WELCOME TO PUBLIC LAND STATISTICS 2015
Welcome to the 2015 edition of Public Land Statistics (PLS) published by the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) As in past PLS publications this yearrsquos cover is designed to convey the scope of the BLMrsquos complex and multifaceted mission using visual imagery The 80-plus tables inside tell the story of the BLMrsquos mission programs and accomplishments using numerical data and detailed footnotes
Many of the minor acreage changes from one year to the next occur because
1 Inholdings have been acquired or some other land exchange has taken place during the year
2 Improved GIS mapping of land boundaries has enabled the BLM to recalculate the total acres within the units
Note that data presented in the 2015 PLS tables may not exactly match data in other BLM publications covering fiscal year (FY) 2015 operations and accomplishments Such discrepancies occur because the databases that provide table data are not static they are constantly being updated to provide the latest information sometimes many months after the end of the fiscal year The most current data available is presented in this edition
The BLM remains committed to publishing a PLS report each year that is timely complete and as helpful as possible to readers PLS is available online at httpwwwblmgovpublic_land_statisticsindexhtm

PART 1
LAND RESOURCES AND INFORMATION
The total area of the 50 United States is 23 billion acres The first public domain was created in 1781 when New York agreed to surrender to the Federal Government its claim to unsettled territory that extended westward to the Mississippi River Other colonies followed New Yorkrsquos example a nd by 1802 all of the land west of the colonies between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River belonged to the Federal Government In the course of national expansion from 1781 to 1867 the public domain rapidly grew beyond the bounds of the Appalachian West with the Federal Government acquiring 18 billion acres of public domain lands Accurate surveys were needed before the new public lands could be identified for sale or other disposition In 1785 t he Continental Congress adopted an ordinance setting up a survey system for the public domain lands The General Land Office predecessor to the present-day Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was established to oversee the surveying a nd disposal of the public lands Congress enacted various public land l aws to accomplish these disposals The land disposals built the countryrsquos economic foundation opened the West to settlement and united the vast expanses of land into one nation To raise money to repay Revolutionary War debts and encourage settlement of new territories the Federal Government sold or granted vast tracts of public lands to settlers homesteaders veterans towns new states entering t he Union railroads agricultural and mechanical colleges and universities and private companies To date almost 13 bi llion acres of public lands have been transferred out of Federal Government ownership Congress recognized the need to protect the nations natural historical and cultural resources while providing opportunities for recreation Special acts withdrew millions of acres of public lands from settlement for national parks national forests national monuments national wildlife refuges national trails and national wild and scenic rivers Some of the best known congressional withdrawals include Yellowstone National Park Grand Canyon National Park and Death Valley National Park The nationrsquos expanding population and mobile society created a demand for a variety of public land uses Changes in public attitudes and a concern for environmental values and open space began to compete with the need for development and increased production Congress recognizing the value of the remaining public domain lands enacted the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 This act declares that with the exception of individual tracts that may be disposed of in the national interest it is the policy of the United States to retain its public lands in federal ownership FLPMA mandates that the BLM administer the public lands under the concept of multiple use while protecting the long-term health of the land Today the BLM administers about 2483 million surface acres of public land and approximately 700 million acres of federal subsurface mineral estate in the United States The BLM is responsible for managing these lands and their various resources so that they are used in a manner that will best meet the present and future needs of the nation Table 1-1 Acquisition of the Public Domain 1781ndash1867 contains summary data on territories acquired by the Federal Government during the course of national expansion Thirty states commonly called the ldquopublic land statesrdquo were created as a result of these acquisitions (Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Florida Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Louisiana Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon South Dakota Utah Washington Wisconsin and Wyoming)

Table 1-2 Disposition of the Public Domain 1781ndash2015 includes summary data and cumulative acreage totals for public lands disposed of by the Federal Government Among the earliest disposal actions were grants of land to veterans of the Revolutionary War Later grants were made to new states entering the Union as well as for the creation of agricultural and mechanical colleges and universities The Homestead Act permitted settlers to obtain land for agricultural purposes Grants were also made for the construction of railroads With the exception of the Desert Land Act of 1877 (which was amended) all of the land grant and disposal acts have been repealed or superseded by other acts Therefore the data contained in Table 1-2 except with respect to the State of Alaska are subject to little or no change
