Utah Planning and NEPA
The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) land use plans evaluate and guide the management of resources and uses on public lands. Using the principles of multiple use and sustained yield, BLM Utah seeks to maximize resource values on public land for current and future generations, ensuring the health, diversity, and productivity of public land. BLM Utah manages approximately 23 million surface acres of public land.

If you are having difficulty finding a NEPA project older than 2015, please also check our archive of NEPA projects on the Environmental Notification Bulletin Board.
