-5, ARRA, authorizes the BLM to expend $125 million on all BLM lands 

including maintenance, rehabilitation, and restoration of facilities, property, trails, and lands, 

and for remediation of abandoned mines and wells. 

/e/ Public Law 106-248, Section 202, the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act, authorizes the 

BLM to sell land identified for disposition under its land use planning process and to exchange 

Federal land for non-Federal land if the exchange would be in the public interest. 

/f/ Funded from recreation fees and demonstration site collections to support public lands and 

recreation. Other recreation obligations are included in Management of Lands and Resources. 

/g/ Public Law 106-298, the Lincoln County Land Act, authorizes the gross proceeds of sales of land 

to be distributed as follows: 5 percent for general education in the State of Nevada and Lincoln 

County; 10 percent for normal county budgeting procedures, with emphasis given to schools; and 

85 percent of collections and the subsequent interest from investment for retention by the BLM and 

any other participating agencies. 

/h/ Department of the Interior's Office of the Secretary replaced the BLM as the Parent reporting entity. 

/i/ The Fiscal Year 2003 Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Public Law 108-7), Section 323, amended 

Section 347 of the Fiscal Year 1999 Appropriation Omnibus (Public Law 105-277), that originally 

granted the USDA Forest Service pilot stewardship contracting authority. It states, “Until 

September 30, 2013, the USDA Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, via agreement 

or contract as appropriate, may enter into stewardship contracting projects with private persons or 

other public or private entities to perform services to achieve land management goals for the national 

forests and the public lands that meet local and rural community needs.” 

/j/ Significant additional work within this fund began in Fiscal Year 2008, but there was little additional 

work in Fiscal Year 2009.

/k/ Department of the Interior's (DOI) Office of the Secretary replaced the BLM as the Parent reporting 

entity. BLM is now a Child reporting entity; it is a receiver of appropriations transferred from the 

DOI Office of the Secretary. Therefore, the BLM now reports its Federal firefighting obligations in the 

“Obligation of Appropriations Transferred from Other Bureaus and Agencies to the Bureau of Land 

 Management” section. 

/l/ Used for highway repairs and emergency road maintenance. 

/m/ Public Law 111-5, ARRA, authorizes the BLM to receive appropriation transfers to expend for 

“Wildland Fire Management” for hazardous fuels reduction.

PART 2 

HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE LANDS 

Public lands are healthy and productive when the natural processes that keep them functioning are intact 

and self-sustaining. Healthy, productive public lands are a product of careful management in the form of 

resource conservation, restoration, and use. 

In support of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) mission of sustaining health, diversity, and 

productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations, a variety of 

interrelated programs carry out projects in a coordinated manner to support healthy, productive lands and 

the processes that maintain them over time. 

Keeping landscapes and habitats healthy and productive requires coordination across programs within the 

BLM, as well as with partner agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and members of the public. The 

activities and conditions reported below contribute to the BLM’s goal for healthy, productive lands. 

Table 2-1, Percentage of Rangeland Acreage by Ecological Status by State, provides a summary of the 

ecological site inventories conducted by the BLM over the years. This table is updated annually to reflect 

new inventory work and changes in the ecological status. Ecological site inventories provide land 

managers with useful information for determining site capability and for assessing the implementation of 

land use plans and achievement of resource management objectives. 

Table 2-2, Condition of Riparian-Wetland Areas, was first reported in Public Land Statistics in 1995. 

While riparian-wetland areas comprise a small percentage of the public lands administered by the BLM, 

their benefits far exceed their relatively small acreage. To manage these areas on a watershed basis, the 

BLM, along with the USDA Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), has 

initiated the Accelerating Cooperative Riparian Restoration and Management strategy to restore and 

maintain these areas in proper functioning condition. A riparian-wetland area is considered to be 

functioning properly when adequate vegetation, landform, or large woody debris is present to dissipate 

energies associated with high-flow events. 

Table 2-3, Resource Conservation and Improvement Accomplishments, is a summary of the many 

conservation, rehabilitation, and development projects completed on BLM public lands during the past 

year. These projects stabilize soils, maintain or improve water quality, reduce siltation and salinity, 

reduce surface runoff, and control flooding. They also assist in improving ecologic site condition, 

promoting healthy riparian areas and wetlands, and enhancing overall rangeland health. 

