WasHinoTon, D.C. 20240 (262) 343-1100, DEFENDANTS (Filed Aug. 19, 1985] AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF INTRODUCTION 1. This case challenges the Department of the Interior's conduct of its “land withdrawal review program.” Under that program, the defendants have revoked withdrawals in- volving over 170 million acres of public lands. Another 50 million acres remain to be reviewed. This suit alleges, among other things, that the defendant's land withdrawal review program unlawfully fails to require analysis of proposed withdrawal revocations in land use plans and environmen- tal impact statements, is being conducted without regula- tions, fails to provide for public participation in decision- making, and fails to provide for Congressional and Presidential review of proposed withdrawal revocations. 2. This suit is brought under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 ef seq.; the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, 43 U.S.C. $§ 1701 ef seq.; and the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ S51 ef seq. JURISDICTION 3. This Court has jurisdiction of this action under 28 U.S.C. § 133l(a) (federal question jurisdiction) and 28 U.S.C. § 1346 (suits against agencies and officers of the United States). 4. The claims raised in this suit arise under provisions of the National Cavironmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 e¢ seg.; the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), 43 U.S.C. §§ 1701 ef seg.; and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. §§ S51 et seq. The relief sought is authorized by 28 U.S.C. § 2201 (declaratory judgments) and 28 U.S.C. § 2202 (injunctive relief). Venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C. 12 § 1391(e). There is a present and actual controversy between the parties to this action. PARTIES S. Plaintiff National Wildlife Federation (NWF) has over 4.5 million members and supporters and is the nation’s largest non-profit private conservation organization. Incor- porated under the laws of the District of C olumbia in 1939, NWF is dedicated to the wise use and management of the nation’s natural resources. NWF has affiliate organizations and individual members in each of the $0 states and the District of Columbia. 6. NWF and its members are suffering and will continue to suffer injury in fact as a result of the challenged actions. Members of NWF use and enjoy the environmental re- sources that will be adversely affected by the challenged ac- tions. They regularly use these resources for fishing, hunt- ing, bird and wildlife watching, canoeing and boating, hik- ing, camping, and other similar activities. These persons’ use and enjoyment of these resources will be irreparably in- jured if the defendants are permitted to terminate protec: tive land use restrictions and thereby open up public lands to exploration, development, and disposal, without the development of land use plans, without prior preparation of adequate environmental impact statements, and without compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and pro- cedures. Among other things, the challenged actions will adversely affect plaintiff and its members by destroying tish and wildlife habitat, and by impairing natural beauty. Fur- ther, NWF and its members suffer injury in that they have been and continue to be denied information on the poten. tial impacts of, and alternatives to, defendants’ actions and have been denied the opportunity to participate in defend. ants’ decision-making. Further N‘WF and its members have 13 suffered injury by reason of their elected representatives, including the President of the United States and members of Congress, having been denied the opportunity and responsibility to participate in defendants’ decision-making. 7. Plaintiff and its members are within the zone of in- terests sought to be protected by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. 8. Defendant, Donald P. Hodel is the Secretary of defendant United States Department of the Interior and ts charged by law and regulations with the responsibility of administering and enforcing the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and complying with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. He is sued in his official capacity. 9. Defendant Robert F. Burford is the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. Defendant Burford is charged by law and regulations with the responsibility for managing the public lands in compliance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the National Environ- mental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. He is sued ir his official capacity. 10. Defendam, United States Department of the In- terior, including therein the Bureau of Land Management, is a department and agency of the United States. 11. Plaintiff has made several attempts to resolve the claims raised in this Complaint. On August 14, 1984, plain- tiff delivered a letter to Secretary Clark setting forth plain- tiff’s claims. On January 29, 1985, plaintiff delivered a let- ter to defendant Hodel substantially setting forth these claims again. On April 2, 1985, plaintiff delivered a letter to defendant Burford setting forth these same claims in ad- ditional detail. On April 22, 1985, representatives of the plaintiff met with defendant Burford and members of his staff to discuss these claims. Additional meetings between 14 representatives of both plaintiff and defendants were held on June 5, 1985, and June 19, 1985. Considerable corre- spondence has been exchanged between the parties. How- ever, no resolution of this case has been achieved as a result of these efforts. THE WITHDRAWAL REVIEW PROGRAM 12. Land classifications created under the now expired Classification and Multiple Use Act, 43 U.S.C. §§ I411 ef seq. (1964), and other federal statutes protect substantial areas of public lands from various types of commercial use and disposal. These land classifications have been included in defendants [sic] land withdrawal review program as they are “withdrawals” within the meaning of Section 103)j) of the Federal Land Management and Policy Act, 43 U.S.C. § 1702{)). 