WELCOME TO PUBLIC LAND STATISTICS 2012

Welcome to the 2012 edition of 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. Inholdings 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 2012 Public Land Statistics tables may not exactly match data in other 

BLM publications covering Fiscal Year 2012 operations and accomplishments. Such discrepancies occur 

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. 

Public Land Statistics is available on the Internet. Please visit our national homepage at:

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 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. FLPMA

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 247.3 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 used in a manner 

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

Table 1-1, Acquisition of the Public Domain, 1781–1867, 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, Indiana, Iowa, 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, 1781–2012, 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 with respect to the State of Alaska, are 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. 

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 State 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 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. To manage the public lands effectively, the BLM 

must identify areas 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 that 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 2012 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.

Note: Data are estimated from available records. The acreage data consist of cumulative totals from the 

year 1781 to the current fiscal year. 

 

Public land States consist of the States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, 

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

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

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

/a/ Chiefly public, private, and preemption sales, but includes mineral entries, scrip locations, and 

sales of townsites and townlots.

/b/ The homestead laws generally provided for the granting of lands to homesteaders who settled 

upon and improved vacant agricultural public lands. Payment for the lands was sometimes 

permitted, or required, under certain conditions. The homestead laws were repealed by the 

Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976, as amended (Public Law 94-579; 

90 Stat. 2743; U.S.C. 1701). 

/c/ Universities, hospitals, asylums, etc.

/d/ For construction of various public improvements (individual items not specified in the granting 

acts), reclamation of desert lands, construction of water reservoirs, etc.

/e/ The Government has confirmed title to lands claimed under valid grants made by foreign 

governments prior to the acquisition of the public domain by the United States. 

/f/ The timber and stone laws provided for the sale of lands valuable for timber or stone and unfit for 

cultivation. 

/g/ The timber culture laws provided for the granting of public lands to settlers if they planted and 

cultivated trees on the lands granted. Payments for the lands were permitted under certain 

conditions. 

/h/ The desert land laws provided for the sale of arid agricultural public lands to settlers who 

irrigated them and brought them under cultivation. Some desert land patents are still being issued 

(refer to Table 3-1, Patents Issued).

/i/ Alaska Statehood Act of July 7, 1958 (72 Stat. 338), as amended. Acreage figures fluctuate 

annually based on survey of previously conveyed acres, new conveyance, corrective documents, 

title recovery, and regular audits of automated data. The figures were compiled in 2011 using 

annual reports from Fiscal Year 1993 through Fiscal Year 2011. 

/j/ Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of December 18, 1971 (43 U.S.C. 1601). Acreage figures 

fluctuate annually based on survey of previously conveyed acres, new conveyance, corrective 

documents, title recovery, and regular audits of automated data. The figures were compiled in

Table 1-3. MINERAL AND SURFACE ACRES ADMINISTERED BY THE 

 BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

Note: This table and the accompanying maps represent 2 years of effort involved in researching, collecting, analyzing, and verifying data from 

numerous sources, and then coordinating and consulting with BLM State staff and other agencies. It presents a “snapshot” of data as of 

1999. Because of the scope and complexity involved in creating and updating this table, and the fact that it is intended to present an 

approximation of the surface and mineral acreages managed by the BLM, yearly updates are not planned.

Estimated acreages were based on various sources of published and unpublished data. The rationale used to develop these data is 

presented in “Public Lands, On-Shore Federal and Indian Minerals in Lands of the U.S.,” prepared by Sie Ling Chiang of BLM’s 

Washington Office in 2000. The first column, Land Total, is taken from Table 1-3, Public Land Statistics 1999, whereas the fifth 

column, BLM Public Lands, comes from Table 1-4, Public Land Statistics 2012.

/a/ The term Federal Minerals refers to on-shore Federal minerals that are part of the BLM’s responsibilities. The on-shore Federal mineral 

acreage approximates the sum of Federal Surface Lands acres and Split-Estate Federal Minerals acres shown in the next two columns. 

As of 1999 the total was approximately 700 million acres. 

/b/ Federal Surface Lands include both the public domain and acquired lands of all Federal agencies. With the exception of an estimated 

4 million acres of the acquired lands, Federal mineral rights exist in all Federal lands.

/c/ The term Split-Estate Federal Minerals refers to Federal mineral rights under private surface lands. These are patented lands with 

minerals reserved to the U.S. Reservations and may be for single, multiple, or all minerals. The 58 million acres is the midpoint of 

estimates ranging from 55 to 60 million acres (provided by the BLM’s Colorado State Office). This results in a significantly lower 

acreage than that shown in Table 3-2; we hope that any future updates will address this inconsistency.

/d/ On these public lands, the BLM manages both surface resources and subsurface minerals. The surface acreage is part of the Federal 

Surface Lands shown in the third column. The subsurface mineral acreage is part of the Federal Mineral estate included in the second 

column. As of 2012 the BLM’s public lands comprise 247.3 million surface acres; refer to Table 1-4, Public Land Statistics 2012. 

/e/ As part of its trust management responsibility, the BLM provides technical supervision of mineral development on 56 million acres of 

American Indian trust lands except for Osage lands. All minerals in Indian trust lands are “leasable.” Acreage information was obtained 

in 1999 from the Real Estate Services staff of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

/f/ Navajo and Hopi oil and gas in Arizona and Utah are managed by New Mexico BLM.

/g/ Ute Mountain oil and gas in New Mexico and Colorado are managed by Colorado BLM.

/h/ The BLM’s Eastern States Office is responsible for Federal minerals in the 31 states east of, or bordering, the Mississippi River.