Table 2-4, Forest Development Accomplishments in Acres, describes the numerous reforestation and 

improvement projects completed during Fiscal Year 2009 for restoring forest health conditions on the 

BLM public lands. 

Table 2-5, Types of Wildlife Habitat on Public Lands in the Conterminous 48 States, describes the 

various types of wildlife habitats that exist on BLM-administered lands in the conterminous 48 states. 

These lands offer important feeding, roosting, breeding, nesting, and refuge areas for a wide variety of 

wildlife across the western United States. For purposes of this table, the term habitat represents selected 

major land cover types (plant communities) of the 2001 National Land Cover Database for the United 

States. 

P00000021090

Case 6:15-cv-01517-AA Document 299-44 Filed 06/28/18 Page 48 of 275
Table 2-6, Types of Wildlife Habitat on Public Lands in Alaska, describes the various types of wildlife 

habitat on BLM-administered lands in Alaska. These lands offer important feeding, roosting, breeding, 

nesting, and refuge areas for a wide variety of wildlife across Alaska. For purposes of this table, the term 

habitat represents selected major land cover types (plant communities) of the 2001 National Land Cover 

Database for the United States. 

Table 2-7, Fish, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation Activities Completed, portrays a wide variety of 

activities and projects undertaken to conserve fish, wildlife, and plants on public lands. Most of the 

conservation efforts are accomplished in cooperation with State fish and wildlife agencies, Federal 

agencies, conservation groups, and a variety of public and private partners. 

Table 2-8, Emergency Fire Stabilization and Rehabilitation Projects, displays the BLM’s fire 

rehabilitation projects to stabilize soils and restore watersheds following wildfires. Fire rehabilitation 

actions are necessary to prevent unacceptable resource degradation, minimize threats to public health and 

safety, prevent unacceptable off-site damage, and minimize the potential for the recurrence of wildfire. 

The number and acreage of fire rehabilitation projects vary yearly, depending on the severity of the 

wildfire season occurring on BLM-managed public lands.

Table 2-2. CONDITION OF RIPARIAN-WETLAND AREAS, 

FISCAL YEAR 2009–concluded 

Note: Totals for the columns may not appear to be correct because the percentages are rounded 

to the nearest whole number. 

/a/ Riparian areas are green zones along flowing water habitats such as rivers, streams, and creeks 

(referred to as lotic habitat areas), and are reported in miles. 

/b/ Riparian and wetland areas are functioning properly when adequate vegetation, landform, or large 

woody debris is present to dissipate energy associated with high-flow events. 

/c/ “Functioning-At-Risk” areas are functioning, but an existing soil, water, or vegetation attribute 

makes them susceptible to degradation. The trend is an assessment of apparent direction of 

change in conditions either toward or away from site stability. Trend is determined by comparing 

the present condition with previous photos; by utilizing trend studies, inventories, or other 

documentation; or by using professional knowledge, judgment, and experience. The lack of 

historical information on the condition of a site may lead to a “trend not apparent” assessment. 

/d/ “Nonfunctional” areas do not contain sufficient vegetation, landform, or large woody debris to 

dissipate energies associated with high-flow events. 

/e/ “Unknown” areas have not been assessed by the BLM. In Oregon these areas added in 2009 lie 

within the Northwest Forest Plan and are subject to intensive standards and guidelines (S&Gs) 

under the aquatic conservation strategy. A method is being explored to cross-walk existing 

Habitat, Water Quality, and prior Management data, along with the appropriate S&Gs to 

determine a PFC rating. 

/f/ “Total” miles and acres have changed in 2009 for two reasons. First, much of the Oregon 

Westside information was excluded in prior reports (refer to footnote /e/); and second, the 

accuracy of riparian information improves when Geographic Information System (GIS) 

inventories are updated. 

/g/ Wetland areas are standing water habitats such as bogs, marshes, wet meadows, and estuaries 

(referred to as lentic habitat areas), and are reported in acres.

PART 3 

COMMERCIAL USES AND REVENUES GENERATED 

The demands being placed on the public lands are growing in tandem with the number and diversity of people 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) serves. The BLM’s ability to meet these new demands will depend 

on improving its accountability to users of the public lands, while emphasizing the responsibility of these users 

to adhere to an ethic that is sensitive to the land’s health and responsive to the public’s right to receive fair 

value in return. 