13. Similarly, other land withdrawals created by ad- ministrative action segregate areas of public land for some uses and prohibit others. These, too, have been included in defendants’ land withdrawal review program as provid- ed in Section 204(a) and (1) of FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. § 1714fa) and (1) 14. Section 701(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Man- agement Act provides that all land withdrawals and land classifications “in effect as of the date of approval of this Act shall remain in full force and effect until modified under the provisions of this Act ” 43 USC. § DOME) Sometime after the passage of FLPMA, defendants created a Withdrawal Review Program. The purpose of this pro- gram is to review and eliminate use restrictions which limit access to public lands, including land withdrawals and land classifications. 1S. Under the Withdrawal Review Program, defendants have terminated and continue to terminate land classift- 15 cations affecting million [sic] acres of public lands. As of May 1985, land classifications on 152.9 million acres of public lands had been terminated by the defendants. 16. Under the Withdrawal Review Program, defendants have terminated and continue to terminate other land with- drawals affecting millions of acres of public lands. As of May 1985, defendants had terminated such land withdrawals on 20.6 million acres. 17. As of May 1985, defendants have submitted to the Office of Management and Budget recommendations for additional withdrawal revocations on public lands totalling 34 million acres. As of May 1985, approximately 15 million additional acres remain to be reviewed under the Land With- drawal Review Program. 18. Attached to this Complaint as Exhibit A is a list of 788 land status actions, including terminations of land classifications and other land withdrawals, taken by de- fendants since January |, 1981. This list is not intended to be inclusive. Upon information and belief, defendants have taken other such land status actions pursuant to the With- drawal Review Program or other programs and continue to take such actions. COUNT I 19. Pursuani to Section 202 of the Federal Land Policy ~ and Management Act, land use plans shall be developed for the public lands. 43 U.S.C. § 1712. Pursuant to regulations contained at 43 C.F.R. 1600, the land use plan to be developed pursuant to the Act is a “Resource Management Plan.” 20. Defendants have completed Resource Management Plans for only 9 of more than 200 identified resource areas on the public lands. | 16 21. The land use status actions enumerated in Exhibit A were completed without prior preparation of the land use plans required by FLPMA. 22. On information and belief, other land withdrawals, including land classifications, have been terminated by defendants without prior preparation of the land use plans required by FLPMA. 23. Defendants’ failure to prepare Resource Manage- ment Plans prior to commencement of the land status ac- tions enumerated in Exhibit A, or other terminations of land withdrawals, including land classifications, is a violation of defendants’ duties under Sections 102(a)(3), 202(d) and 701(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. §§ 1701(ay(3), 1712(d), 1701(c)), and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706(2). COUNT I 24. Section 204(1) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act provides that the defendants shall review land withdrawals existing in the States of Arizona, Cali- fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, determine whether continuation of these withdrawals is appropriate, and then report these recommendations to the President and, through the President, to the Congress. 25. Defendants have completed the land status actions enumerated in Exhibit A without prior submission of a recommendation to the President or the Congress. 26. Upon information and belief, defendants have ter- minated land withdrawals, including land classifications, other than those listed in Exhibit A, on lands within the western states enumerated in Section 204(1), without prior submission of a recommendation to the President or the Congress. 17 27. Defendants’ failure to submit a recommendation to the President and the Congress prior to taking the land status actions enumerated in Exhibit A or other termina- tions of land classifications or land withdrawals is a viola- tion of defendants’ duties under Sections 204(1) and 701(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. §$§ 1714(1), 1701(c)), and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. § U.S.C. § 706(2). COUNT lll 28. Pursuant to Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, defendants are required to manage the public lands according to principles of multiple use and sustained yield. 29. “Multiple use” is defined by Section 103(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. § 1702(c)) to mean: a combination of balanced and diverse resources uses that takes into account the long-term needs of future generations for renewable and nonrenewable resources, including, but not limited to, recreation, range, timber, minerals, watershed, wildlife and fish, and natural scenic, scientific and historical values; and harmonious and coordinated management of the various resources without permanent impairment of the productivity of the land and the quality of the environment with con- sideration being given to the relative values of the resources and not necessarily to the combination of uses that will give the greatest economic return or the greatest unit Output, including “the use of some land for less than all of the resources.” 18 30. The Withdrawal Review Program emphasizes the availability of public lands for limited purposes, including mineral exploration and development, rather than multi- ple use as defined by the Act. In reliance on this program, defendants have opened millions of acres of public lands to mineral exploration and development. 