Table 1-3 Mineral and Surface Acres Administered by the Bureau of Land Management contains summary data of mineral estate administration by the BLM and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
Table 1-4 Public Lands Under Jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management contains summary data of public lands in each state that are currently under the administrative jurisdiction of the BLM By law the States of Maryland Texas and Virginia are not public land states By virtue of the Articles of Confederation and later the Constitution the State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia retained control of their public lands when they entered the Union When the State of Texas entered the Union by a joint resolution of Congress it was allowed to retain control of its public lands The BLM acquired 548 acres of land in Maryland and 805 acres of land in Virginia in separate acquisitions under Section 205 of FLPMA 43 USC 1715 as amended The BLM also acquired 11833 acres of land in the State of Texas by Secretarial Order 3198 dated March 12 1996
Table 1-5 Area of Oregon and California (OampC) Revested Lands depicts data on revested (Oregon amp California Railroad) lands and reconveyed (Coos Bay Wagon Road Company) lands These lands are administered under the Oregon and California Revested Lands Sustained Yield Management Act of August 28 1937 (50 Stat 874) as amended by the act of June 24 1954 (68 Stat 271)
Table 1-6 Withdrawals Revocations Modifications Extensions and Expirations presents a compilation of withdrawals revocations modifications extensions and expirations administratively made by the Secretary of the Interior These withdrawals are for a specific duration that can vary from less than 1 year to as many as 50 years with a provision for extension if the withdrawal is still needed
Table 1-7 Cadastral Survey Actions Completed contains a summary of cadastral surveys completed on public lands managed by the BLM during the past year To manage the public lands effectively the BLM must identify areas both by graphic representation and by monumentation on the ground This is accomplished by cadastral surveys an exclusive and significant responsibility of the BLM Cadastral surveys create and establish on-the-ground boundaries of public land subdivisions in units suitable for management and for identification in official field notes and plats This table also summarizes cadastral surveys that the BLM has completed on lands managed by other federal agencies
Table 1-8 Obligations of Appropriations Received contains a summary of obligations of appropriations made to the BLM during the past fiscal year as well as a summary of obligations of appropriations transferred from other bureaus and agencies to the BLM This table summarizes all funds that were obligated to manage the BLMrsquos lands and assist other agencies

PART 2
HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE LANDS
In support of the BLMrsquos mission to sustain the health diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations a variety of programs carry out projects in a coordinated manner to support healthy productive lands Public lands are healthy and productive when the natural environmental processes that keep them functioning are maintained and self-sustaining Healthy productive public lands are a product of careful management in the form of resource conservation restoration and use This requires coordination across programs within the BLM as well as with partner agencies nongovernmental organizations and members of the public
Table 2-1 Percentage of Rangeland Acreage by Ecological Status by State provides a summary of the ecological site inventories conducted by the BLM Ecological site inventories are visits to specific sites on public lands where scientists collect information on vegetation soil and water conditions This information provides land managers with information to help determine the capacity of the land for various uses (livestock grazing wildlife recreation mineral exploration etc) and to help assess the status of resource management objectives in land use plans
Table 2-2 Condition of Riparian-Wetland Areas shows a summary of the condition of riparian and wetland areas in each state Riparian-wetland areas (streams creeks rivers lakes etc) constitute a small percentage of the public lands but their benefits far exceed their acreage Scientists visit streams and collect data on vegetation landform and large woody debris to figure out the status of these areas Riparian and wetland areas are considered to be functioning properly when adequate vegetation landform or large woody debris is present to dissipate energy associated with high flow events
Table 2-3 Resource Conservation and Improvement Accomplishments provides a quick look at some of the many projects during the past year that the BLM completed for conservation rehabilitation and development of public lands These projects stabilize soils maintain or improve water quality reduce siltation and salinity reduce surface runoff and control flooding They also assist in improving ecologic site conditions (Table 2-1) promoting healthy riparian areas and wetlands (Table 2-2) and enhancing the overall health of the environment