The BLM historically has made land available for authorized private sector activities, such as recreation, 

energy and mineral commodity extraction, livestock forage use, sawtimber harvest, and other related land use 

authorizations and land dispositions, and will continue to do so. The BLM strives to ensure that taxpayers 

receive a fair return from such transactions, consistent with existing laws. The BLM also strives to ensure that 

adverse effects on the land, to other users and the American public are minimized to prevent long-term 

environmental impairment or the creation of unfunded taxpayer liabilities. 

The BLM administers about 249.7 million surface acres of public land, about one-eighth of the land in the 

United States, and approximately 700 million acres of on-shore Federal mineral estate on or underlying both 

Federal surface ownerships and privately owned lands. The BLM also provides technical supervision of 

mineral development and cadastral (land) survey on 56 million acres of American Indian trust lands. 

The following tables show the essential outputs of various interrelated programs that provide commercial uses 

as shown in Tables 3-1 through 3-24. Tables 3-25 through 3-32 display outcome-oriented information in 

terms of receipts or payments and the allocation of funds generated from commercial use activities on public 

lands. Table 3-33 presents a financial update for the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, whereas 

Table 3-34 presents information on the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act. 

Please note that only receipts and payments collected by the BLM are listed. For revenues derived from BLM 

energy and mineral activities, refer to Mineral Revenues in the Annual Report of the Minerals Management 

Service (MMS), a Department of the Interior agency. The onshore Federal mineral revenues generated by the 

BLM and collected by the MMS, including royalties, rents, and bonus bids, totaled $3,685 million for 

Fiscal Year 2009. Mineral operations on American Indian trust lands generated $400 million in revenue for 

Indian mineral owners. 

Federal Coal Leases, Compliance with Diligent Development, and Continued Operation 

Table 3-35, Federal Coal Leases, Compliance with Diligent Development, and Continued Operation, was 

added as of 2007. The Mineral Leasing Act, as amended, requires that a Federal coal lease be diligently 

developed by producing coal within 10 years after lease issuance (30 U.S.C. 207(a)). Failure to meet the 

diligent development requirement will result in the termination of the Federal coal lease. After the Federal 

coal lease has initially produced coal, it must be maintained in continued operation unless interrupted by 

strikes, the elements, or casualties that are beyond the control of the lessee (30 U.S.C. 207(b)). Through 

regulation (43 CFR 3483), the BLM has established that the continued operation requirement can be met by 

production from the lease itself, by production from a Logical Mining Unit that is authorized by the BLM and 

that contains the Federal coal lease, by payment of advance royalty in lieu of continued operation 

(30 U.S.C. 207(b)), by suspension of the lease, or continued operation is no longer required because all 

recoverable coal on the lease has been mined. The table provides a summary of the status of all Federal coal 

leases concerning the diligent development and continued operation requirements at the end of 

Fiscal Year 2009. This information will aid response to future inquiries about the number of producing 

Federal coal leases.

Note: Purchase money includes all revenues collected by the BLM during the reporting fiscal year from 

all ongoing cases leading to patent; however, this money is not always received in the same fiscal 

year the patent is issued. Purchase money is not always deposited in the appropriate depository 

(bank) in the same fiscal year the money is collected. Purchase money enters into the land 

exchange process because exchanges must result in equal value given and received by both 

parties; this means that purchase money (equalization payments) is sometimes collected from the 

proponent or paid by the BLM to ensure an equitable exchange. 

/a/ Exchanges pursuant to Section 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 

1976 (Public Law 94-579; 90 Stat. 2756). Purchase money (cash equalization payment) received 

from these exchanges is not subject to Title II of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act 

(FLTFA) of 2000 (Public Law 106-248; 114 Stat. 613). See Table 5-8a and Table 5-8b—Land

Settlement Act (ANCSA) of December 18, 1971 (43 U.S.C. 1601), as amended, whether by 

tentative approval, interim conveyance, or patent, whichever occurs first. 

Tentative Approvals (TA): Conveyance granting to the State of Alaska legal title to unsurveyed 

lands and containing all the reservations for easements, rights-of-way, or other interests in land 

provided by the act or imposed on the land by applicable law, subject only to confirmation of the 

boundary descriptions after approval of the survey of the conveyed land. 