31. Detendants’ failure to adequately consider multiple uses of the lands reviewed under the Withdrawal Review Program constitutes a violation of defendants’ duties under Sections 102(a)(7) and 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. §§ 1701(a)(7), 1732), and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706(2). COUNT IV 32. Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires all federal agencies, including detendant United States Department of the Interior, to “[iJnclude in every recommendation or report on . . . ma- jor Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, a detailed statement [commonly re- ferred to as an environmental impact statement or EIS} by the responsible official on . . . the environmental impact of the proposed action. . . .” This provision imposes a man- datory duty upon the defendants to prepare an environ- mental impact statement on each individual land classifica- tion termination and land withdrawal revocation, on the cumulative effects of these actions, and on the Withdrawal Review Program itself. 33. Upon information and belief, defendants have not prepared environmental impact statements on the With- drawal Review Program or any of its components including the land status actions enumerated in Exhibit A. 19 34. Defendants’ failure to prepare such environmental impact statements in compliance with the Council on En- vironmental Quality’s NEPA regulations (40 C.F.R. §§ 1500, ef seq.) and the Department of the Interior NEPA procedures and regulations is a violation of defendants’ duties under the National Environmental Policy Act, and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and other- wise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706. COUNT V 35. Section 310 of the Federal Land Policy and Man- agement Act [sic] 43 U.S.C. § 1740), the Administrative Procedure Act, and the regulations adopted thereunder, re- quire the defendants to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the land management objectives of the Federal Land Management and Policy Act. 36. Defendants have not promulgated regulations gov- erning the revocation of withdrawals, including the termina- tion of land classifications. 37. Defendants’ failure to promulgate rules and regula- tions governing termination of land classifications and land withdrawals prior to taking such actions is a violation of defendants’ duties under the Federal Land Policy and Man- agement Act and the Administrative Procedure Act and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. § U.S.C. § 706. 38. Alternatively, Section $53 of the Administrative Procedure Act (§ U.S.C. § 553) requires Federal agencies to promulgate regulations only after the public has been given notice and been afforded a reasonable opportunity to comment On proposed regulations. 39. No regulations regarding terminations of land with- drawals, including land classifications, undertaken pursuant to the Federal Land Management and Policy Act have been 20 promulgated by defendants in accordance with the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. 40. Defendants have instead issued various directives, instructional memoranda, manuals, and other documents providing information and guidance to defendants’ employees and-agents on the manner in which the land withdrawal review program should be conducted. The public was afforded no opportunity for comment on these docu- ments. 41. Defendants’ issuance of various documents consti- tuting de facto regulations regarding land classification and land withdrawal terminations without public notice and op- portunity for public comment is a violation of defendants’ duties under the Administrative Procedure Act, and ts ar- bitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. § U.S.C. § S551, ef seq. COUNT VI 42. On information and belief, defendants’ decisions to terminate land classifications and land withdrawals, in- cluding those enumerated in Exhibit A, are not justified by the administrative record and are therefore in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, and are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in ac- cordance with law. § U.S.C. § 706(2). COUNT Vil 43. Defendants have provided no opportunity for public comment on, or other public participation or involvement in, their decisions regarding the Land Withdrawal Review Program. 44. For the land use status actions enumerated in Ex- hibit A, no notice of proposed action was published in the 21 Federal Register prior to the actior being taken. No public comment was invited or considered. 45. Upon information and belief, defendants have ter- minated other withdrawals, including land classifications, without providing an opportunity for meaningful public par- ticipation. No notices of proposed action were published. No public comment was invited. 46. Defendants’ failure to provide for public participa- tion in the development of the Withdrawal Review Proeram, in the land use status actions enumerated in Exhibit A and other terminations of land classifications and other land withdrawals is a violation of defendants’ duties under Sec- tions 102(aX5), 202(cM9), 202(f), and 30%e) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. §§ 1701(aX5), 1712cM9), 1712¢f), 1739e)) and of the Administrative Pro- cedure Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706. COUNT Sill 47. On information and belief, defendants’ decisions to - terminate land classifications and other land withdrawals, including those enumerated in Exhibit A, were not done in compliance with applicable regulations. Among other things, defendants’ actions were not determined to be in con- tormity with the approved Resource Management Plans as required by 43 CFR § 1610.5-3 (1984), and where no ap- plicable Resource Management Plan had been approved, defendants’ actions were not supported by conformance determinations or other required documentation pursuant to 43 CFR § 1610.8 (1984). 48. Defendants’ termination of land withdrawals, in- cluding land classifications, absent compliance with ap- plicable regulations violated the defendants’ duties pursuant 22 to those regulations, the Federal Land Policy and Manage- ment Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act, and was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706.

