    This notice from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management announces a Public Land Order that withdraws 39.6 acres of National Forest System lands in Siskiyou County, California, from mining under U.S. mining laws for 20 years. This is done to protect cultural and historic resources at the Schwartz and Leff Administrative Site along the North Fork of the Salmon River in the Klamath National Forest. The withdrawal does not affect leasing under other mineral or geothermal leasing laws and will expire in 20 years unless extended.

    The government has decided to stop people from digging for minerals or gold on a special piece of land in California for 20 years. This is to keep the old and important things there safe.

  • 2024-31215 — Notice of Termination of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Twin Metals Project in the Superior National Forest, Lake and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106561
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the termination of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Twin Metals Project, which was to evaluate the impacts of mining operations in Minnesota's Superior National Forest. This decision follows the cancellation of mineral leases by the Department of the Interior due to improper renewal and a withdrawal order that prohibits new mineral leasing for 20 years on the affected lands. As a result, Twin Metals no longer has the necessary land use authorization to proceed with its proposed project.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management has stopped looking into whether a mining project in a Minnesota forest is okay because the rules weren't followed, and they can't use the land for mining anymore. The project can't go on because the necessary permissions are no longer there.