Note: “Public lands under exclusive jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)” are those lands and interest in lands owned by the 

 United States and administered by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management, without regard to how the 

United States acquired ownership, except (1) lands located on the Outer Continental Shelf, and (2) lands held for the benefit of Indians, 

 Aleuts, and Eskimos (Section 103 (e) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976, as amended (Public Law 94-579; 

 90 Stat. 2743; 43 U.S.C. 1701). 

/a/ Grand Total Fiscal Year 2011: Acreage data from the Fiscal Year 2011 edition of Public Land Statistics.

/b/ Acquisitions (Increase): Lands obtained by the BLM through purchase, donation, condemnation, gift, or exchange.

/c/ Withdrawn-reserved lands administered by another Federal agency that have been restored to the BLM's jurisdiction (Increase): These lands 

were withdrawn or reserved for specific public purposes by an Executive Order, Secretarial Order, Act of Congress, or Public Land Order 

 and were removed from the jurisdiction of the BLM, and placed under the jurisdiction of another Federal agency. The appropriate action has 

been taken, and these lands have now been returned to the jurisdiction of the BLM.

Table 1-4. PUBLIC LANDS UNDER EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, 

 FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

/d/ (Total Increase): Total acres added to the BLM’s jurisdiction (sum of “/b/” and “/c/”).

/e/ Disposals (Decrease): Lands that have been disposed of by the BLM under various public land laws. Disposal may be by a patent (deed) or an 

Act of Congress.

/f/ Withdrawn-reserved lands administered by another Federal agency (Decrease): These lands were withdrawn or reserved and designated

for a specific public purpose by an Executive Order, Secretarial Order, Act of Congress, or Public Land Order and were removed from the 

jurisdiction of the BLM and placed under the jurisdiction of another Federal agency. The lands will remain under the jurisdiction of another 

Federal agency until the appropriate action has been taken to return the lands to the jurisdiction of the BLM.

/g/ (Total Decrease): Total acres removed from the BLM’s jurisdiction (sum of “/e/” and “/f/”).

/h/ (Net Change): Plus or minus change from Fiscal Year 2011 to Fiscal Year 2012 (difference between “Total Increase /d/”, “Total Decrease /g/”,

and “Inventory/Total Increase or Decrease /h/”). Negative numbers in this column are displayed in parentheses.

/i/ Grand Total Acres Fiscal Year 2012: Consists of (1) Vacant Lands (both outside and within grazing districts) that are not withdrawn, reserved, 

appropriated, or set aside for a specific or designated purpose, and opened to some or all of the public land laws. The lands are not covered by 

 any non-Federal right or claim other than permits, leases, rights-of-way, and unopened mining claims; (2) Land Utilization (LU) Project Lands, 

purchased by the Federal Government and administered under Title III of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act and subsequently transferred by 

various Executive Orders between 1949 and 1960 from jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the U.S. Department of the Interior,

 now administered by the Bureau of Land Management; and (3) Withdrawn-Reserved Lands that have been segregated from the operation of some

 or all of the public land laws and designated for specific purposes (e.g., BLM-managed monuments, wilderness, public water reserves, special 

designated areas, etc.).

/j/ This amount represents the Land and Water Conservation Fund cases completed in Fiscal Year 2012 (320 acres) plus acquired land (1,705 acres). 

/k/ This 40 acre increase for Partial Revocation for Power Site Reserve 109, corrects an error from a previous year. 

/l/ This 200 acre decrease corrects an error from 2005. 

/m/ The amount reflects a decrease of 14 acres from Fiscal Year 2011, reported in error.

/a/ These lands are administered by the Bureau of Land Management. They include O&C timber on non-Federal land on 100 acres in 

Clackamas County, 160 acres in Columbia County, and 123 acres in Yamhill County.

/b/ Under the provisions of the Controverted Lands Act of June 24, 1954 (68 Stat. 271), these lands were declared to be revested O&C 

railroad grant lands. They were placed under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture to be administered with National Forest 

lands, with all revenues derived from such lands to be handled in accordance with the provisions of Title II of 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).

/c/ Certain O&C areas were set aside by various acts of Congress to be administered by the Forest Service without losing their O&C identity. 

The lands in Benton, Clackamas, Jackson, and Polk counties are watershed lands, while the land in Josephine County is an administrative 

site.

/a/ Previous legislation expired at the end of Fiscal Year 2011. In Fiscal Year 2012 the U.S. Forest 

Service calculated the payments and provided the BLM with the amount obligated. 

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

Title III, Subtitle D, Naval Petroleum Reserve; Title III, Subtitle F, Access to Federal Lands; and 

Title II, Subtitle B, Geothermal Energy.

/c/ Principal payment of debt of $180,000,000 made to the U.S. Treasury this year. 

/d/ 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. 

/e/ 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. 

/f/ 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. The fund was 

de-authorized in Fiscal Year 2011. 

/g/ 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), which 

originally granted the U.S. Forest Service pilot stewardship contracting authority. It states, “Until 

September 30, 2013, the U.S. 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.” 

/h/ The BLM spent the entire annual budget for Fiscal Year 2012 and the carryover from Fiscal Year 

2011, owing to a heavy increase in fire activity. 

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

/j/ Used to identify potential hazardous waste locations and to restore land and resource health at 

known hazardous waste sites.

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 1995. While 

riparian-wetland areas constitute 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 U.S. 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 this fiscal year 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 2006 National Land Cover Database for the United States. 

P00000023533

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 2006 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.

Note: The BLM’s inventory of the ecological status of rangelands is used to report on the condition of rangelands as mandated in the Public 

Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978. The Total Bureauwide figures represent averages weighted by the individual acreages present 

in each State.