Table 2-4 Forest Development Accomplishments in Acres reports the numerous reforestation and improvement projects the BLM completed this past fiscal year for restoring forest ecosystems on public lands
Table 2-5 Types of Wildlife Habitat on Public Lands in the Conterminous 48 States reports the various types and amounts of wildlife habitats (shrubscrub deciduous forest woody wetlands open water etc) that exist on public lands in the ldquolower 48rdquo These lands offer feeding roosting breeding nesting and refuge areas for a wide variety of wildlife across the Western United States
Table 2-6 Types of Wildlife Habitat on Public Lands in Alaska reports the various types and amounts of wildlife habitats (shrubscrub deciduous forest woody wetlands open water etc) that exist on public lands in Alaska As with the public lands in the other 48 states (Table 2-5) these lands in Alaska are important for wildlife
Table 2-7 Fish Wildlife and Plant Conservation Activities Completed shows projects undertaken to conserve fish wildlife and plants on public lands Most of the conservation efforts are accomplished in cooperation with state fish and wildlife agencies federal agencies conservation groups and a variety of public and private partners
43
Table 2-8 Emergency Fire Stabilization and Rehabilitation Projects describes the BLMrsquos fire rehabilitation efforts These projects stabilize soils and restore watersheds after wildfires to protect the environment from erosion and invasive weeds They also help minimize threats to public health and safety and minimize the potential for the recurrence of wildfire The number and acreage of fire rehabilitation projects vary yearly and correspond to the amount of wildfires on BLM-managed public lands

Table 2-2 CONDITION OF RIPARIAN-WETLAND AREAS FISCAL YEAR 2015ndashconcluded Note Totals for the columns may appear to be incorrect because the percentages are rounded to the nearest
whole number a Riparian areas are green zones along flowing water habitats such as rivers streams and creeks
(referred to as lotic habitat areas) and are reported in miles b Riparian and wetland areas are functioning properly when adequate vegetation landform or large
woody debris is present to dissipate energy associated with high flow events c Functioning-at-risk areas are functioning but an existing soil water or vegetation attribute makes
them susceptible to degradation The trend is an assessment of apparent direction of change in conditions either toward or away from site stability Trend is determined by comparing the present condition with previous photos by utilizing trend studies inventories or other documentation or by using professional knowledge judgment and experience The lack of historical information on the condition of a site may lead to a ldquotrend not apparentrdquo assessment
d Nonfunctional areas do not contain sufficient vegetation landform or large woody debris to
dissipate energies associated with high flow events e Unknown areas have n ot been assessed by the BLM f Total miles and acres may show annual variation owing to additional mapping of riparian-wetland
areas and improving accuracy when geographic information system tools are used during field inventories These values will likely continue to change in future years as additional mapping becomes available
g Wetland areas are standing water habitats such as bogs marshes wet meadows and estuaries
(referred to as lentic habitat areas) and are reported in acres

PART 3
COMMERCIAL USES AND REVENUES GENERATED
The demands being placed on the public lands are growing in tandem with the number and diversity of people the BLM serves The BLMrsquos ability to meet these new demands will depend on improving its accountability to users of the public lands while emphasizing the responsibility of these users to adhere to an ethic that is sensitive to the landrsquos health and responsive to the publicrsquos right to receive fair value in return The BLM historically has made land available for authorized private sector activities such as recreation energy and mineral commodity extraction livestock forage use sawtimber harvest and other related land use authorizations and land dispositions and will continue to do so The BLM strives to ensure that taxpayers receive a fair return from such transactions consistent with existing laws The BLM also strives to ensure that adverse effects on the land other users and the American public are minimized to prevent long-term environmental impairment or the creation of unfunded taxpayer liabilities The BLM administers about 2483 m illion surface acres of public land about one-tenth of the land in the United States and approximately 700 million acres of onshore federal mineral estate on or underlying both federal surface ownerships and privately owned lands The BLM also provides technical supervision of mineral development and cadastral (land) survey on 56 million acres of American Indian trust lands Tables 3-1 through 3-24 s how the essential outputs of various interrelated programs that provide commercial uses Tables 3-25 through 3-32 display outcome-oriented information in terms of receipts or payments and the allocation of funds generated from commercial use activities on publ ic lands Table 3shy33 presents a financial update for the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Table 3-35 presents information on compliance with diligent development and continued operation of federal coal leases Please note that only receipts and payments collected by the BLM are listed For revenues derived from BLM energy and mineral activities refer to the Department of the Interiorrsquos Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) statistical information website Data were not submitted for the onshore federal mineral revenues generated by the BLM and collected by the ONRR including royalties rents and bonus bids or for revenue for Indian mineral owners for mineral operations on American Indian trust lands