Interim Conveyances (IC): Conveyance granting to the recipient legal title to unsurveyed lands 

and containing all the reservations for easements, rights-of-way, or other interests in land 

provided by the act or imposed on the land by applicable law, subject only to confirmation of the 

boundary descriptions after approval of the survey of the conveyed land. 

Certificates of Allotment (COA): Document that passes title for Native allotments. These are 

issued in a restricted status. The BLM issues the COA to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), 

which holds the title in trust for the allottee. While the allotment title is held in trust status, the 

lands are inalienable, meaning that they cannot be seized for debt and are not subject to taxation. 

They also cannot be sold or encumbered without BIA approval.

Table 3-18. FEDERAL COAL LEASES, LICENSES, PREFERENCE 

RIGHT LEASE APPLICATIONS, AND LOGICAL MINING 

 UNITS, FISCAL YEAR 2009–concluded 

Note: The totals for the columns may not appear to be correct because the numbers were rounded after 

addition. 

Statistics concerning Federal coal lease diligent development and continued operation are shown 

in Table 3-35. 

/a/ Authorized leases and licenses are shown, along with those logical mining units (LMUs) that 

were approved as of September 30, 2009. Totals include actions during the fiscal year as shown 

in the three right-hand columns. New actions (Actions During Fiscal Year) show the number of 

leases, licenses, and permits authorized and LMUs actions approved with an effective date during 

the fiscal year. Actions approved during the fiscal year that reduced the quantity or acreage of 

leases, licenses, or LMUs are shown in parentheses. Pending preference right lease applications 

are also shown. Acreage totals may differ slightly from other data sources because of the 

rounding methods used. 

/b/ An increase in acreage for Fiscal Year 2009, without an additional lease or LMUs, reflects 

completion of a modification of an existing lease or LMU. The total bonus bid for the lease 

modification is shown. 

/c/ Values reflect the issuance of new Federal coal leases or LMUs during Fiscal Year 2009. These 

leases have been offered for lease through a competitive sale process. The total bonus bid for the 

lease is shown. 

/d/ The value reflects a partial or full termination, cancellation, or relinquishment of a lease, license, 

or LMU that was completed during Fiscal Year 2009 and is reflected by a decrease in the lease, 

license, or LMU acreage and quantity. 

/e/ Corrects a coding error reported in Fiscal Year 2008. 

N/A = Not applicable.

Table 3-19. OTHER SOLID MINERAL LEASES, LICENSES, PERMITS, 

AND PREFERENCE RIGHT LEASE APPLICATIONS, 

FISCAL YEAR 2009–concluded 

Note: Some sections of this table that appeared in last year’s Public Land Statistics 2008 do not appear this 

year because no permits, leases, licenses, or applications were authorized for those sections. 

/a/ The first two columns of this table include authorized leases, licenses, and permits, and pending 

preference right lease applications. The last three columns include new actions during the fiscal year. 

New actions that increase numbers and acreage, such as leases, licenses, and permits authorized with 

effective dates during the fiscal year are shown without parentheses. New actions that decrease 

numbers and acreage, such as lease, license, or permit terminations, expirations, relinquishments, or 

cancellations, are in parentheses, and the totals are an arithmetic sum of the increases and decreases. 

/b/ Lease modifications result in a change in acreage, but no change in the corresponding number of 

leases. 

/c/ These mineral leases were acquired from the State of Utah. They were issued under the rules of the 

State of Utah, so they are not Federal leases. 

/d/ The research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) oil shale leases have terms and conditions 

that if met may allow them a preference to additional identified acres for commercial development. 

/e/ Hardrock-Acquired Lands leases, lease applications, and permits include bentonite, calcium, chromite, 

clay, cobalt, corundum, copper, fluorite, galena, garnet, gold, iron, jade, jadite, lead, limestone, 

nephrite, nickel, platinum, olivine, quartz crystals, semi-precious gemstones, silicates, silicon, silver, 

sphalerite, titanium, tripoli, tungsten, vermiculite, zinc, or other minerals. 

N/A = Not applicable.

PART 4 

RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES 

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) outdoor recreation program is aimed at sustaining healthy land 

and water resources while promoting appropriate and responsible visitor use of those lands and waters. 

