    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued a notice detailing why the BLM Director rejected the Montana Governor's suggestions on the management plan for the Miles City Field Office. The Governor argued that the plan didn’t align with Montana’s policies on state trust lands, energy strategy, and coal revenue. However, the BLM Director found that the recommendations did not reasonably balance state and federal interests, partly because the plan does not affect state land decisions. The BLM ensures the plan complies with federal laws, considering both state and national interests.

    Simple Explanation

    The BLM Director decided not to follow the Montana Governor's suggestions for a land management plan because the suggestions didn't make sense for both state and federal needs. The plan mostly deals with federal land rules, so it doesn't really change what happens on state lands.

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the availability of the Record of Decision (ROD) and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) for the Rough Hat Clark Solar Project in Clark County, Nevada. This project involves constructing a 400-megawatt solar power facility and a 700-megawatt battery energy storage system on BLM-managed land. The Department of the Interior has approved the BLM's decision to issue a right-of-way grant for the project, which includes changing the visual resource management classification of the area. The RMPA faced public protests and a Governor's review, but these processes were resolved without objections to the plan.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management decided to let a company build a big solar power plant and a battery storage unit in Nevada, and even though some people were worried and asked questions, in the end, everyone agreed to go ahead with it.

  • 2024-31314 — BLM Director's Response to the Wyoming Governor's Appeal of the BLM Wyoming State Director's Governor's Consistency Review Determination for the Buffalo Field Office Proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106557
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a notice explaining why it rejected the Governor of Wyoming's recommendations regarding the Buffalo Field Office Proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. The BLM determined that the Governor's suggestions did not align with national interests because they favored coal leasing, which conflicts with current federal policies and executive orders aimed at addressing climate change. The BLM emphasized its responsibility to balance state and national interests, focusing on policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support renewable energy. The agency found that continued coal leasing would not support these national goals and interests.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decided not to follow the Wyoming Governor's idea to continue coal mining because it doesn't match with the country's plan to stop climate change by using less coal and more clean energy.