/a/ Expressed in degree of similarity of present vegetation to the potential natural, or climax, plant community: Potential Natural 

Community = 76–100 percent similarity; Late Seral = 51–75 percent similarity; Mid Seral = 26–50 percent similarity; 

Early Seral = 0–25 percent similarity. Owing to rounding, the percentages in these four categories may not add to 100 percent. 

/b/ The percent of each State’s acreage within grazing allotments that has been inventoried using Ecological Site Inventory (ESI) or the 

Soil-Vegetation Inventory Method (changes in total acreage inventoried in Fiscal Year 2012 and changes in the acreage within each State in 

Fiscal Year 2012 may account for slight differences in these percentages as compared with Fiscal Year 2011 data). ESIs are being conducted 

to fill data gaps. This table is updated annually to reflect new data and changes in seral stages. The percentage of acres inventoried in Fiscal 

Year 2012 is less than what was reported before Fiscal Year 2004 because now only the acres actually categorized to seral stage are being 

reported. Acres that could not be categorized to seral stage were reported as Unclassified in reports before Fiscal Year 2004 and are no 

longer being reported in this table.

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

 FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

Note: Totals for the columns may appear to be incorrect 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.

/f/ “Total” miles and acres may show annual variation owing to additional mapping of riparian-wetland 

areas and improving accuracy when Geographic Information System tools are used during field 

inventories. These values will likely continue to change in future years as additional mapping 

becomes available.

/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.

wildlife species. This table accounts for the relationship between wildlife species and their associated habitat (e.g., grassland wildlife

species are generally associated with grassland habitat and plant communities, etc.). For the purposes of this table, the term “habitat” 

represents selected major land cover types (plant communities) reflected in Fry, J. et al., “Completion of the 2006 National Land Cover

 Database for the Conterminous United States,” Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing, vol. 77(9): 858–64. Acres of BLM 

land were newly derived from the Surface Management Agency data compiled at the BLM’s office in Washington, DC (May 2012). Acres 

recently burned were represented in this table in previous years, but were removed this year as these data are represented in Table 6-1.

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 whom 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, 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 247.3 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. Table 3-35 presents information on compliance with diligent development and continued operation 

of Federal coal leases.

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

BLM energy and mineral activities, refer to the Department of the Interior’s, Office of Natural Resources 

Revenue (ONRR) statistical information website. The onshore Federal mineral revenues generated by the 

BLM and collected by the ONRR, including royalties, rents, and bonus bids, totaled $4.4 billion for Fiscal 

Year 2012. Mineral operations on American Indian trust lands generated $701 million in revenue for 

Indian mineral owners.

Table 3-1. PATENTS ISSUED, FISCAL YEAR 2012–continued

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 land 

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

this means that purchase money (equalization payment) 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

/n/ Patent issued subject to Public Law 109-59; Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 

Equity Act; Federal Highways number three conveyance.

/o/ Alaska Conveyances: Transfer of title pursuant to the provisions of the Alaska Native Claims 

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.

/p/ State Selections: Issued to the State of Alaska under the Alaska Statehood Act of July 7, 1958 

(72 Stat. 339), as amended.

/q/ Patented in Fiscal Year 2012, but purchase price was paid years ago. Actual acreage is 9.97 acres.

Table 3-12. FOREST PRODUCTS OFFERED BY STATE, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded 

Note: Some numbers may not add, owing to rounding. 

 1 MBF = one thousand board feet; one board foot measures 1 foot in length by 1 foot in width by 1 inch in thickness. All sawtimber volumes 

listed are in MBF units; however, the contracts may have been offered as MBF, 100 cubic foot units (CCF), or tons, based on local market 

trends, and have been converted to MBF for this table. Conversion factors used were 1 MBF = 1.6 CCF = 6 tons.

This table has been modified to reflect changes in the BLM’s forest management policy. In the past, fuelwood was reported in a single 

column. With the emphasis on biomass (the trees and woody plants, including limbs, tops, needles, leaves, and other woody parts, grown in 

a forest, woodland, or rangeland environment), fuelwood is now reported in GTONS (Green Tons) and added to non-stewardship biomass. 

One cord of fuelwood is equal to 1.7 GTON of biomass. The new column is titled Non-Stewardship Biomass. 

 

/a/ Includes original (parent) sale volume offered and small sales (sawtimber) offered during Fiscal Year 2012; it does not include contract 

modifications that were approved during the fiscal year. These sales were offered using BLM Form 5450-4 (Contract for the Sale of Timber, 

Scale Sale) and Form 5450-3 (Contract for the Sale of Timber, Lump Sum Sale), along with the sawtimber portion of sales offered or 

negotiated using Form 5450-5 (Vegetative or Mineral Material Negotiated Cash Sale Contract) or Form 5450-24 (Forest Products Removal 

Permit and Cash Receipt). It does not include volumes and values associated with the BLM’s stewardship contracting. 

/b/ This column includes volumes that incorporate all other special forest product (SFP) sales converted into MBF for the fiscal year (excluding 

sawtimber and fuelwood), such as fence posts and corral poles.

/c/ This column adds Sawtimber Offered and Other SFP, converted to one common measure (MBF).

/d/ This column includes both biomass and fuelwood sales converted into GTON. Volumes associated with the BLM’s stewardship contracting 

are not included in this column.

/e/ This column is for sawtimber volumes in MBF for contracts offered in the BLM’s stewardship contracts. 

/f/ This column includes both biomass and fuelwood sales converted into GTON offered in the BLM’s stewardship contracts. 

