SERIES: 25656
TITLE: Withdrawals of land from leasing or permitting
DATES: 1994-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by name of project.

DESCRIPTION: The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands manages approximately 1.5 million acres of sovereign land (UCA 65A-7-1 2004). Management responsibilities include issuance of land use authorizations such as grazing permits, easements, rights of entry, special use leases and general permits. The Division director, as trust officer of sovereign lands, periodically initiates a withdrawal of land from leasing and permitting if it has been determined that a withdrawal is in the best interest of the public trust. Withdrawals are generally temporary and provide land managers with the opportunity to look at the broad management picture as they gather data and solicit public input to assist in the development of long-term management plans. The records consist primarily of Directors agenda memoranda stating the location, purpose and duration of withdrawals.