ROBERT F. BURFORD, DONALD P. HODEL, AND UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, DEFENDANTS AFFIDAVIT 1A OF FRANK EDWARDS 1. |, Frank Edwards, Assistant Director, Land Resources, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Depart- . ment of the Interior, Washington, D.C., hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the information contained in this affidavit is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. The documents referred to in this affidavit are under my direction and control. | have held the position of Assistant Director since October 1982 and have been employed by the Bureau of Land Management tor about 29 years. Based upon my past employment with the Bureau and my current job responsibilities, | am familiar with the subject matter of this affidavit and the Bureau procedures and data relating to it. 2. In this affidavit 1 will discuss the FLPMA section 204(a) authority to revoke withdrawals in relation to federal land withdrawals. INTERIOR’S GENERAL AUTHORITY TO REVOKE WITHDRAWALS 3. Betore the passage of FLPMA, general land withdrawal authority, including the authority to revoke %6 withdrawals was vested in the President. This authority was delegated to the Secretary of the Interior by Executive Order No. 10355 of May 26, 1952, 17 FR. 4831. (Exhibit 1) FLPMA repealed the President's general withdrawal authority and in FLPMA Congress granted to the Secretary of the Interior general authority to make, modify, extend or revoke withdrawals. 4. In 1980, the Ottice of the Solhkcuor of the Depart- ment of the Interior concluded that the withdrawal review and termination provisions of FLPMA § 204(/) were sellf- contamed and that i was not necessary that all actions taken to end withdrawals be made subject to those provi- sions. (Exhibit 2). Individual proposed res cations arising in the ordinary course of business of the holding agency, (hatts tosay the agency having administrative jurisdiction over the withdrawn lands, could be processed to comple- ion, Pursuant to the separate revocation authority of the Secretary under section 204(4a). On the other hand, withdrawals that were subject to the review Provisions ol PLPMA § 204(/) could not be broughi to an end using the Secretary's revocation authority under FLPMA § 204¢a). HH STEPS TAREN NORMALLY LO REVORE 4 WITHDRAWAL UNDER FLPMA SEC TION lode S. In the past, withdrawal revocations have been ini- lated by one of three means: a) Departments or agencies holding withdrawals which they no longer need will file a holice Of intention to rehquish the reserved lands with the Bureau of Land Management. b) Any member of the public could tile a petition requesting revocation of a withdrawal. Now, any member of the public may file a petition to restore and open public lands to the muning laws In cases Where the lands are withdrawn tor powes purposes or reclamation projects. co) In the case of Bureau of Land Management lands that have been previously cle EN ls ae 57 withdrawn from the operation of the public land laws and where that protection is no longer required, BLM itself can initiate a revocation proposal. The notice of relin- quishment process is set forth in 43 C.F.R. Subpart 2370. The regulations are supplemented by further instructions found in Bureau of Land Management Manual Part 2372. (Exhibit 3). 6. With regard to relinquishments by holding agen- cies, they are processed in the following manner. Upon receipt of the notice, the Bureau of Land Management’s State office will review its contents tor regulatory com- pliance and determine if the information in the notice is sufficient to support the proposed return of the land to In- -erior’s jurisdiction. The State office also will undertake a land status check, based on the federal land records main- tained in that office. Additionally, the State office will take whatever steps are necessary to be assured that the of- ficial filing the notice was duly authorized and empowered . todo so. When these steps have been taken, the notice and the nucleus of the case file will become part of the existing withdrawal case and forwarded (to the correct district Manager for further processing. 7. The district manager will analyze the sufficiency of the information contained in or accompanying (he notice of intention to relinquish. The district manager will make such investigations and undertake such negouations as are Necessary to determine whether the lands have been substantially changed in character by unprovements or otherwise and whether the lands are in need of decon- LamimMation Of protective measures. [f so, he will negouate the terms and conditions tor an accepiabdie agreement for decontamination of protection of the lands. If the iands or resources have been disturbed, the district manager may also negotiate the terms and conditions for an acceptable agreement for reconditioning the lands. Also, uf the lands 58 have been substantially changed in character by im- provements or otherwise, determination is made as to whether minerals in the land are suitable for disposition under the mining and mineral laws. 8. The foregoing investigations and negotiations are summarized and incorporated into a land report. Land reports are required for all realty actions. In the case of proposed wthdrawal relinquishments and revocations, the land report addresses: where the lands are located, precise- ly what they have been withdrawn from, why revocation would be appropriate, and to what extent the lands would be opened; a description of the character of the lands; a statement regarding present and expected post revocation land actions or uses; a mineral report, if appropriate; and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). If a recommendation is made not to pro- ceed with a proposed relinquishment and revocation, the report must contain an explanation for the recommenda- tion. Further details as to the revocation process are set forth in Organic Act Directive No. 81-10, dated May 15, 1981. (Exhibit 4). 