/g/ Eastern Oregon comprises public lands that include, and extend eastward from, Range 9 East, Willamette Meridian, and public lands in the 

State of Washington.

/h/ Western Oregon comprises the revested Oregon and California (O&C) lands, the reconveyed Coos Bay Wagon Road lands, and other public 

lands that include, and extend westward from, Range 8 East, Willamette Meridian.

Note: Owing to the shutdown of the Automated Fluid Minerals Support System (AFMSS) from April 8, 2005, to August 2, 2006, the data from the 

 following databases may be subject to backlog data entry and may not be complete: Vernal, Utah. 

/a/ Data come from the Bureau of Land Management’s Case Recordation System. Since Fiscal Year 2009 the Bureau of Land Management

(BLM) has recategorized data collected for the last two columns of this table. Before Fiscal Year 2009 the displayed data was categorized as 

“producible leases,” which included leases with the status of (1) held by actual production, (2) held by allocated production, and (3) held by 

being located in a producing unit. Since Fiscal Year 2009 the BLM has been reporting the data as “producing leases.” This includes leases 

with the status of (1) held by actual production and (2) held by allocated production. This categorization will conform data reported by the 

BLM and the Office of Natural Resources Revenue for producing leases. 

/b/ Service holes and completions are not necessarily located on producible leases. Data come from AFMSS.

applications are also shown. Acreage totals may differ slightly from other data sources 

because of the rounding methods used. 

/b/ Values reflect a partial relinquishment of a lease, license, or LMU that was completed during 

Fiscal Year 2012 and are reflected by a decrease in the lease, license, or LMU acreage but not the 

quantity of leases or LMUs. 

/c/ Values reflect the issuance of new Federal coal licenses, leases, or LMU during Fiscal Year 2012. 

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

for the lease is shown.

/d/ An increase in acreage for Fiscal Year 2012, without an additional lease or LMU, reflects 

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

modification is shown. 

/e/ Values reflect the termination, cancellation, expiration, or relinquishment of a lease, license, or 

LMU that was completed during Fiscal Year 2012 and are reflected by a decrease in the lease, 

license, or LMU acreage and quantity.

/f/ An increase in the number of leases or LMUs during Fiscal Year 2012, without a corresponding 

increase in total acreage under leases or LMUs, reflects a segregation of an existing lease or LMU 

into two separate leases or LMUs.

/g/ Values reflect a coding correction made in Fiscal Year 2012.

/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 new leases, licenses, and permits 

are shown without parentheses. New actions that decrease numbers and acreage, such as lease, 

license, or permit terminations, expirations, or relinquishments, are in parentheses, and the totals 

are an arithmetic sum of the increases and decreases.

/b/ Acreage revised, with no change in the corresponding number of leases/permits.

/c/ Number of cases revised, with no change in the corresponding acreage of leases/permits.

/d/ 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.

/e/ 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 lands for commercial 

development. 

/f/ “Hardrock” refers to minerals that are locatable under the 1872 Mining Law when they occur on 

public domain lands. These minerals are, however, leasable if they occur on acquired Federal 

land, or within the national forests in Minnesota. These minerals include copper, nickel, lead, 

zinc, cadmium, cobalt, gold, silver, garnet, uncommon-variety limestone or clay, platinum, 

palladium, quartz crystals, semiprecious gemstones, uranium, or other minerals.

Note: The column titled “Active Claims at Year End” is derived from the summation of those mining claims and sites that are held 

under First Half of the Mineral Entry Final Certificate (FHFC), those for which the required annual maintenance fee payment 

was made, and those that are held under a waiver from the payment of the annual maintenance fees. Therefore, Active Claims 

at Year End cannot be derived mathematically from the table data presented. Additionally, the number of claims in this 

column may increase, as some of the States are still in the process of updating the automated database with annual 

maintenance fee payments and waiver information.

Note: All receipts are in thousands of dollars; all helium volumes are in million cubic feet (14.65 pounds-force per square inch absolute [psia] 

 and 60 degrees F.); all natural gas/liquids volumes are in thousand decatherms (14.73 psia and 60 degrees F.). BLM operating expenses for 

 the Federal Helium Program are deducted from revenues. All operations are financed through nonappropriated funds. 

/a/ Figures represent in-kind helium sales plus open-market sales of helium. Fiscal Year 2012 open market sales of helium were 2,100 million 

 cubic feet with sales receipts of $159,075,000, whereas in-kind sales were 153 million cubic feet with sales receipts of $10,332,184. 

/b/ This is the balance of private helium remaining in storage at the end of each fiscal year. Depending on helium demand, this volume can 

 increase or decrease. Government helium in storage as of the end of September 2012 was 11.4 billion cubic feet.

/c/ The storage contracts provide for the collection of contract fees, pipeline connect fees, and reservoir management fees based on stored

 volumes and the storage activity conducted by the contract holder. The transportation and storage of private company helium serves as a 

 method of providing an adequate supply of crude helium to the private helium purification plants. 

/d/ Volumes reported are based upon helium contained in gross gas handled and represents only estimates of the volumes of helium sold from 

 Federal land.

/e/ Includes revenues for Federal helium produced in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Volumes reported do not 

 correlate directly to revenues. Revenues are based on value received and volume of helium extracted.

/f/ Figures represent sales of natural gas plus natural gas liquids (NGL) sales. The Fiscal Year 2012 Volume Sold and Sales Receipts shown

 are the latest available and are estimates.

Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) of October 19, 1998, amounted to $842,271, which includes direct payments at time of sale 

by the purchaser to State and local governments. There were no land sales for Lincoln County in Fiscal Year 2012; therefore, there was no 

allocation from the Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 2000. The remainder of the allocation is from sales of 

public domain lands and materials.