Note All receipts are in thousands of dollars all helium volumes are in million cubic feet (1465 pounds-force per square inch absolute [psia]
and 60 degrees F) all natural gasliquids volumes are in thousand decatherms (1473 psia and 60 degrees F) BLM operating expenses for
the Federal Helium Program are deducted from revenues All operations are financed through nonappropriated funds
a Figures represent in-kind helium sales plus open-market sales of helium FY 2015 open market sales of helium were 901 million
cubic feet with sales receipts of $93649000 whereas in-kind sales were 164 million cubic feet with sales receipts of $12495996
b This is the balance of private helium remaining in storage at the end of each fiscal year Depending on helium demand this volume can
increase or decrease Government helium in storage as of the end of September 2015 was 66 billion cubic feet
c The storage contracts provide for the collection of contract fees pipeline connect fees and reservoir management fees based on stored
volumes and the storage activity conducted by the contract holder The transportation and storage of private company helium serves as a
method of providing an adequate supply of crude helium to the private helium purification plants
d Volumes reported are based on helium contained in gross gas handled and represent only estimates of the volumes of helium sold from
federal land
e Includes revenues for federal helium produced in Colorado Kansas Oklahoma Texas Utah and Wyoming Volumes reported do not
correlate directly to revenues Revenues are based on value received and volume of helium extracted
f Figures represent sales of natural gas plus natural gas liquids The FY 2015 volume sold and sales receipts shown are estimates of the latest data

Note Statistics for issuance and categories of federal coal leases are shown in Table 3-18
a A lessee has 10 years from the date of lease issuance to develop the lease by diligently producing commercial quantities of coal Ifproduction during the first 10 years of the lease is insufficient to meet the initial commercial quantity requirement the lease willterminate at the end of the 10th year of the lease
182
Table 3-35 FEDERAL COAL LEASES COMPLIANCE WITH DILIGENT DEVELOPMENT ANDCONTINUED OPERATION FISCAL YEAR 2015ndashconcluded
b After commercial quantities of coal have been initially produced from a federal coal lease the lease must thereafter be maintained in continued operation by annually producing at least commercial quantities of coal The continued operation requirement may be met byactual production of at least commercial quantities of coal from the lease during the year or by cumulative production for the most recentyear and the 2 immediately preceding years that is equivalent to or greater than the cumulative annual production of at least thecumulative commercial quantities of coal for the same period
c Production from anywhere within a logical mining unit (LMU) may be used to comply with the requirement to produce commercialquantities of coal annually from an individual federal coal lease However the annual commercial quantities requirement amount will be determined based on the recoverable coal reserves of the LMU rather than on just a singular federal coal lease Similar to a singularfederal coal lease compliance with the annual production of commercial quantities may be based on the production for the current year orproduction for the current year and the previous 2 years
d The continued operation requirement may be suspended by the payment of advance royalty for at least commercial quantities of coal Alessee may pay advance royalty in lieu of continued operation for no more than 20 years during the life of a lease Advance royalty maybe recouped against production royalties on a dollar basis when coal is next produced
e The requirement to produce commercial quantities of coal may be suspended if the BLM determines that such a suspension is in the interest of conservation of the coal or other resources The requirement to produce commercial quantities of coal annually may besuspended if mining operations on the lease are interrupted owing to strikes the elements or casualties that are not attributable to thelessee
f The continued operation requirement ends after all recoverable coal has been mined
g These leases are not suspended failed to produce commercial quantities of coal and failed to pay advance royalty in lieu of continuedoperation
183
PART 4
RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES
The outdoor recreation program of the BLM aims to sustain healthy land and water resources while promoting appropriate and responsible visitor use of those lands and waters The BLM provides recreational opportunities in a variety of settings that typify the vast and diverse landscapes of the Western States from the tundra in Alaska to the deserts of the Southwest and from the old-growth forests of the Northwest to the plateaus and plains of the Rocky Mountain States In addition in the Eastern States the BLM provides recreational opportunities in settings such as the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area in Florida Many BLM areas have been recognized by the BLM Congress or the President and have been given special designations (as detailed in Part 5 Natural and Cultural Heritage Preservation) to protect the unique and sensitive values of each area