9. Following completion of the land report, the case tile containing it and other documents assembled in proc- essing the proposed relinquishment are returned to the State office with the district manager’s recommendation. The State Director will recommend whether the withdrawn land should be returned to Interior’s jurisdiction, follow- ing revocation, and will inform the holding agency of the recommendation. In some instances the Bureau will condi- tion acceptance of the relinquishment upon the holding agency’s compliance with certain specified conditions. The General Services Administration is notified of the Bureau’s decision. 43 C.F.R. Part 2370. 10. If it recommends that the reserved lands be relin- quished and that the withdrawal be revoked, the State of- 59 fice prepares a draft public land order (PLO) and a draft transmittal memorandum that will accompany the land report and the order to the Secretary. [hese documents are submitted to the Regional Solicitor for review. After review for legal sufficiency by the Regional Solicitor, the holding agency is notified in writing that the lands have been found suitable for restoration to their former (pre- withdrawal) status. Thereafter, the case file containing the land report and other documents are forwarded to the Director of the Bureau of Land Management here in Washington, D.C. ll. The Director reviews the submissions trom the State Director to ensure comphance with program policy guidance and manual direction. If needed, adjustments are made in the dratt public land order. The Solicitor’s Ot- fice reviews the proposed public land order as to its suitability for the exercise of FLPMA § 204(a) revocation authority. The public land order, then, is forwarded to the Assistant Secretary tor Land and Minerals Management along with the Bureau of Land Management's recommen- dation, transmittal memorandum. The Assistant Secretary reviews these documents, and if he concurs, the public land order revoking the withdrawal will be signed and sent on tor publication in the Federal Register. 12. Basically, the same process is followed in the case of BLM-initiated revocations, except that since the lands are already under Interior's jurisdiction and control, i ts not, Of Course, Necessary to follow ail of the relinquish- ment procedures. 13. Petitions tor withdrawal revocations are no longer serialized by the Bureau and treated in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Bureau of Land Management's Nlanual Part 2371. Instead, such requests are treated as an indication of Interest in public land management and land use planning. Therefore, they are referred to the ap- 60 propriate field office for consideration as public input into the land use planning process under FLPMA § 202. In this regard, reference may be made to Instruction Memoran- dum No. 78-233 dated May 1, 1978 (Exhibit 5). I4. The Solicitor’s review mentioned above in paragraph 11 was initiated during January of 1983. (Ex- hibit 6). In briet, a case file will be processed as a FLPMA § 204(a) revocation, as opposed to a FLPMA § 204(/) withdrawal review case file, if: (1) a notice of intention to relinquish was tiled before 1980 and there is nothing in the file presented tor review to indicate that the relinquish- Ment request was undertaken in anticipation of having to comply with the withdrawal review requirements of ELPMA § 204(/); (2) the lands included in the withdrawal that would be revoked are not located in a FLPMA § 204(/) state (i.e., Alaska or one of the eastern states); (3) the proposed withdrawal revocation pertains to. either Bureau of Land Management or U.S. Forest Service lands that are not closed to mining and/or the Mineral Leasing Laws. (e.g., a stock driveway withdrawal); (4) the request to revoke has been brought about in the ordinary course of business of the holding agency (usually this occurs in order lo facilitate another land transaction such as an exchange, a sale, or a state in-heu selection, which could not proceed without revoking the withdrawal); (5) the revocation ac- tion is required by an act of Congress; (6) the revocation action is Merely a formality to clear the records as to lands that before the enactment of FLPMA had been conveyed out of federal ownership, without concurrent action hav- ing been taken to properly conform the land records. 1S. Prior to the development in 1978 of categorical ex- clusions (CEs) by the President’s Council on Enviroumen- tal Quality, 40 C.F.R. 1500 ef seg., and the Bureau's development of its CEs in 1981, the Bureau used en- vironmental assessments (EAs) as the principal mechanism a ee ee el, e+ 61 for achieving NEPA compliance in implementing its Sec- tion 204(a) authority. As more EAs were prepared, it became clear that they were showing that the mere revoca- tion of a withdrawal did not have a significant impact upon the quality of the human environment. 16. On December 15, 1980, the Bureau published (45 f.R. 82367) its proposed CEs and requested public com- ment. (Exhibit 7). Six of the proposed CEs related to pro- posed withdrawal revocations. Six comments were re- ceived, including one by the National Wildlife Federation dated January 12, 1981 (Exhibit 8). The Federation com- mented on three of the proposed CEs, opposed two (where the Secretary is fulfilling a mandatory duty and has no discretion, and where future land actions would be suSject to NEPA compliance), supported one (where lands are open to mining but the land has no known mineral value), and were silent on the rest. 17. With some slight modifications, the CEs were issued in final form on January 23, 1981. 46 F.R. 7492. (Exhibit 9). The Federation made no further comment. On December 9, 1981, the Bureau proposed additional CEs and published them for public comment. 