The BLM provides recreational opportunities in a variety of settings that typify the vast and diverse 

landscapes of the Western States from the tundra in Alaska to the deserts of the Southwest, and from the oldgrowth forests of the Northwest to the plateaus and plains of the Rocky Mountain States. In addition, in the 

Eastern States, the BLM provides recreational opportunities in settings such as the Meadowood Special 

Recreation Management Area (SRMA) in Virginia. Many BLM areas have been recognized by the BLM, 

Congress, or the President and have been given special designations (as detailed in Part 5—Natural and 

Cultural Heritage Preservation) to protect the unique and sensitive values of each area. 

As a national provider of recreational opportunities, the BLM focuses on its primary niche: providing 

resource-based recreation and tourism opportunities. Visitors’ freedom to pursue unstructured recreational 

opportunities is promoted as long as they accept the responsibility to use public lands wisely and to respect 

other public land users. Responsible use is encouraged by the BLM and its partners through land use ethics 

programs such as Tread Lightly! and Leave No Trace! 

Recreation sites, information and interpretative sites, trails, staging areas, and similar places are also provided 

on some BLM public lands to protect resources and to help visitors have quality recreational experiences. At 

many sites and areas, fees are charged to provide for maintenance and improvement. At other sites, generally 

those public lands without visitor accommodations, no fees are charged. Most recreational use on public lands 

occurs in nonfee areas. Whether the visitor chooses highly developed recreation fee sites or remote wilderness 

areas where neither fees nor registration is required, the BLM relies heavily on public land users to protect the 

land, water, and structures so that the next person can also have a quality experience. Because some visitors 

are unfamiliar with outdoor skills or wish to utilize public lands for events, the BLM issues special recreation 

permits to qualified commercial companies to guide visitors on public lands. Special recreation permits are 

also issued to competitive event organizers and other organized groups to conduct their activities on public 

lands. 

The information in the following tables is intended to provide an overview of recreational use and 

opportunities on public lands. BLM offices are responsible for collecting and maintaining various data relating 

to the recreation program. These field-level data are then aggregated in the BLM’s Recreation Management 

Information System (RMIS) database. Tables 4-1 through 4-3 summarize recreation data from RMIS and 

revenue data from the BLM’s Collections and Billings System (CBS). Table 4-1 presents the estimated visitor 

use data by State; Table 4-2 presents visitor use data by recreational activity at fee and nonfee areas, including 

areas leased to private and public providers; and Table 4-3 presents reported revenues by State and type of 

authorization. These tables present a picture of the amount and types of recreational activities on public lands 

geographically for recreation sites and dispersed areas, and for both fee and nonfee areas. 

In addition, special reports have been prepared to analyze the primary and secondary benefits of fish and 

wildlife on public lands. Primary benefits include both consumptive (hunting and fishing) and 

nonconsumptive (wildlife viewing) recreational use. These activities produce secondary benefits to local 

community businesses from equipment sales, services, food, lodging, and transportation, as well as to State 

wildlife agencies that manage the animal populations. These benefits related to fish and wildlife, based on U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service studies, are derived for BLM lands from Geographic Information System (GIS) 

analysis and are portrayed in Tables 4-4 through 4-6. Table 4-4 presents estimated fishing and related 

expenditures data by State; Table 4-5 presents the estimated hunting and related expenditures data by State; 

and Table 4-6 presents estimated wildlife viewing and related expenditures data by State.

PART 5 

NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION 

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands encompass some of the last, great open spaces in 

the United States. They contain exceptional geologic formations; comparatively undisturbed native plant 

and animal communities; wilderness areas and wild and scenic rivers; and innumerable paleontological, 

archaeological, and historical sites. These resources are scientifically, ecologically, culturally, 

educationally, and recreationally important, representing a significant part of this Nation's natural and 

cultural heritage. 

Congress has passed a variety of laws concerning the management and use of these heritage resources, 

including the Antiquities Act (1906), the Wilderness Act (1964), the National Historic Preservation Act 

(1966), the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (1968), the Sikes Act (1974), the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act (1976), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (1979), the Native American 

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (1990), and the Omnibus Public Land Management Act (2009). 

Many of these laws establish procedures for formally recognizing areas that are unique or that contain 

significant scientific, educational, and recreational values. Some of these designations, including 

National Conservation Areas and National Monuments, require Congressional or Presidential action. 