As a national provider of recreational opportunities the BLM focuses on its primary niche providing resource-based recreation and tourism opportunities Visitorsrsquo freedom to pursue unstructured recreational opportunities is promoted as long as they accept the responsibility to use public lands wisely and to respect other public land users Responsible use is encouraged by the BLM and its partners through land use ethics programs such as Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace
Recreation sites information and interpretive sites trails staging areas and similar places are also provided on some BLM public lands to protect resources and to help visitors have quality recreational experiences At many sites and areas fees are charged to provide for maintenance and improvement At other sites generally those public lands without visitor accommodations no fees are charged Most recreational use on public lands occurs in nonfee areas Whether the visitor chooses highly developed recreation fee sites or remote wilderness areas where neither fees nor registration is required the BLM relies heavily on public land users to protect the land water and structures so that the next person can also have a quality experience Because some visitors are unfamiliar with outdoor skills the BLM issues special recreation permits to qualified commercial companies to guide visitors on public lands Special recreation permits are also issued to competitive event organizers and other organized groups to conduct their activities on public lands
The information in the following tables is intended to provide an overview of recreational use and opportunities on public lands BLM offices are responsible for collecting and maintaining various data relating to the recreation program These field-level data are then aggregated in the BLMrsquos Recreation Management Information System database Tables 4-1 through 4-3 summarize recreation data from this database and revenue data from the BLMrsquos Collections and Billings System Table 4-1 presents the estimated visitor use data by state Table 4-2 presents visitor use data by recreational activity at fee and nonfee areas including areas leased to private and public providers and Table 4-3 presents reported revenues by state and type of authorization These tables present a picture of the amount and types of recreational activities on public lands geographically for recreation sites and dispersed areas and for both fee and nonfee areas

PART 5
NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION
The public lands managed by the BLM encompass some of the most spectacular great open spaces in the United States They contain exceptional geologic formations comparatively undisturbed native plant and animal communities wilderness areas and wild and scenic rivers national scenic and historic trails and innumerable paleontological archaeological and historical sites These resources are scientifically ecologically culturally educationally and recreationally important representing a significant part of this nationrsquos natural and cultural heritage
Congress has passed a variety of laws concerning the management and use of these heritage resources including the Antiquities Act of 1906 Wilderness Act of 1964 National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 National Trails System Act of 1968 Sikes Act of 1960 Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 and Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009
Many of these laws establish procedures for formally recognizing areas that are unique or that contain significant scientific educational or recreational values Some of these designations including national conservation areas and national monuments require congressional or Presidential action Others such as areas of critical environmental concern are BLM designations established through land use planning or other administrative procedures During the past 45 years beginning with designation of the King Range National Conservation Area many extraordinary landscapes on our public lands have received protective designations through either an act of Congress or a Presidential proclamation
National Landscape Conservation System
The BLM established the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) to provide a national framework for managing special areas on the public lands designated by Congress or the President In 2009 Congress formally established the NLCS with the passage of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act This system includes all of the BLMrsquos national conservation areas and similar designations including wilderness national historic and scenic trails wild and scenic rivers national monuments wilderness study areas and conservation lands of the California desert Taken together there are 871 NLCS units encompassing 32915964 acres of public land
This system is a new model of conservation Most visitor facilities are located in adjacent communities providing local economic opportunities and minimizing new development in the special areas Many traditional public land uses such as livestock grazing are permitted in these areas and adjacent communities and interested public entities are encouraged to participate in the planning process and ongoing management activities
The following tables provide statistics for the conservation units included in the NLCS