46 F.R. 60278. (Exhibit 10). On January 25, 1982, the Federation com- mented on the proposed CEs, but made no comment on any of the CEs relevant to this case. POST REVOCATION STATUS OF LANDS INCLUDED IN A SECTION 20442) WITHDRAW AL REVOCATION 18. The consequences of revoking a withdrawal vary considerably depending upon individual circumstances. In many cases there will be no change whatsoever. Basically, there are two reasons for this. The lands may be subject to another withdrawal of comparable scope or they may be subject to classification segregations tantamount to such a withdrawal. In that case, the lands would not be opened to 62 the operation of the public land laws so that the removal of one of the withdrawals has no practical effect. Another reason why there may not be any change is that before the revocation occurred, the lands may have been transferred into private Ownership. Consequently, the withdrawal revocation amounts to nothing more than a paper transac- tion with no substantive impact. 19. In the alternative, a revoked withdrawal may open the lands to the operation of the public land and mineral laws. 20. Some withdrawal revocations are made without prior Knowledge as to what subsequent disposition may be made of the lands. After the lands are opened, they might be transferred out of federal ownership by sale, exchange, or some other discretionary mode of disposal, not an- ticipated when the withdrawal was revoked. These subse- quent discretionary achions require separate and independ- ent decisionmaking that, obviously, are divorced from the prior revocation decision. Environmental and = other management concerns and public participation are taken into account in relation to the post-revocation decision- making. 21. As noted in paragraph 19, the opening of public lands tollowing the revocation of a withdrawal may also lead to the locating of mining claims under the Mining Law of 1872. The right to go upon the opened !ands for the purpose of mineral prospecting, exploration, develop- ment, extraction and other uses reasonably incident to mining Operations carries with it the requirement to under- take adequate and responsible measures to prevent un- necessary or undue degradation of the federal lands and to provide for reasonable reclamation of those lands. 43 C.F.R. Subpart 3809. Similar regulations apply to na- tional torest reservation lands. 22. Mining operators on project areas causing a cumulative surtace disturbance in excess of five acres dur- 63 ing any calendar year must file a plan of operations with the Bureau of Land Management tor its approval. The purpose of the plan is to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation and provide for reasonable reclamation. An LA is prepared by the Bureau to identify the impacts of the proposed operations and to determine whether an EIS is required. The EA also is used 10 determine the adequacy of mitigating measures and reclamation procedures in- cluded in the plan to ensure the prevention of unnecessary degradation of the land. Operations are required to be conducted to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of the lands and to comply with all pertinent tederal and state laws including but not limited to air quality, water quality, solid waste treatment requirements, and the prevention of adverse impacts to threatened or endangered species and their habitat. The regulations also provide that operators shall not Knowingly disturb, alier, injure, or destroy any scientifically important paleontological remaims or any historical or archaeological sites, structure, building or ob- ject on the federal lands. An opportunity is afforded for investigation and salvage of cultural and paleontology values discovered after a plan of operation has been ap- proved or where a plan ts not involved. 23. Failure of the operator to either file a plan of operations or to tulfill its terms and conditions subjects the operator to being served with a Notice of Non- compliance and a possible court injunction. 43 C.F.R. 3809. 3-2. 24. Operators on project areas causing a cumulative surface disturbance on five acres or less during any calen- dar year are required to tile a Notice. The notice must identity the lands in question, describe (he access routes, and steps to be taken to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of the lands and reclamation of same. The regulations set torth detailed standards relating to en- Vironmental proteciion. 43 C.F.R. 3809.1-3. Operators 64 are also subject to the noncompliance procedures con- tained in 43 C.F.R. 3809.3-2. STATISTICAL SUMMARY OF SECTION 204(a) WITHDRAWAL REVOCATION 25. Since the passage of FLPMA, 671 public land orders, revoking withdrawals covering 19,957,607 acres of public lands have been issued by Interior. Some of the revoked withdrawals overlapped other withdrawals that remain in effect, hence, the net acreage affected was: 17,303,371 acres. The revocation orders were the result of: (1) the disposition of pre-FLPMA withdrawal relinquish- ment and revocation requests pending at the time FLPMA was enacted; (2) record clearing actions as to lands no longer in government ownership but noted on the official status record as still being withdrawn from disposal under one or more of the public land laws; (3) revocations of withdrawals specifically excluded from review under FLPMA § 204(/); and (4) revocations (not including those mentioned in (1) above) that were made pursuant to the “ordinary course of business” rule, as articulated in the 1980 legal opinion of the Department’s counsel. The aforementioned figures are broken down by states as follows: ; State Alaska Arizona California Colorado Idaho Montana Nevada New Mexico Oregon Utah Washington Wyoming Eastern States Office 65 Acres Withdrawals Revoked 5,748,365 2,313,868 $63,524 1,213,882 382,356 1,587,631 1,028,795 379,070 303,733 5,423,806 740,904 244,648 27,025 19,957,607 67 EE LLL Of the 19,957,607 acres on which withdrawals have been revoked, 15,407,495 acres were opened to the 26. tre 99] sey re 0 0 0 0 0 ore 0 0 0 0 OOO THI 0 uO RurnsP /Pudulpy sug aor png o adc) SAIO| operation of one or more of the public land laws.

