UT ARMPA Map 2.4 Fluid Mineral Categories

This data set was created to depict the fluid minerals leasing allocations from the BLM Greater Sage-Grouse Land Use Planning Strategy in the Utah Sub-Region. This data was developed to reflect the fluid minerals leasing allocation of the final agency decision to amend 14 BLM land use plans throughout the State of Utah. This planning process was initiated through issuance of a Notice of Intent published on December 6, 2011. This dataset is associated with the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments for the Great Basin Region, released to the public via a Notice of Availability on September 24, 2015. The purpose of the planning process was to address protection of greater sage-grouse, in partial response to a March 2010 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that found the greater sage-grouse was eligible for listing under the authorities of the Endangered Species Act. The planning process resulted in preparation of a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and final environmental impact statement (FEIS) in close coordination with cooperating agencies for theplanning effort. The planning effort addressed the adequacy of regulatory mechanisms found in the land use plans, as well as addressing the myriad threats to grouse and their habitat that were identified by the FWS. Fluid mineral leasing categories include areas "Open" subject to standard stipulations on the leasing form; "Controlled Surface Use / Timing Limitations" that is open for leasing, but new leases would be subject to stipulations and seasons identified in the Approved Plan Amendments; "No Surface Occupancy" that is open for leasing, but would be subject to a stipulation to not allow surface occupancy; and "Closed" where areas would not be offered for lease. Data also includes areas where no previous planning effort made any fluid mineral leasing decisions.
