Public Land Order No. 7949; Extension and Correction of Public Land Order No. 7618, Withdrawal of Public Lands Within Segments of the Colorado, Dolores, and Green River Corridors; Utah

This Public Land Order (PLO) extends the duration of the withdrawal created by PLO No. 7618, which would otherwise expire October 5, 2024, for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7618 withdrew approximately 111,895 acres of public lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, to protect the recreational, scenic, cultural, riparian, and fish and wildlife values of the Colorado, Dolores, and Green River corridors. Since 2004, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has conducted official surveys or resurveys of the lands included in PLO No. 7618 and has revised the legal descriptions of the areas withdrawn. The acreage figure has been updated from 111,895 acres to approximately 109,287 acres for this PLO to reflect the corrected land description.