Table 3-30. PAYMENTS TO STATES (INCLUDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS) 

AND TERRITORIES, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

Note: This table is based on amounts actually paid in Fiscal Year 2012. By contrast, Table 3-28, Allocation of Receipts to States and 

Local Governments by Program, and Table 3-29, Allocation of Receipts by Source and Fund, show how receipts for Fiscal 

Year 2012 (October 2011 through September 2012) have been allocated; these amounts will actually be paid in Fiscal 

Year 2013.

/a/ Land Utilization lands under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 U.S.C. 1012).

/b/ Land sales under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) resulted in direct payments at the time of sale 

totaling $842,271. Calendar year payments to Clark County, Nevada, and the State of Nevada under the Santini-Burton Act 

totaled $0. 

/c/ The timing of the payments for Oregon and California (O&C) grant lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road (CBWR) grant land 

counties was changed from “on or before September 30” to “as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year,” according to 

Public Law 106-393, October 30, 2000. This change was effective for the Fiscal Year 2001 payments, which were made in 

Fiscal Year 2002. For Fiscal Year 2011 receipts paid in Fiscal Year 2012, a total of $3,726,917 of the $40,037,161 is money 

that was returned to the BLM for Title II projects.

 FISCAL YEAR 2012–continued 

Note: Collection and distribution responsibilities for receipts under the Mineral Leasing Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat. 437; 

30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) were transferred to the Minerals Management Service (MMS), predecessor of the Office of Natural Resources 

Revenue (ONRR), as of October 1, 1983. The BLM distributes receipts from oil and gas pipeline rentals under the Mineral Leasing Act.

/a/ Washington, DC, Solicitor Opinion, December 9, 1985, states that Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 191) distribution applies to the 

Oregon and California (O&C) and Coos Bay Wagon Road (CBWR) grant land revenues from oil, gas, and minerals.

/b/ Distributed by the agency having jurisdiction over the lands in the same manner as prescribed for other receipts from the same lands.

/c/ For Fiscal Year 2012, secure rural school appropriations are authorized under the Secure Rural Schools and Community SelfDetermination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.), as amended by Public Law 112-141, 126 Stat. 905. The authority for the potential 

sequestration is Section 251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by Public Law 112-25, 

125 Stat. 241. For fiscal years 2008 through 2011, Public Law 110-343, dated October 3, 2008, reauthorized and amended the Secure 

Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, as originally enacted in Public Law 106-393. Payments are made from 

“any revenues, fees, penalties, or miscellaneous receipts, exclusive of deposits to any relevant trust fund, special account, or permanent 

operating funds, received by the Federal Government from activities by the Bureau of Land Management...on the applicable Federal land; 

and...to the extent of any shortfall, out of any amounts in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated.” Before Public 

Law 106-393 was enacted, “special payments” to counties for fiscal years 1994 through 2000 were made as required by Public 

Law 103-66, dated August 10, 1993. Payments were a declining percentage of the annual average of payments to counties made 

during the 5-year period consisting of fiscal years 1986 through 1990. Before that, payments were made under authority of the acts of 

1937 and 1939. Under those acts, O&C counties were entitled to 75 percent of receipts collected from O&C grant lands. However, in 

1953 the counties offered to return one-third of their share (or 25 percent of total receipts) to the United States for the development and 

management of the O&C lands. From 1953 until 1960, Congress appropriated some or all of these subsection (b) receipts for 

development, protection, and management of the O&C lands. From 1961 through 1981, an amount equal to the full 25 percent of receipts 

collected was appropriated by Congress for management and development of the O&C lands under the “Oregon and California Grant 

Lands” appropriation.

/d/ The Federal share of the monies received from the disposal of salvage timber from lands under BLM jurisdiction is available without 

 further appropriation in the BLM’s Forest Ecosystem Health and Recovery Fund (43 U.S.C. 1736a, Public Law 102-381, October 5, 1992, 

 106 Stat. 1376). A share of revenues from the sale of timber released under Section 2001(k) of the Supplemental Appropriations for 

Disaster Assistance and Rescissions Act is available to the BLM in the Timber Sales Pipeline Restoration fund, which was established by 

 Public Law 104-134, dated April 26, 1996.

 FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

/e/ Amount to counties is available for payment on receipt of tax bills. Any surplus after each 10-year period is paid into the General Fund. 

Special payments to counties for fiscal years 1994 through 2003 are required by Public Law 103-66, dated August 10, 1993, as amended 

by Public Law 103-443, dated November 2, 1994. The previously mentioned laws were superseded by Public Law 106-393; for fiscal 

years 2001 through 2006, counties were required to make a one-time election to receive either a regular distribution or “full payment 

amount.” The “full payment amount” was equal to the average of the three highest regular distribution payments and special payments 

from Fiscal Year 1986 through Fiscal Year 1999. Public Law 110-28, dated May 25, 2007, extended payments for Fiscal 

 Year 2007. For fiscal years 2008 through 2011, Public Law 110-343, dated October 3, 2008, reauthorized and amended the Secure Rural 

Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 as originally enacted in Public Law 106-393. 

/f/ Includes revenues from reclamation lands outside reclamation projects per Cooperative Agreement of March 8, 1972.

/g/ Payment to States represents 5 percent of net receipts (which equals 4 percent of gross receipts).

/h/ Distribution is the same as shown for Land Utilization (LU) lands mineral leases and permits.

/i/ Payment to the Reclamation Fund is made after deducting sale costs or 10 percent of revenue, whichever is less, to reimburse the BLM 

for sale expenses.