Others, such as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs), are BLM designations established 

through land use planning or other administrative procedures. Over the past 30 years, beginning with the 

designation of the King Range National Conservation Area, many extraordinary landscapes on our public 

lands have been given protective designations either by an Act of Congress or by Presidential 

Proclamation. 

National Landscape Conservation System 

The BLM established the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) to provide a national 

framework for managing special areas on the public lands designated by Congress or the President. 

In 2009, Congress formally established the National Landscape Conservation System with the passage of 

the Omnibus Public Land Management Act. This system includes all of the BLM’s National 

Conservation Areas and similar designations, Wilderness, National Historic and Scenic Trails, Wild and 

Scenic Rivers, National Monuments, Wilderness Study Areas, and Conservation Lands of the California 

Desert. Taken together, there are more than 886 BLM units encompassing more than 27 million acres of 

public land. 

This system is a new model of conservation. Most visitor facilities are located in adjacent communities, 

providing local economic opportunities and minimizing new development in the special areas. Many 

traditional public land uses, such as livestock grazing, are permitted in these areas, and adjacent 

communities and interested public entities are encouraged to participate in the planning process and 

ongoing management activities. 

The following tables provide statistics for the conservation units included in the NLCS:

Administrative Natural and Cultural Heritage Designations 

On all of America’s public lands, the BLM, in addition to assuming the responsibilities previously noted, 

works to preserve and protect threatened and endangered species; wild free-roaming horses and burros; 

significant archaeological, paleontological, and historical sites; areas of critical environmental concern; 

and other outstanding natural areas. Some of those responsibilities are portrayed in the following tables. 

Tables 5-8a, b, and c. Land acquisition through exchange, purchase, easement, or donation pursuant to 

Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (Public 

Law 94-579; 90 Stat. 2756), and various Acts of Congress is an important component of the BLM’s land 

management strategy. The BLM acquires land and easements in land when it is in the public interest and 

consistent with publicly approved land use plans. The BLM's land acquisition program is designed to 

improve management of natural resources by consolidating Federal, State, and private lands; to increase 

recreational opportunities and preserve open space; to secure key property necessary to protect 

endangered species and promote biological diversity; and to preserve archaeological and historical 

resources. 

Table 5-9. The BLM, other Federal agencies, and local governments in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine 

Counties as well as portions of Washoe County and Carson City, Nevada, use 85 percent of the revenue 

generated by land sales under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) of 1998 for 

parks, trails, and natural areas; capital improvements; conservation initiatives; a multispecies habitat 

conservation plan for Clark County, Nevada; environmentally sensitive land acquisitions; hazardous fuels 

reduction and wildfire prevention; Eastern Nevada landscape restoration projects; and Lake Tahoe 

restoration projects. Table 5-9 shows specific acquisitions, accomplishments, and funding levels. For 

additional information, visit the SNPLMA Web site at http://www.blm.gov/snplma. 

Table 5-10. The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (Public Law 105-263) became law in 

October 1998. The Act provides for the orderly disposal of certain Federal land in Clark County, Nevada, 

and for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the State of Nevada. This table illustrates the 

number of acres sold and the number of acres acquired as a metric of the program’s success. 

Tables 5-12 and 5-13. The BLM administers the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, which 

provides for the protection, management, and control of wild horses and burros on the public lands. A 

major responsibility under the Act is to preserve a thriving natural ecological balance on the range. To do 

so, it is necessary to remove excess wild horses and burros, which are then offered to the general public 

through the adoption program. Tables 5-12 and 5-13 portray wild horse and burro populations, removals, 

and adoptions. 

Table 5-14. The BLM is steward for the Federal Government's largest, most culturally diverse, and most 

scientifically important body of cultural resources. To carry out this stewardship responsibility, the 

BLM’s cultural resource management program is designed to inventory, evaluate, and manage cultural 

and paleontological resources on public lands under its jurisdiction. The BLM has inventoried more than 

19.4 million acres for cultural resources and has recorded more than 306,399 properties. 

Tables 5-15 and 5-16. The BLM provides special management prescriptions for public lands under a 

variety of special designations such as Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, Research Natural Areas, 

and National Natural Landmarks. Table 5-15 lists the present Areas of Critical Environmental Concern 

managed by the BLM. Table 5-16 lists numerous types of areas on the public lands having Special 

Management designations that are not encompassed by the NLCS.