5-1 National Landscape Conservation System Number and Size of Designated Areas 5-2 National Monuments within the National Landscape Conservation System 5-3a National Conservation Areas within the National Landscape Conservation System 5-3b Other Conservation Units within the National Landscape Conservation System 5-4 Designated Wilderness within the National Landscape Conservation System 5-5 Wilderness Study Areas within the National Landscape Conservation System 5-6 BLM Wild Scenic and Recreational Rivers 5-7 National Scenic and Historic Trails

Administrative Natural and Cultural Heritage Designations
In addition to assuming the responsibilities previously noted the BLM works to preserve and protect threatened and endangered species wild free-roaming horses and burros significant archaeological paleontological and historical sites areas of critical environmental concern and other outstanding natural areas Some of those responsibilities are reflected in the following tables
Tables 5-8a 5-8b and 5-8c Land Exchanges and Acquisitions show an important component of the BLMrsquos land management strategy The BLM acquires land and easements in land when it is in the public interest and consistent with publicly approved land use plans The BLMrsquos land acquisition program is designed to improve management of natural resources by consolidating federal state and private lands to increase recreational opportunities and preserve open space to secure key property necessary to protect endangered species and promote biological diversity and to preserve archaeological and historical resources
Table 5-9 provides a summary of projects using funds under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) of 1998 The BLM other federal agencies and local governments in Clark Lincoln and White Pine Counties as well as portions of Washoe County and Carson City Nevada use 85 percent of the revenue generated by land sales under SNPLMA for parks trails and natural areas capital improvements conservation initiatives development and implementation of a multispecies habitat conservation plan for Clark County Nevada environmentally sensitive land acquisitions hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention eastern Nevada landscape restoration projects and Lake Tahoe restoration projects
Table 5-10 illustrates the number of acres sold and the number of acres acquired as a metric of SNPLMArsquos success The act provides for the orderly disposal of certain federal land in Clark County Nevada and for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the State of Nevada
Tables 5-12 5-13a and 5-13b portray wild horse and burro populations removals and adoptions The BLM is responsible for enforcing the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (Public Law 92-195) which provides for the protection management and control of wild horses and burros on the public lands A major responsibility under the act is to preserve a thriving natural ecological balance on the range To do so it is necessary to remove excess wild horses and burros which are then offered to the general public through the adoption program
Table 5-14 shows the BLMrsquos cultural resource management activities The BLM is steward for the Federal Governmentrsquos largest most culturally diverse and most scientifically important body of cultural resources To carry out this stewardship responsibility the BLMrsquos cultural resource management program is designed to inventory evaluate and manage cultural and paleontological resources on public lands under its jurisdiction The BLM has inventoried 24387122 acres of cultural resources and has recorded 374434 properties
The BLM provides special management prescriptions for public lands under a variety of special designations such as areas of critical environmental concern research natural areas and national natural landmarks Table 5-15 lists the present areas of critical environmental concern and research natural areas managed by the BLM Table 5-16 lists numerous types of areas on the public lands having special management designations not already encompassed by the NLCS

Note The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) (Public Law 105-263) became law in October 1998 The act provides for the disposal of public land within a specific area in the Las Vegas Valley and creates a special account into which 85 percent of the revenue generated by land sales is deposited Of the remaining 15 percent 5 percent goes to the State of Nevada general education program and 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for water treatment and transmission infrastructure The special account is not allocated as part of the federal budget process so any revenue in the account remains available until expended
Special account revenue finances public projects in several categories described in footnote a
226
Table 5-9 SOUTHERN NEVADA PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT ACT BUDGET AUTHORITY FISCAL YEAR 2015ndashcontinued
a Allowable expenditures under the SNPLMA special account include the following
bull Acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in Nevada with priority given to lands in Clark County
bull Capital improvements at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Desert National Wildlife
Refuge Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Great Basin National Park and other areas administered by the BLM and the US Forest Service in Clark Lincoln and White Pine Counties and the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area
bull Development of parks trails and natural areas in Clark Lincoln and White Pine Counties and in portions of Washoe County and Carson City Nevada pursuant to a cooperative agreement with a unit of local or regional government