/j/ The Bureau of Reclamation may pay sale costs from the Reclamation Fund, or expenses may be paid and deducted by the BLM before 

transfer to the Reclamation Fund.

/k/ Public Law 105-263 authorizes the orderly disposal of certain Federal lands through sale in Clark County, Nevada, and provides for the 

acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands within the State of Nevada and other specified purposes. The Southern Nevada Public Land 

Management Act (SNPLMA) of 1998 includes the authority for the Secretary of the Interior to invest receipts (85 percent) in U.S. 

Treasury securities.

/l/ Range improvement fees are appropriated and available to the BLM for constructing, purchasing, or maintaining range improvements. 

/m/ The payment to Alaska represents receipts in excess of the actual cost of administering the grazing program in the State.

/n/ Appropriated and available to the BLM to lease lands for grazing purposes.

Table 3-34. FEDERAL LAND TRANSACTION FACILITATION ACT PROCEEDS FROM SALES, 

 EXCHANGES, AND ACQUISITIONS, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

Note: The Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) of 2000 (Public Law 106-248; 114 Stat. 613) was signed by the President on 

July 25, 2000. The purpose of FLTFA is to provide for the orderly disposition of certain Federal lands, fund the acquisition of 

inholdings and other lands containing exceptional resources, and make money available to the Secretary of the Interior to purchase 

privately owned lands lying within the boundary of federally designated areas, as well as other privately owned lands having exceptional 

scientific, natural, historical, cultural, or recreational resource value. Ninety-six percent (96%) of the proceeds (purchase money or cash 

equalization payment) received by the United States from the sale or exchange of public lands is deposited in a separate account in the 

Treasury of the United States, entitled the “Federal Land Disposal Account.” Four percent (4%) of the proceeds received by the United 

States from the sale or exchange of public lands is distributed to any trust funds of the State.

/a/ Total Funds Collected is purchase money that 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 year that the patent is issued. Purchase money 

enters into the land exchange process because exchanges must result in equal value given and received by both parties; this means that 

cash equalization payments are sometimes collected or made by the BLM to ensure an equitable exchange. 

/b/ Sales pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (Public Law 94-579; 90 Stat. 2750;

43 U.S.C. 1713). Purchase money received from these sales is subject to Title II of FLTFA. 

/c/ Exchanges pursuant to Section 206 of FLPMA (Public Law 94-579; 90 Stat. 2756). Purchase money (case equalization payments) 

received from these exchanges is subject to Title II of FLTFA. See Table 5-8 series, Land Exchanges and Acquisitions, for more details.

/d/ State Total includes Sales and Exchanges.

/e/ Lands acquired pursuant to Title II of FLTFA. See Table 5-8 series, Land Exchanges and Acquisitions, for more details.

Note: Statistics for issuance and categories of Federal coal leases are shown in Table 3-18. 

/a/ A lessee has 10 years from the date of lease issuance to develop the lease by diligently producing commercial quantities of coal. If 

production during the first 10 years of the lease is insufficient to meet the initial commercial quantity requirement, the lease will 

terminate at the end of the 10th year of the lease.

Case 6:15-cv-01517-AA Document 299-41 Filed 06/28/18 Page 195 of 284
186

Table 3-35. FEDERAL COAL LEASES, COMPLIANCE WITH DILIGENT DEVELOPMENT AND

CONTINUED OPERATION, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

/b/ After commercial quantities of coal have been initially produced from a Federal coal lease, the lease must, thereafter, be maintained in 

continued operation by annually producing at least commercial quantities of coal. The continued operation requirement may be met by 

actual production of at least commercial quantities of coal from the lease during the year or by cumulative production for the most recent 

year and the 2 immediately preceding years that is equivalent to or greater than the cumulative annual production of at least the 

cumulative commercial quantities of coal for the same period. 

/c/ Production from anywhere within a logical mining unit (LMU) may be used to comply with the requirement to produce commercial 

quantities of coal annually from an individual Federal coal lease. However, the annual commercial quantities requirement amount will be 

determined based on the recoverable coal reserves of the LMU rather than on just a singular Federal coal lease. Similar to a singular 

Federal coal lease, compliance with the annual production of commercial quantities may be based on the production for the current year 

or production for the current year and the previous 2 years. 

/d/ The continued operation requirement may be suspended by the payment of advance royalty for at least commercial quantities of coal. A 

lessee may pay advance royalty in lieu of continued operation for no more than 20 years during the life of a lease. Advance royalty may

be recouped against production royalties on a dollar basis when coal is next produced. 

/e/ The requirement to produce commercial quantities of coal may be suspended if the BLM determines that such a suspension is in the 

interest of conservation of the coal or other resources. The requirement to produce commercial quantities of coal annually may be 

suspended if mining operations on the lease are interrupted owing to strikes, the elements, or casualties that are attributable to the lessee. 

/f/ The continued operation requirement ends after all recoverable coal has been mined. 

/g/ These leases are not suspended, failed to produce commercial quantities of coal, and failed to pay advance royalty in lieu of continued 

operation.

PART 4

RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES 

The outdoor recreation program of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) aims to sustain 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 Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse 

Outstanding Natural Area (ONA) in Florida. 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 resourcebased 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 interpretive 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, 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 analysis and are portrayed in 

Table 4-4.

/a/ The Arizona State Office administers BLM public lands in California along the Colorado River; the California State Office administers BLM

public lands in northwestern Nevada; the Eastern States Office administers BLM public lands in the 31 States east of and bordering on the 

Mississippi River; the Montana State Office administers BLM public lands in North Dakota and South Dakota; the New Mexico State Office

administers BLM public lands in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas; the Oregon State Office administers BLM public lands in Washington; and 

the Wyoming State Office administers BLM public lands in Nebraska.