In addition to the total set forth in paragraph 26 (15,407,495 acres) withdrawals were revoked on an addi- tional 4,550,112 acres that did not result in the lands re- maining open to the operation of the public land laws. The reasons are: Acreage Land selected by States for transfer to State ownership 267,748 Overlapping Withdrawals Kept the Lands Closed 2,654,236 Lands Transferred trom Federal Ownership (vast majority transterred prior to revocation) 1,119,640 Record Clearing Only (Lands trans- ferred trom Federal ownership prior to the revocation and noted in PLO as “record clearing”) 212,205 Other (In aid of legislation; to facilitate resurveys; disposal of excess prop- erty; to facilitate inventories of land mineral values) 296,283 TOTAL 4,550,112 28. Withdrawals effecting 15,407,495 acres (the total in paragraph 26) have been revoked since 1976 which have returned the public lands to the operation of the public land laws and an addition 4,450,112 acres (paragraph 27) which did not. Revocations thus covered a total of 19,957,607 acres. 29. Of the 15,407,495 acres that were formally withdrawn and are now open, 12,366,007 acres are open to the operation of the mining law. The following statistical 69 breakdown, by state, shows the acres opened, the number of mining claims filed with the Bureau, the number of claims on which Notices have been filed (disturbance by mining activities on 5 acres or less), the number of plans of operations filed (disturbance of more than 5 acres), and the number of mineral patents issued (transference of fee title to the mining claimant). Some lands on which withdrawals were revoked opened the lands to all forms of mining; other lands were already opened to some form of mining (metalliferous) and the withdrawal revocation only opened the land to nonmetalliferous mining.: |.

OF the 2,489 claims tiled (and the resultant 11 Notices and 8 Plans of Operations) on lands opened only (oO non-metalliferous mining as a result of the withdrawal revocation, i cannot be determined how many relate only tO Nnon-metalliterous clams. The Bureau's mining clam recordation system does not distinguish between non- metalliterous and metalliterous claus. Thus, the actual number of claims, notices, and plans of operations tiled on lands opened following the revocatiotis in issue ts less than shown in the chart in paragraph 29. We would estimate that approximately 70 to 80 percent of the clams were filed tor metalliterous minerals and, thus, were in ne way atfected by the revocations in issue in this litigation, 31.) An analysis of these tigures shows that lands opened tor the first time to all forms of mining total 7,034,921 acres, or approximately 340 of the total public lands. 32. With regard to the mining clams set forth in paragraph 29, the majority were located in 1983. A bureau-wide and state-by-state breakdown on the mining clanms ts attached as Exhibit LL. The acreage figures in Ev- hibit 13 do not necessarily comeide with the acreage figures given in paragraph 29 because the figures in paragraph 29 relate to the total acres opened to the mining laws While the acreage tigures in Exhibit 11 relate to the acreage in the public land orders (PLO) opened to the muin- inv laws and only on some of which were claims tiled. For example, in Nevada, paragraph 29 shows that 98,659 acres 73 were opened to all mining with 134 resultant mining claims. Exhibit 11 shows that the 134 mining claims relate only to two PLOs that opened 15,346 acres to all forms of mining. Because of overlapping claims, it is not possible to determine the net acreage impacted by the 134 mining claims; however, Bureau experience shows the average claim is approximately 20 acres. Thus, in this example (land opened to all forms of mining in Nevada), while 98,659 acres were opened, only approximately 2,680 acres were affected by claims. Further, Exhibit ||] shows that tor the last three months for which figures are available, only 45 claims have been filed: March 1985 —15 claims tiled; April 1985 —29 claims filed; May 1985—1 claim tiled. 33. In summary, the acreas affected by or opened to the mining jaw area as follows: Acres opened to ail or some form of mining 12,366,007 Total mining claims tiled 5.644 Actual acreage affected (each claim covering an average of 20 acreas; overlapped acreage not calculated) 112,880 41 Notices tiled on § acres or less (assuming Maximum acres possible) 205 25 Plans of Operations (averaging 20 acres) S00 | declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United Staies thai the foregoing is true and correct.