bull Conservation initiatives on federal land in Clark Lincoln and White Pine Counties and in
portions of Carson City Nevada administered by the Department of the Interior or the Department of Agriculture
bull Development and implementation of a multispecies habitat conservation plan in Clark
County bull Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects bull Hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention within the Lake Tahoe Basin and the
Nevada portions of the Carson Range and the Spring Mountains
bull Projects with the Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Project i ncluding but not limited to f ire management fuels forests woodlands rangelands aspen and riparian communities wildlife habitat soils and watersheds on federal lands in White Pine County andor Lincoln County Nevada
bull Reimbursement of costs incurred by the BLM for implementation of the act and to clear
debris from and protect land within the disposal boundary and land reserved for affordable housing
b All projects completed in FY 2015 r eceived approval and budget authority in Rounds 3 through
13 A round is a cycle or period of time for consideration and approval of projects Terminated projects are not included in the completed project counts
c No new projects were approved in FY 2015 approval of Round 15 projects is pending review and
a decision by the Secretary during FY 2016 d Owing to the interagency nature of many of the conservation initiatives separate ldquosubprojectsrdquo
were set up with the eligible federal agencies to implement 16 of the projects completed in FY 2015
e Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects were funded in Rounds 5 through 12 during which time the
$300 million authorized to be appropriated for projects at Lake Tahoe over 10 years was approved by the Secretary and allocated for that purpose Therefore no additional funds are being allocated to Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects
227
Table 5-9 SOUTHERN NEVADA PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT ACT BUDGET AUTHORITY FISCAL YEAR 2015ndashconcluded
f Preproposal planning reserves approved by the Secretary in Round 6 funded 43 projects across the categories previously listed to develop feasibility studies for future nominations Of these 42 projects were completed in previous fiscal years and the final project was completed in FY 2015

Note The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) (Public Law 105-263) became law in October 1998 The act provides for the orderly disposal of certain federal lands in Clark County Nevada in the Las Vegas Valley within a disposal boundary established by Congress Revenues from SNPLMA are used for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the State of Nevada with a priority for lands in Clark County and for other purposes established by the legislation Land has been acquired in several Nevada counties using funds in the SNPLMA special account
a Land disposal includes auctions (oral Internet sealed bid and modified competitive) direct sales sales for recreational or public purposes affordable housing sales and exchanges
The Santini-Burton boundary and the cooperative management area (CMA) boundary (land conveyed to Clark County through SNPLMA legislation) are both wholly within the SNPLMA disposal boundary When Santini-Burton parcels outside the CMA boundary (but within the SNPLMA disposal boundary) are sold the acres are included in total acres disposed but no revenue from sale of those Santini-Burton parcels goes to the SNPLMA special account
b Includes the acres disposed through conveyance to Clark County for the CMA and to the City of Henderson for the limited transition area (LTA) The 1999-2014 total acres and total parcels disposed have changed from the 2014 report of 28310 acres and 651 parcels due to 8 previously unidentified defaulted sales and 2 previously unidentified completed sales between FY 2000 and FY 2007 These newly identified defaults and sales result in a net increase of 14621 acres sold and a net decrease of 6 parcels sold for the 1999-2014 period These changes do not impact gross revenue reported during the 1999-2014 period
229
Table 5-10 SOUTHERN NEVADA PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT ACT LAND DISPOSAL AND ACQUISITIONS FISCAL YEAR 2015
ndashconcluded c Reported gross revenue reflects revenue from all disposal methods including that from recreational or
public purposes revenue from conveyances of CMA lands by Clark County and revenue from conveyances of LTA lands by the City of Henderson Forfeited land sale bid deposits and nominal proceeds from conveyances of ldquounknownrdquo mineral rights in the early years of SNPLMA are not included in the land disposal revenue Reported gross revenue may reflect deposit amounts only (typically 20 percent of purchase price) for land sales held 6 months or less before the end of the fiscal year in which case the balance of the purchase price will not be due and thus not reported as revenue until the next fiscal year If any sale defaults the number of acres and parcels disposed will be adjusted in the next fiscal year
d ldquoLands acquiredrdquo reflects total acres of environmentally sensitive land acquired (both fee and conservation
easement) using SNPLMA funds by all SNPLMA-eligible federal land management agencies

PART 6
PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY AND RESOURCE PROTECTION