Note: The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) (Public Law 105-263) became 

law in October 1998. The Act provides for the disposal of public land within a specific area in 

the Las Vegas Valley and creates a Special Account into which 85 percent of the revenue 

generated by land sales is deposited. Of the remaining 15 percent, 5 percent goes to the State of 

Nevada general education program and 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority 

for water treatment and transmission infrastructure. The Special Account is not allocated as part 

of the Federal budget process, so any revenue in the account remains available until expended. 

Special Account revenue finances public projects in several categories described in footnote /a/. 

/a/ Allowable expenditures under the SNPLMA Special Account include the following: 

•	 Acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in Nevada, with priority given to lands in 

Clark County.

PART 6 

PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND RESOURCE PROTECTION 

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) stewardship role, which includes preserving and protecting 

natural and cultural resources, also extends to protecting public health, safety, and property. The BLM is 

responsible for reducing health and safety risks to employees and the public; maintaining facilities and 

infrastructure; and protecting public lands from illegal dumping of wastes, theft and destruction of 

Federal property, misuse of resources, and wildland fires. 

Table 6-1 summarizes the number of wildland fires and the acres burned during the Fiscal Year 2009 fire 

season on lands protected by the BLM or lands protected under cooperative agreements between the BLM 

and local fire agencies. 

Nationally, 2009, much like 2008 had been, was a departure from the intense fire seasons the Nation 

experienced in 2006 and 2007. The total acres burned by wildland fires in 2009, although up from the 

previous year, remained below the 10-year average. BLM acres-burned amounted to just 241,956 in 

2009, slightly more than burned in 2008. Acres burned on non-BLM land (fires which started on BLM 

lands but burned onto adjacent lands) amounted to 1,072,215 acres, up from 640,671 acres the previous 

year. The large majority of BLM fires occurred on non-forested brush lands. 

BLM and BLM-protected lands in Alaska were hardest hit in 2009, with 766,956 acres in these categories 

burned in wildland fires. Some of this high acreage can be attributed to new management strategies 

where some fires are managed to achieve natural resource benefits with limited suppression action except 

when lives or property are threatened. With the exception of Alaska, most lower-48 States experienced 

relatively quiet fire seasons, with New Mexico, California, and Utah having the most acres burned at 

170,878 acres, 132,470 acres, and 78,350 acres, respectively. Nationally, except for Alaska, fire 

occurrence was down largely because of fewer dry lightning storms and moister fuels. 

Table 6-2 identifies the major type of capital improvements that support the management, use, and 

enjoyment of the public lands for commercial, recreational, and other purposes. The trend has been for 

the BLM’s inventory of fixed capital assets (buildings, roads, recreation sites, etc.) to increase over time. 

However, as the BLM implements its new Asset Management Plan (AMP), which was developed in 

2006, it will begin compiling a list of real property assets that are candidates for disposition. Any asset 

that is no longer critical to the mission, or that is in such poor condition that it is no longer cost-effective 

to maintain, will be identified for possible disposal. The AMP provides the framework for the BLM to 

streamline its portfolio of assets and optimize the maintenance of those assets that contribute most 

significantly to the BLM’s mission and strategic goals. 

Table 6-3 summarizes the releases of hazardous substances and other pollutants and contaminants 

discovered on public lands. Historically, approximately 60 percent of all hazardous waste sites on public 

lands result from commercial uses. Landfills, mines and mill sites, airstrips, and oil and gas sites account 

for almost half of these commercial activities. The other 40 percent have been caused by illegal activities, 

such as midnight dumping of agricultural and industrial wastes, wire burning, and illicit drug production. 

In recent years, about 90 percent of the hazardous substance releases found on public lands resulted from 

illegal dumping incidents involving debris or drums of biomedical, chemical, and petroleum wastes; 

pesticides; paints; batteries; asbestos; and illicit drug lab wastes. The remaining 10 percent of the 

hazardous substance releases came from fuel spills, mining wastes, and military accidents. The number 

of drug labs has essentially leveled off and even decreased due to enforcement actions taken by both State 

and Federal law enforcement agencies. However, highly toxic and explosive drug lab wastes continue to 

be found far afield of the more expected urban locations and in regions not previously plagued by this 

problem until the last few years.

vegetation dependent on free water in the soil. Riparian areas may constitute less than 1 percent of the 

land area in the western part of the United States, but they are among the most productive and valuable of 

all lands.