/b/ These are recreation sites and other specific areas on public lands directly managed by the BLM that are recognized as “managerially 

significant,” where management actions are required to provide specific recreation setting or activity opportunities, to protect resource 

values, or to enhance visitor safety. Visitation estimates at these sites and areas are based on a variety of methods, including sampling, fee 

receipts, registrations, traffic counts, observations, or best estimates based on local knowledge.

/c/ Dispersed areas are the remaining public lands that are open to recreational use but that do not contain developed or “managerially

 significant” recreation sites. Visitation estimates in dispersed areas are generally best estimates based on local knowledge.

/d/ Recreation lease sites are long-term authorizations granted under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA; 

Sections 302, 303, and 310) to private entities to provide recreation facilities and services to the public. Visitation estimates for recreation 

leases are based on a variety of methods.

/e/ Recreation partnership sites are recreation sites managed primarily by another public entity under the authority of the Recreation and Public 

 Purposes (R&PP) Act and similar agreements; the BLM has a significant presence on the leased parcel (e.g., ranger patrols, signs, brochures).

Visitation estimates for partnership sites are based on a variety of methods.

/f/ A visit is the entry of any person for recreational purposes onto lands and related waters administered by the BLM, regardless of duration.

/g/ A visitor day is a common unit of measure of recreational use among Federal agencies. One visitor day represents an aggregate of 12 visitor

 hours to a site or area.

FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

Note: This table shows participation levels for various activity groupings. Recreation activity type and duration (visitor days) are recorded at fee 

and nonfee sites and areas, as well as for special recreation permits. Visitor days, grouped into Activity Groups (summarized from a list of 

99 recreational activities), are based on registrations, permit records, observations, post-season permittee reports, and the professional 

judgment of the field staffs. Some totals may not appear correct because of rounding.

/a/ A visitor day is a common unit of measure of recreation use among Federal agencies. One visitor day represents an aggregate of 12 visitor 

hours at a site or area.

/b/ Visitor days occurring at designated fee sites and areas with entrance permits, recreational use permits, and special area permits, usually

with fee collection at the site.

/c/ Visitor days occurring on public lands that are subject to authorization under the Special Recreation Permit regulations, including the 

activities of private parties, commercial outfitters and guides, competitive events, organized groups, and other events.

/d/ Visitor days occurring at nonfee sites and dispersed areas when neither permits nor fees are required.

–concluded

Note: Estimates of statewide numbers and expenditures are shown. The percent of BLM-managed lands in the state is also shown to allow 

readers to make extrapolations as they deem prudent.

/a/ All numbers except the percentage of State lands managed by the BLM were derived from data in the 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, State Overview, issued September 2012 (Preliminary Estimates). 

/b/ Includes only those States with more than 50,000 acres of BLM-administered public lands.

/c/ The estimated number of anglers 16 years old and older (number in thousands) is for calendar year 2011. Anglers are sportspersons who 

only fished plus those who fished and hunted. Anglers include not only licensed hook and line anglers, but also those who have no license 

and those who use special methods, such as fishing with spears.

/d/ The estimated number of hunters 16 years old and older (number in thousands) is for calendar year 2011. Hunters are sportspersons who 

only hunted plus those who hunted and fished. Hunters include not only licensed hunters using rifles and shotguns, but also those who 

have no license and those who engage in hunting with archery equipment, muzzleloaders, other primitive firearms, or pistols or handguns.

/e/ The estimated number of wildlife viewers 16 years old and older (number in thousands) is for calendar year 2011. The 2011 Survey uses a 

strict definition of wildlife watching. Participants must either take a “special interest” in wildlife around their homes or take a trip for the 

“primary purpose” of wildlife watching. Secondary wildlife watching, such as incidentally observing wildlife while pleasure driving, is not 

included. 

/f/ The estimated expenditures (in thousands of dollars) for fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing (2011, population 16 years old and older) 

are expressed in calendar year 2012 dollars where spending took place in 2011. Calendar year 2012 dollars were calculated by multiplying 

the expenditure values (2011 dollars) and adjusting that number for inflation using the Consumer Price Index inflation calculator from the 

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2012). 

/g/ Approximate percentages based on Public Land Statistics, Tables 1-3 and 1-4. Calculations are based on acreages rounded to the nearest 

10,000 acres.

PART 5

NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION

The public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 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; national 

scenic and historic trails; 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 National Trails System 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, or 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. During the past 30 years, beginning with the designation 

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

received protective designations through either an act of Congress or a 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, including 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 890 BLM units encompassing more than 

31 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:

5-1 National Landscape Conservation System: Number and Size of Designated Areas 

5-2 National Monuments within the National Landscape Conservation System

5-3a National Conservation Areas within the National Landscape Conservation System

5-3b Other Conservation Units within the National Landscape Conservation System

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 reflected in the following tables. 

Tables 5-8a, 5-8b, and 5-8c. 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; development and 

implementation of 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 acquisitions, 

accomplishments, and funding levels. For additional information, visit the SNPLMA website 

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, 5-13a, and 5-13b. The BLM administers the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 

1971 (Public Law 92-195), 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, 5-13a, and 5-13b 

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 

22 million acres for cultural resources and has recorded more than 348,429 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 not already encompassed by the NLCS.

/a/ The total acres figure includes double-counted acres. The Geographic Information System (GIS) 

analysis has shown that when double-counted acres are considered (i.e., Wilderness Areas within a 

National Monument or National Conservation Area), the National Landscape Conservation System 

(NLCS) provides for special management prescriptions on approximately 25 million acres of public 

land. 