The stewardship role of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) which includes preserving and protecting natural and cultural resources also extends to protecting public health safety and property The BLM is responsible for reducing health and safety risks to employees and the public maintaining facilities and infrastructure and protecting public lands from illegal dumping of wastes theft and destruction of federal property misuse of resources and wildland fires
The 2015 fire season was a difficult one for land managers The amount of land burned across the country in 2015 totaled an astounding 10125 million acresmdashwhich surpassed the previous record for acres burned in a fire season (2006) by more than 200000 acres Just over 68000 fires were reported in 2015 which is slightly below (93 percent) the 10-year average but significantly more than 2014 Wildfires during 2015 burned almost three times the amount of ground compared to what burned in the previous year and the 10125 million acres burned nationally was 145 percent of the 10-year average Note Wildland fire statistics can vary significantly by agency and report this is due to different reporting systems and different ways of labeling and calculating data
Approximately half of the nationrsquos total number of burned acres occurred in Alaska in 2015 Last year was the second busiest year ever recorded in Alaskamdashin terms of acres burned (51 million) Due to the nature of fire suppression in Alaska the rather small number of wildfires (the state had only 1 percent of the nationrsquos reported wildland fires) resulted in a staggering 51 percent of the nationrsquos reported acres burned
The heavy fire activity during the 2015 season was driven by drought conditions in Alaska and geographic areas west of the Continental Divide particularly the Northwest and the Great Basin The fire season was also spurred by periods of frequent dry lightning in those same geographic areas
It was a very busy season for the BLM and the agencys fires accounted for 60 percent of the nations acres burned last year Fires reported on BLM and BLM-protected lands burned a total of more than 6 million acres in 2015 This is a massive jump over BLM wildfire losses in 2014 which totaled a little more than 1 million acres Alaska was by far and away the busiest BLM state for wildfire activity in 2015 Idaho Washington California and Oregon also saw high levels of fire activity on BLM lands
Sage-grouse habitat in the Western US was again impacted by wildfire in 2015 Overall sage-grouse habitat losses to fire in 2015 totaled 562774 acres This figure shows an increase of approximately 100000 acres burned over 2014 Idaho and Oregon saw the most severe impacts from fire to sage-grouse habitatmdashcollectively accounting for 79 percent of BLMrsquos burned sage-grouse habitat Fire impacts to sage-grouse habitat however were not as bad as impacts seen in recent years Limiting wildfire impacts to sage-grouse habitat in the face of extreme fire conditions is evidence that the strategies adopted as a result of Secretarial Order 3336 were effective
Table 6-1 summarizes the number of wildland fires and the acres burned during the FY 2015 fire season on lands protected by the BLM or lands protected under cooperative agreements between the BLM and local fire agencies Looking only at BLM states Alaska had the most wildfire activity in 2015 having about 49 million acres of BLM and BLM-protected land burn last year Idaho was the second most impacted BLM state with about 500000 acres burned
239
Table 6-2 identifies the major types of capital improvements that support the management use and enjoyment of the public lands for commercial recreational and other purposes The trend has been for the BLMrsquos inventory of fixed capital assets (buildings roads recreation sites etc) to increase over time However as the BLM implements its Asset Management Plan which was initially developed in 2006 it will compile a list of real property assets that are candidates for disposition Any asset that is no longer critical to the mission or that is in such poor condition that it is no longer cost effective to maintain will be identified for possible disposal The Asset Management Plan provides the framework for the BLM to streamline its portfolio of assets and optimize the maintenance of those assets that contribute most significantly to the BLMrsquos mission and strategic goals
Table 6-3 summarizes the releases of hazardous substances and other pollutants and contaminants discovered on public lands Historically approximately 60 percent of all hazardous waste sites on public lands result from commercial uses Landfills mines and mill sites airstrips and oil and gas sites account for almost half of these commercial activities The other 40 percent have been caused by illegal activities such as midnight dumping of agricultural and industrial wastes wire burning and illicit drug production
In recent years about 90 percent of the hazardous substance releases found on public lands have resulted from illegal dumping incidents involving debris or drums of biomedical chemical and petroleum wastes and pesticides paints batteries asbestos and illicit drug lab wastes The remaining 10 percent of the hazardous substance releases have come from fuel spills mining wastes and military accidents The number of drug labs has essentially leveled off and even decreased due to enforcement actions taken by both state and federal law enforcement agencies However highly toxic and explosive drug lab wastes continue to be found far afield of the more expected urban locations and in regions not previously plagued by this problem until the last few years More so an increasing number of illegal marijuana gardens are found on public lands