BUREORD, £7 47... DEFENDANTS DECLARATION OF G. WILLIAM LAMB 1. G. William Lamb District Manager of the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona Strip District, declare undet penalty of perjury that the following is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and beliet. There have been several withdrawals and classifications placed on the public lands in Arizona north of the Col- orado River known as the Arizona Strit. In 1930 Executive Order 5339 withdrew a large area along the Colorado River including a portion of the Shiv- wits Plateau (see attached map for detail). The withdrawal segregated the land from all forms of land disposal but was left open for metalliferous mineral exploration which included uranium, copper and other hard rock minerals. In 1948 a portion of that withdrawal located on the Shiv- wits Plateau was revoked. In 1964 Lake Mead National Recreation Area was established, and in 1975 the Grand Canyon was enlarged, these two Congressional land ac- tions covered the major portion of the 1930 withdrawal and provided greater protection from mineral exploration than the original withdrawal. The remaining portion of the 1930 withdrawal was revoked in 1981 and 1982. There is, however, over 100 sections of land within the original 1930 withdrawal on the Shivwits and Sanup Plateaus that are privately owned minerals that were not subject to the withdrawal segreations. Departmental Orders between the years of 1953 and 1963 withdrew approximately 65,000 acres for water storage projects on the Colorado River below Glen Canyon. This action withdrew the land from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, but in 1954 they were Opened to mining location, entry and patents. With designation of the Paria Canyon Primitive Area in 1969 and establishment of the Glen Canyon National Recrea- tion Area (NRA) in 1972, approximately 23,000 acres were returned back under the operation of the public land laws in 1981. The remaining acres were retained for Glen Canyon NRA and the Paria Primitive area. In 1984 ap- proximately one half of the 23,000 acres that was lifted was included within the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area. Approximately 42,000 acres of the original withdrawal continues to be protected under those withdrawals. Of these 42,000 acres approximately 30,000 acres are found within the Glen Canyon NRA, the Grand Canyon National Park, or the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Clitfs Wilderness Area. This provides double coverage from all form of land appropriation, but leaves the area open for water impoundment and storage along the Co- lorado River and its tributaries. Between 1967 and 1970 approximately 2,566,000 acres of public land on the arizona Strip was classified for multiple use management under the Multiple Use and Classification Act of 1964. This segregated the land from sale, agricultural and exchange laws except for 8,219 acres that was further segregated from the mining laws (see at- tached map for location of the 8,219 acres). Since these classifications were determined to be unnecessary after the passage of FLPMA they were terminated in 198t, How- ever, approximately 3,300 acres of the 8,219 acres which were segregated from the mining laws are sall included in the Virgin River Gorge scenic withdrawal or the newly designated wilderness areas which continue to segregate these areas from all torm of appropriation, The majority of the land in the Arizona Strip has always been open to Metalliterous exploration and des clopment including uranium mining. While the actions taken since 1981 did open some of these lands to the mining laws, this is likely to have little effect on the uses of these lands because in Our opinion they do not conta any nonmetal- literous mineral that can be economically mined. s G.

BURFORD, ET AL.. DEFENDANTS DECLARATION OF JACK KELLY 1, Jack Kelly, under penalty of perjury state: 1. I am presently employed as the Lander, Wyoming Resource Area Manager, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Department of the Interior, Lander, Wyoming. 2. I have served in my present position with the BLM since September 1983. Prior to that, I served as Assistant District Manager, Lands and Renewable Resources, for the Rawlins, Wyoming District of the BLM, from November 1978 to August 1983. On occasion during that period, I served as acting District Manager, Rawlins District. To date, | have been employed by the BLM over a period of fifteen (15) years. 3. My current job responsibilities include overall management and supervision over BLM’s land manage- ment activities in the Lander Resource Area, which com- prises in excess of 2.5 million acres of public domain lands situated in west-central Wyoming. Included within this large area is an area comprising approximately 1.2 million acres Known as the Green Mountain area. 124 4. The Green Mountain area ts basically composed of three relatively discrete areas. The Green Mountain Crooks Mountain area ts located in the southern portion of the overall area, and ts situated approximately 60 miles east-southeast of Lander and immediately to the south west and southeast of Jeffrey Civ, Wyoming. The predominate features of the area are Green Mountain and Crooks Mountain, each of which rises m excess of 2,000 feet above the surrounding plains and ts characterized by steep slopes and dense lodgepole pine forests interspersed with meadows near the upper portion of the mountains. The Green Mountain-Crooks Mountam area ts note worthy primarily for its timber resources, deer and elk herds, recreation, and its valuable deposits of uranium, § The South Pass Area is located approximately 24 mules due south of Lander and ts situated at the south end of the Wind River Mountain range. [It ts an important recreation area, and people come there to fish, hunt, camp, or partake of the rich histormeal and cultural heritage that exists by virtue of the South Pass Mining District, an active gold mining area that has been actively mined, commercially o1 recreationally, trom the mid-19th century to the present. 6. The third general part of this area encompasses a ,ast amount of lands Iying basically between the Green Mountain-Crooks Mountain Area and the South Pass Area, together with substantial amount of land lying to the south and north. This “third area” is signifi [Text truncated at 120,000 characters.