/b/ Area established by Congress in 2008 in Public Law 110-226.

total acres are owned by six Federal and non-Federal entities.

/d/ The Tabeguache Area in Colorado is, by act of Congress, to be managed like wilderness but is not 

shown here because it has not been officially designated as wilderness.

/e/ The total may appear incorrect, because the number was rounded after addition.

Table 5-7. NATIONAL SCENIC AND HISTORIC TRAILS

 AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2012–concluded 

/a/ This table is based on total field-estimated mileage for the congressionally designated route crossing 

BLM public lands and/or the best available field data for the actual trail location. The trail mileage 

accuracy varies by BLM Field Office, depending on the amount of National Trail Inventory 

completed, and the influence of the unique physical nature of National Historic Trails. 

/b/ The Department of the Interior delegated national trail administration responsibilities to the BLM for 

the associated trails. These responsibilities are shared with the National Park Service for the Old 

Spanish National Historic Trail and the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. 

/c/ The change in previously reported mileage results from improved data collection methodology.

/d/ The total BLM mileage number is based on the congressionally designated route.

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/.

Table 5-9. SOUTHERN NEVADA PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT ACT 

BUDGET AUTHORITY, FISCAL YEAR 2012–concluded

/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. 

• Capital improvements at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Desert National Wildlife 

Refuge, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Great Basin National Park, and other 

areas administered by the BLM and the Forest Service in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine 

counties and the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area. 

• Development of parks, trails, and natural areas in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine counties 

and in portions of Washoe County and Carson City, Nevada, pursuant to a cooperative 

agreement with a unit of local or regional government. 

• Conservation initiatives on Federal land in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine counties, and 

portions of Carson City, Nevada, administered by the Department of the Interior or the 

Department of Agriculture. 

 

• Development and implementation of a multispecies habitat conservation plan in Clark 

County. 

• Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects.

• Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Wildfire Prevention within the Lake Tahoe Basin, and the

Nevada portions of the Carson Range and the Spring Mountain Range. 

• Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Projects including, but not limited to: fire 

management, fuels, forest, woodlands, rangelands, aspen and riparian communities, wildlife 

habitat, soils, and watersheds on Federal lands in White Pine County and/or Lincoln County, 

Nevada.

• Reimbursement of costs incurred by the BLM for implementation of the act and to clear 

debris from and protect land within the disposal boundary and land reserved for affordable 

housing. 

/b/ All projects completed in Fiscal Year 2012 received approval and budget authority in 

Rounds 3–11. A round is a cycle or period of time for consideration and approval of projects. 

 

/c/ The Secretary approved funding for Round 13 on September 24, 2012. 

/d/ Owing to the interagency nature of the majority of Conservation Initiatives, 54 separate 

“subprojects” were set up with the eligible Federal agencies to complete these 29 projects.

/e/ Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects were funded in Rounds 5 through 12, during which time the 

$300 million authorized to be appropriated for projects at Lake Tahoe over 10 years was 

approved by the Secretary and allocated for that purpose. Therefore, no additional funds are 

being allocated to Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects.

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

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

in the Las Vegas Valley within a disposal boundary established by Congress. Revenues from SNPLMA 

are used for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the State of Nevada, with a priority for 

lands in Clark County, and for other purposes established by the legislation. Land has been acquired in 

several Nevada counties using funds in the SNPLMA Special Account. 

/a/ Land Disposal includes auctions (oral, Internet, sealed bid, and modified competitive), direct sales, 

patented Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) lands, affordable housing sales, and exchanges. 

The Santini-Burton boundary and the CMA boundary (land conveyed to Clark County through the 

SNPLMA legislation) are both wholly within the SNPLMA Disposal Boundary. When Santini-Burton 

parcels outside the CMA boundary but within the SNPLMA Disposal Boundary are sold, the acres are 

included in total acres disposed, but no revenue from sale of those Santini-Burton parcels goes to the 

SNPLMA Special Account. 

/b/ Includes the acres disposed through conveyance to Clark County for the CMA. 

 

/c/ Includes the number of parcels conveyed to Clark County for the CMA. 

/d/ The disposal revenue figures now include all revenue, including that from R&PP leases and leases held by 

Clark County on CMA lands. Mineral sales are not included in the land disposal revenue.

 PART 6 

PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND RESOURCE PROTECTION

The stewardship role of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 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 2012 fire 

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

local fire agencies.

Nationally, on all lands, 2012 saw the third highest number of acres burned since 1960. Only 2006 (when 9.9 

million acres burned) and 2007 (when 9,328,045 acres burned) surpassed the 9,326,238 acres burned in 2012. 

On BLM and adjacent lands, both the number of fires and acres burned were up in 2012, with more than a 

four-fold jump in the BLM acres burned. Just in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, 2,565 BLM fires 

burned 2.55 million acres, up from 2,155 fires and a mere 577,612 acres in Fiscal Year 2011. 

Table 6.1 reflects data through the fiscal year; however, by the end of calendar year 2012 (owing to late season 

fires) 3.3 million acres had burned on BLM land, more than a third of the national total. A majority of the 

BLM activity during the year occurred in Oregon (1.1 million acres), Idaho (620,717 acres), Nevada (506,913 

acres), and California (466,346 acres). Of particular concern is that by the end of the calendar year, 

approximately 2.7 million acres of critical sage-grouse habitat had been burned. Ongoing drought and 

extended periods of extremely hot and dry weather contributed to the high level of fire activity during the year. 

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 have 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 owing 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.
