The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah oversees coal and solid non-energy mineral leases on federal lands, including processing applications and managing existing leases. They also handle mining claims filed under the 1872 Mining Law.
BLM Utah manages a vast amount of public land in the state, with significant mineral resources. Utah's diverse mineral portfolio, including a wide range of commodities, presents unique challenges in managing the complex regulatory and legal framework governing these resources.
